And now… Glee?
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The popular jukebox musical TV show, which ran for six seasons from 2009 to 2015, could be making a comeback. At least, according to Fox’s Entertainment President Michael Thorn.
Six years after its series finale, the show has maintained a strong cult following, thanks in large part to social media platforms like TikTok, where users often reenact the show’s campiest and most over-the-top moments.
While speaking to Deadline about bringing back the series 24, Thorn let it slip that Fox is also considering reviving a few other projects, including Glee, saying he’d “love to do more.”
“We always welcome celebrating our iconic shows and revisiting those with surprising takes and new approaches so, especially in this crowded market, we’re always open to reinventing our best IP with some of our favorite partners.”
Of course, rumors of a Glee reboot have been swirling for years. Pretty much ever since the show ended. So we’d take all this with a huge grain of salt.
Twitter seems to have mixed feelings about the idea…

A glee reboot might actually be the final nail in our coffin as a society.

Soon they’ll be rebooting shows before they’ve even finished their initial run. Snooze.

Let me guess, they’ll cast a bunch of great looking, 25 year old actors to play high school students, but put them in glasses to let us know they’re supposed to be misfits.

The first 6 episodes were good. everything that followed was garbage.

Maybe I aged out of its key demo (I was in my 20s when it aired). Maybe it was the frequently awkward mixture of shallow schmaltz and creaky melodrama and hit-or-miss comedy. But I just could not get into it. I tried for like the first several seasons. And yeah, there were a few solid episodes in the first half of its debut season. After that, it got pretty bad and stayed pretty bad.

Just let sleeping dogs lie already!

You know who came up with the expression let sleeping dogs lie? A DOG! You are not going to change him. You gotta live with it or end it. Tinkle or get off the pot.

Maybe it can be American Horror Glee and they all get eaten by aliens or witches. I’d watch that.

The show was well written and acted in the first few seasons but then it cratered and became a disaster. And the ratings collapsed as well. The cast was way too large. There wasn’t enough for the characters to do. You would have main characters who barely had lines.
Most baffling is how the writers would set up major plots and then drop them. They hired a recurring cast member to do a love triangle storyline with Kurt and Blaine and then just like that, it was dropped. They gave Kurt’s dad cancer, and then we never heard another word about it. They stuck in a line much later that he had healed offscreen. Just awful writing.

It will probably be a all black cast. It seems that’s a trend lately. Look at the wonder years has been rebooted with all black cast. The original series stayed on the air longer than it should have. Sometimes in that case , it would have been better to have ended it earlier .it got progressively worst to almost unwatchable

The all black cast version of tired old properties is the height of creativity in the brain dead wasteland that is now corporate Hollywood.
