Even Sesame Street Wants to Poke Fun at Glee

The season opener of Glee might have been a vast improvement over season two, but even childhood touchstone Sesame Street did a light parody of the show. Puppets can be so cruel.

Last night Fox tried to indoctrinate the half-drunk, post-Super Bowl audience with a random grab bag of jazz hands and pop confections called Glee. We hope they tuned in to have some of their questions about this phenomenon answered, but there is one question that Glee can't seem to answer these days: Why?
Now that we have assessed the Glee finale in the sober light of morning, we are happy to report that it was a near-perfect masterpiece. Let us recount its many memorable moments together. And maybe cry all over again.
In warfare, having the psychological advantage is often more important than having a tactical edge. That's the lesson we learned when everyone on Glee worked through their depression by destroying each other. And singing! It was glorious.
Is there one girl on Glee who is not a slut? Mercedes, Santana, Brittany, Rachel—they were all fighting for the attention of men last night. At least it gave them some pretty things to sing about.
Not surprisingly, nothing really happened on tonight's Puck-centric version of Glee. The kids were told to find a song that represented themselves, and as we've said before, Jane Lynch only needed a two minute scene to steal the show.
We have watched the much-ballyhooed all-Madonna hour and we were not unchanged. Neither were the virgins and lovable losers in New Directions. Let's wallow in the afterglow before moving on with our lives, if we can.

The SNL vet has signed on to play a boozy, pill-popping badminton coach who is Sue MF Sylvester's nemesis. Just when we started to doubt we'd survive the winter, Glee gives us another reason to make it until April.
If Glee won a Golden Globe for the first half of this season, what honors are adequate after Sue MF Sylvester sings "Vogue" on the all-Madonna episode? My gay heart just exploded. Awesome, dishy spoilers ahoy.
We just got the music for tomorrow's episode of Glee: "Bootylicious," "True Colors," "Imagine," acoustic "Papa Don't Preach!" I'm dancing and crying at the same time. Wednesday night can't come soon enough. And come back Friday for my recap.
We keep telling you which Halloween costumes to avoid, but we wouldn't be very servicey if we didn't offer up some suggestions, now would we? So, before you hit Halloween Headquarters this weekend, here is a list of Gawker-approved ideas.
