    Still the most positive, fun show on TV. Yes it can be silly and have plot holes bigger than the grand canyon, but its means a break from all the reality and crime shows. The music is great, sometimes the Glee versions are superior.

    Glee came back but with hugh difference, instead of continuing with his hilarious pop plots, the writers decided to return to Glee's roots! More Brodway than Britney, more drama than sit-com, glee reflects conflicts of adolescents with humor and maturity without falling into absurdity.

It had drama and humor in all the right places - exquisite plot points; essentially every episode left with me wanting more. The second season was really no different, coming into parodies of different other musical performances was entertaining and highly enjoyable. However, this third season started out well, but I am afraid has more or less fallen on a flat note.
    Basically, the third season, so far, has included drama centering around characters we know little to nothing about, Sugar, the Irish kid, and that black football player guy. Does anyone care about these characters? Oh, it's so sad that the Irish kid is picked on, and now he's being deported. Honestly, he said he'd been home sick in the first episode he was in, and then, a few episodes later, with no further character development, all of a sudden the Glee club is his home away from home, and he doesn't want to leave. There was an entire episode centered around who Sugar would date for Valentine's Day, which is just boring and superfluous. And Mercedes is 'torn' between this black guy we know nothing or care nothing about, and Sam who we know and love. There is no character development on these newer characters, and the drama is centering largely around them, and then some other stupid plot points around some of the better known characters. And what's with the sudden wardrobe changes for everybody? We all know these actors are not teenagers, but in the first and second seasons, they at least dressed like teenagers - now they look their age, which is late twenties and sometimes early thirties... why? Quinn looks like she's 27...
    In other words, huge Gleek here, but the only episodes I have liked in this season have been the Michael episode (though whether this is due to content or the theme of the episode I am not sure) and the finale, with Karofsky and Quinn both in danger - because honestly, I care about them finally, not about the Irish kid (since I can't even come up with his name, Rory is it?) and Sugar (an annoying girl who can't sing but is in the Glee club because her father has money?)    … Expand

    God, does this show just suck. The dialogue sounds like it's written by baboons. The singing sounds like computerized voices (because it is). Everything about this show has no class or quality. Watch Modern Family or Raising Hope or Parks and Recreation (the best show on television) instead.

    Glee season 3 has been off to a good start, living true to its promise of 'back to basics' with the characters we've grown fond of for the last two seasons. The song covers are as brilliant as ever, which probably majority would be appealing to Broadway fans, but it still caters to folks with an ear for both retro and latest music.

Nonetheless, I look forward to more of the creative mash-ups coming soon. And the growth of a new glee club has put new dimension to the idea of show choir competition as New Directions take on another journey towards the very much coveted Nationals win. And all this right in the middle of high school dilemmas ranging from high school political race, musical auditions and very interesting relationship developments among the Glee Club members. A very must-see season for every Gleeks at heart!… Expand

    I'm a teenage girl who hates this show, so that stereotype is not true. They have good singing voices but everything else sucks. I don't get the hype. I like Raising Hope (the show on after this) better.

This is the best show I've seen in years, and has finally matured into an excellent series. Not one episode has disappointed me this year, and I feel like the music has gotten better in the choices they make and the method of performing, (the "auto-tuning" I thought I heard in the first and a bit of the second season seems totally absent now, but maybe I was hearing things in the first place). The mid-season finale was superb and completely shocking. I can't wait for more.… Expand

    Glee is finally back to what made this show really popular and good! The show is back with really good storylines, continuity, great acting and less music to concentrate on the storylines! :D

Come on, it is already season 3. it should have been taken to a new heights considering some of them are leaving the show this season. the writers could have done more with the show. it would have been great to see the club being successful and tackling bigger issue other than the sue sylvester and no people joining the club. i love the show back then but if the show keep on being like this, my interest will just sink bit by bit until zero left.… Expand

    Glee season three has great guest actors, but is rarely funny anymore, rarely inspiring, rarely moving, rarely good. Glee is no longer the show people fell in love with. Glee season three is awful.

    Let's face it, Glee has become a phenomenon. Not only does it have many fans who love it, Glee seems to have just as many folks who despise the show's popularity. Whether or not you agree that Glee deserves the praise it gets (I most certainly think it does), no one can deny that Ryan Murphy has created something that will be remembered for years to come.

    An undeniably awful piece of trash that relies on the same plot lines every season. Thank God the ratings are bombing so there is yet another excuse to cancel this abomination.

    I must say that this is certainly not the best season of Glee, seasons 1 and 2 are way better than this one. The scenes in this show are way too silly and ridiculous. Their acting performance is average. But I really liked their songs and their singing performances. I give them credit just to the singing but not to the overall presentation.

    So bad that I can laugh at how bad it is. This review is better written than the scripts for the show. Everything is so transparent and stereotyped and ridiculous. I can't believe it's still on television.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was a fan of the show during its first season. At first glance it seemed like all the stereotypes of all the characters were skin deep, and as you moved further down the season, you go to see them grow and evolve. The teenager characters were ideally meant for kids, while the music director (Will), his wife, the counselor, and the gym coach were there to give a different more "adult" perspective.

    After season 1, though, as with a lot of shows, the creators obviously ran out of ideas. They have reused old gags and storylines again and again, merely replacing the obstacle between Will and the counselor with a new spouse. Sue remains the arch-nemesis intent on destroying the Glee club (and each time failing), without growing as a person. The low point being how "she was evolving" after the death of her sister...

    Season 3, I had hoped would get better after they promised a re-haul and move back to old storylines that made the original series great. After the first episode with a highly judgmental and unlikable Will, I wasn't too convinced. Four episodes in, most of the characters are one note, redundant, and doomed to never learn anything. Compared to their first season counterparts, they are spoiled and feel more like the cartoon canvases, without actually being funny.

    The marked decline in ratings is a testament to this series failure to entertain.    … Expand

    I don't like Finchel like everybody do, the 03x22 was good and I knew that the season 4 will be focused in Rachel. She's the best character in Glee, yes, she is, but everybody should have a story and a song. Ryan Murphy should know that.    … Expand

    Oh the frustration I had when I watched season 3 of Glee. It was just a big dysfunctional mess. The plot was a hot mess, and the characters changed so much. Since when did Kurt stop being Mercedes BFF? The only A+ episode was "Asian F." But besides that episode, the season was mess.

    Daring to play with viewers' emotions repeatedly, the third season of Glee prove to be a mess of epic proportions, making it hard for anyone to truly enjoy.
