I also read this on msn and totally agree. Just do a spin-off with Rachel and Kurt. It will be like Mary Tyler Moore, but not funny.

Only 10 reasons? That doesn't seem like nearly enough.

Reason #11: It sucks.

Those are some of the many reasons why I have taken it off of my Tivo list.

I think #10 is right on target. There are too many "issues" in Glee. And singing showtunes and covers doesn't seem to make anyone any better.

It seems that Ryan Murphy wants to punish certain actors because they won't do what he wants. For example when Puck had to date Lauren and when Quinn had to sleep with Santana. What did these actors do to get such bad storylines?

I think the show caters to fans too much. A lot of shows have this issue, especially when it comes to shippers.

The recycled storylines are actually the #1 reason I stopped watching. That and I realized that I no longer care about what happens to the characters.

I should add though that I'm probably going to watch tonight to find out what happens from last episode's cliffhanger (which I only watched for "Not Getting Married Today.")

Murphy wants to f*ck Darren Chris so badly it's so painfully obvious by his nonstop push of that actor/character.

I don't know why I still watch the show; perhaps I'm a loyalist who just has to see things through. Yet, every week, I sit amazed that such terrible things make it to air. After all, what we see are the FINAL copies of those scripts ... I shutter to think what the rough drafts read like.

I agree with that entire list. But, really I dislike Kurt and Rachel, so they made that part of the show my least favorite. But then the new characters in Ohio are boring too, so that's why I stopped watching it regularly.

I stopped watching half way through the second season. It was already becoming too heavy handed on the issues and the characters were ALL becoming tiresome.

Wait...did we ever start watching Glee?

According to the "EW Death Watch", it's expected to return for a 5th season although negotiations are ongoing.

Also of note is what we all already know: Smash is a goner.

All that matters to me right now is that the season finishes airing and the writers have some closure planned for the final episode this season.

So true. I really hope that they wrap things up.

I don't think I ever consciously stopped watching Glee for a particular reason. I just slowly stopped watching it.

For me, though, I really didn't like the way they treated the homosexuality plot line. After a while it was like, "yes, we get it, Kurt is gay. You don't have to remind us with every single line he says." It drove me crazy. The whole show was screaming "LOOK AT US! WE HAVE A GAY CHARACTER! WE'RE SO MODERN AND ACCEPTING LIKE THAT!"
So many shows, like Pretty Little Liars, have an openly gay character who is just gay. Not for a plot point, not to get attention, not as a sob story. They're just gay, and everyone knows, and it's sort of a non-issue. Isn't THAT what true acceptance is? When being gay is not even a relevant fact?

Remember the episode when Kurt went to Mercedes' church wearing that stupid hat and he had a "moment" with a black woman wearing the same hat? I think silly writing like that is why people stopped watching.

And why do tv writers think all black people (and only black people) go to church? Remember when everyone on Smash went to church so that McPhee could get in a gospel number?

Perhaps if the writers actually created plausible scenarios, people would continue watching their shows.

For me, though, I really didn't like the way they treated the heterosexuality plot line. After a while it was like, "yes, we get it, Finn is straight. You don't have to remind us with every single line he says." It drove me crazy. The whole show was screaming "LOOK AT US! WE HAVE A straight CHARACTER! WE'RE SO MODERN AND ACCEPTING LIKE THAT!"
