I agree. I'm not even excited to watch this show anymore - I still do, but I don't get excited, which is sad. The last two episodes have been the best of the season so far, but still - this show is all over the place. Too many characters, personalities change on a dime, it's not consistent, hard to follow relationships... it's like they learn something on one episode, then trash it the next. I'm still wondering what happened to Artie's legs he got for Christmas last year... that was totally dropped.

I loved the B/W section the first half. If you go to youtube and watch the Judy Garland Christmas Special, it looks to be almost exactly the same set. Blaine and Kurt had a great song and dance act too. Best song of the night. It did start to wear down a little, but overall I thought it was a cute and clever episode. Their Chewbacca was played by Peter Mayhew the real Chewbacca for extra geek cred. Matthew Morrison directed this episode I think, and he really showed a love of his subject matter.

Was Christmas special thing supposed to be bizarre? It was all kind of random with the writing. I was suspecting that they would come to their senses before the special and go to the homeless shelter like they promised Sue first instead they (minus Sam and Quinn) did their special and showed up because the last 10 minutes were cut. They also never addressed the fact the Rachel is Jewish (not counting her saying Happy Hannukah to someone when they were ringing the bell). This season has been a disaster for the most part and I found season 2 largely hit or miss. Did they even address the fact that the group is back together, maybe I didn't pay enough attention last week but I thought they said they wouldn't come back but Rachel invited them to come sing with them at the end. I watch NCIS than the DVR recording of Glee and I forget that I can FF through commericals.

This season is a hot mess. The only part of it I liked was Mercedes telling off Schue and leaving. Amber Riley is the best voice on this show and has been SORELY wasted. Then the Trouble Tones became my favorite thing about the show. And then one day, after ONE LOSS, they just decide to cave in and be background singers for that obnoxious, horribly dressed, rancid bitch again?

No me gusta.

I thought the episode was very funny and the black and white was the best part. It certainly was very polarizing in that many seemed to love it or hate it. I grew up watching those 60's & 70's Christmas specials and many 1960's comedies which IMO they did a great job with parodying in that spoof. I was just waiting for someone to call Kurt and Blaine "confirmed bachelors". I'm also enjoying Season 3 with the exception of a couple of episodes which definitely were quite lacking, but overall I thought most of them have been entertaining. It seems that in 2012 they are going back to the way the show used to be and which the fans seemed to like by having lots of guest stars, a theme episode around one artist, and more current Top 40 songs. I appreciate that they tried to switch things up (but then I also prefer Broadway songs but generally I like most of the music on the show).

    • I'm not sure I agree with Bernstein's children on that. Bernstein's life and activism here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Bernstein#Social_activism_and_humanitarian_efforts
    • Thursday & Friday's episodes were excellent. The build-up was most definitely worth the wait (2 months). TMG, I can't give her enough accolades. AM, was also absolutely incredible. I think the fallout is going to have a ripple effect. The little clues that have been dropped,  hopefully, will weave seamlessly to reveal even bigger bombshells for the Dupree's and Martin.
    • Thanks, msn drives me nuts on the one hand but on the other hand their headlines appeal to me. And, I just don't do FoxNews.   
    • The link doesn't work.  The actual link is this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/composer-leonard-bernstein-s-children-request-his-music-be-played-in-the-kennedy-center-in-rebuke-to-trump/ar-AA1E7gw5 That's a reprint of a FoxNews article. MSN reprints stuff from many sources. You can tell the source from the logo above the headline on the msn page. The FoxNews article is describing what Leonard Bernstein's children wrote -- as a "letter to the editor" of the New York Times. Instead of reading it filtered through FoxNews, here is the original: "Our Dad, Leonard Bernstein, Would Want His Music Played at the Kennedy Center" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/opinion/kennedy-center-leonard-bernstein-protest.html Non-paywall archived copy of the same NYTimes letter, without commentary: https://archive.is/QaLqD
    • Might be a long shot, because I can't find a thing online about it, but I was Googling the actress that played Nell Cleary (Frank's cop friend that went through academy and then became cops together during the entire Brent Lawrence storyline). To my surprise, she passed away in 2011, at the very young age of 45. I can't find her obituary or anything online about her passing, but I'm curious, does anyone know what happened? Her IMDB only shows a few other acting gigs post-Guiding Light, so she didn't make a career out of it, but I thought she was a great actress in her role as Cleary. Her name was Mary Peterson.
    • What was Ruth Martin's association to the Thornton family?  I only remember the daughter that dated Tad, and she had a buxom mother.  But, did Ruth date David Thorton before Joe?

      Why didn't Steve respect Monica and Jeff's decision?  I get he's Jeff's father, and that's how it came out, but I don't like the ethics of the story. A stranger gets to make life or death decisions over a wife's demands?   I hope Monica secretly never forgave Steve's chauvinism.
    • Question: Jon-Michael Reed's review of 1977 is up in the retro soap section.  It includes a fleeting reference to comedic scenes between Jeanne Cooper and Julianna McCarthy regarding “Kay's would-be beau, Ralph the Plumber”.  Could someone please fill me in will more details? I forgot that Kay and Liz were friendly before Jill stole Kay's husband.  And the thought of Liz playing a comedic scene blows my mind, because I only recall her being dour both in demeanor and wardrobe.  
    • I said this on Twitter on Friday when Leslie mentioned Chicago, so perhaps she might be related to one of Anita's bandmates. In addition, Leslie did say she grew up listening to The Articulettes too.
    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
