Glee should’ve just ended at Season 3. There,I said it and I meant it, and for a majority of the people who have watched the new season, I know somewhere throughout this wide world of ours your heads are nodding. This show has become a complete train-wreck.

I’ll admit it, I never have been a hardcore fan of Glee, or “Gleek” as most people might put it, but I have been watching since the beginning. As a drama and theater junkie I found Glee to actually be relatable and clever, and so did the rest of world it seems like. Who didn’t relate to the underdogs, and more importantly, who didn’t root for them. We followed them through those awkward teen years filled with crushes, breakups, and car-crashes-where-a-mere-five episodes-later-you-completely-recover-from. And then we hit graduation.

For those of you that were under a rock at the time, Glee faced alot of questions. When graduation generally hits a television show the plot normally goes one of two ways, they either bring in new people to clear up the memories of the old ones or focus on the older members while trying to interject new characters. Glee was different in the fact that the cast members and writers remained divided on how to handle the split. The natural storyline of the show being centered around high school numbers had reached a conclusion, so they either needed to milk it or throw the newbies out.

When Glee announced after a tense 2 or so months that all of the original graduates were going to be back, I for one was curious to see how they were going handle it. And Glee decided to choose a split focus, something that isn’t done too often on t.v. shows. When the current season premiered, I was relatively surprised at how well they handled it. Now being almost towards the end of the season, it’s clear to mainly anyone how this show has jumped the shark. And if the view’s a little bit hazy on your side, let’s add some clarity to your day.

Not right away! The fifth season is important because the first 12 episodes of that season should celebrate this show's 100th episode!

Ever since it’s inception four years ago, Glee has success has been fairly inconsistent, much like its writing. Back in season two, songs would regularly top the iTunes chart and the episodes would pull in over ten million viewers. Nowadays, tracks are lucky to break the top 100 on iTunes, and the episodes average about six million viewers. For a show that once defined popular culture, that’s a steep drop.

A lot of things can be credited to this sharp decline in popularity, something which this article aims to get to the bottom of. It seems more people are now criticising Glee, rather than praising it. It still tackles the same issues and structurally, it hasn’t changed all that much. But somewhere along the lines, it lost the true essence of the show that made it the pop culture phenomenon it once was.
