I guess my main beef with it was it felt like the third or fourth episode of a new series, instead of the pilot; like we were supposed to already know the characters and care about them and the "huge" decisions they were making. There just seemed to be something missing from the entire show that way (case in point: the teacher suddenly heading the Glee club then having a child then being nostalgic about his "good ol' days", all within a span of 20-30 minutes), and it kind of turned me off.

All that being said, I'll give it a few more episodes, mostly because I need something to watch this Fall, but also because I'm a big drama/choir nerd, so I have a feeling I'll warm to it eventually.
