Not Feeling the Glee

I know I’m supposed to love Glee. I’ve heard that every week the songs from the show end up at the top of the I-Tunes charts. But I just don’t get it!

For me, musical numbers are a tricky proposition. Most of the time I think characters suddenly breaking into song in the middle of a scene is too cheesy and makes it tough for me to take the storyline seriously. A few movies have done it successfully (“Chicago” comes to mind), but even well-done big screen examples are few and far between.
