The whole "Acafellas" plot was hokey and contrived (one minute they're singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow", then, bang, they're rehearsing). And the football coach and woodshop teacher miraculously both turn out to have great voices? It's too much to ask us to suspend disbelief like that. Meanwhile, the actual glee club stuff was a little better. I like the fact that the show is focusing on other characters, but the way Mercedes and Kurt's relationship was handled was terrible. Amber Riley's perfomance of "Bust Your Windows" was excellent, but I thought this show was supposed to not do things like that. I seem to remember some of the cast and crew saying things like "people don't just burst into song". What happened to that? The scene with the choreographer was fairly amusing, as was the Josh Groban cameo. And there were some nifty one liners. But overall, I thought this episode was lousy. Grade C+<br /><br />And where was Jane Lynch? She was on screen for only a few minutes this week. Message to Fox: when you have an actress as talented as Lynch, use her.G1000noreply@blogger.com
