Would Any Member Of Fleetwood Mac Think Rumours Was Good?

Would Any Member Of Fleetwood Mac Think Rumours Was Good?

This week, Lily, Robbie, and Liz continue to confuse one Midwestern state for another despite being 66% Midwesterners themselves. Also: Kristin Chenoweth is back and immediately going to Broadway, baby! Santana wears two pairs of overalls! Emma washes her grapes offscreen! Wow!

Was There A Good Episode Somewhere In Born This Way?

Was There A Good Episode Somewhere In Born This Way?

This week, neither Lily, Robbie, nor Liz want to be prom queen, and we're the only ones. Also: brief interludes for Broadway musicals and a very nice TNT drama about a comforting therapist. Also: bad hats. It's quite an episode! 90 minutes, baby!

You Tell Me: Was A Night of Neglect Good?

You Tell Me: Was A Night of Neglect Good?

This week, on Glee: a "Night of Neglect" that is somehow both about Glee's obvious and pointed neglect of Mercedes without being about that at all, an anti-Will Schuester club that somehow is not formed exclusively by the makers of this podcast, and Gwyneth Paltrow is STILL HERE, bay-bee. Also, we finally get into a backlog of fan mail and critical Glee news.

Not One Of Us Can Say For Sure Whether Original Song Was Good

Not One Of Us Can Say For Sure Whether Original Song Was Good

We're trying something new this week! It's not original songs, which is what Glee is trying. Unlike original songs, our new thing is cool (we think?). Also new: a sexy bird funeral, a history of pop punk as told by a former thirteen-year-old, and Quinn Fabray Might Be a Person, Briefly.

Was (Sorry to Use This Word But It Is the Episode Title) S*xy Good?

Was (Sorry to Use This Word But It Is the Episode Title) S*xy Good?

This week, on Glee: the goop is BACK, and she’s ready to tell you what sex is. More importantly, she’s ready to dress you up in a wide legged denim and a big white blouse and make you gay with the power of Stevie Nicks. Also: Blaine ruins sex by singing Neon Trees in an abandoned warehouse, Mr. Schue ruins sex by singing a tango version of a Prince song, and Burt Hummel is the only person who knows what sex is.

I Hate To Keep Asking Like This, But Was "Blame It On The Alcohol" Good?

It's Very Special Episode week on Glee! This time: alcohol, and how it's bad. But maybe: fun? Also, Rachel has a very relateable crisis about feeling boring, Blaine worries he might like women but then realizes he doesn't, and we go to a cowboy bar for some reason.

Let's Chat About Comeback. Whether It Was Good, Etc, That Kind Of Thing

Let's Chat About Comeback. Whether It Was Good, Etc, That Kind Of Thing

This week it's Bieber-Fever: Glee style, which is to say only kind of and when they remember. Also: Ryan Murphy's mental health, M.R.A. Artie, and our speculations about Bogey and Bacall's sexting. And could someone please tell us how to pronounce "Dierks."

How Did We Feel About Silly Love Songs? Maybe Good!

How Did We Feel About Silly Love Songs? Maybe Good!

This week on Glee: a Mr. Schue assignment that is both an immoral thing to ask of your teenage students and also completely inconsequential to the actual song choices made in the episode!

Plus: Cory Monteith makes the bold character decision to play an extremely sexual adult man instead of a teen, Kurt and Blaine make us feel real emotions, and a terrible Lauren Zizes plot comes into our homes, removes our brains from our skulls, and drops them right into hell.

The Sue Sylvester Shuffle Was Very Expensive, But Did That Make It Good?

We’re back! Happy new year!!! It's sports night on Was Glee Good?!!!!! We're here with the second-ever post-Super Bowl episode, and we're talkin' football. Mostly about how it’s a bad and dangerous sport and once it made Robbie cry.

A Very Glee Christmas Was Certainly Very... Christmas

A Very Glee Christmas Was Certainly Very... Christmas

This week, dive HEADFIRST into the holiday season with Glee's first-ever Christmas episode. What did Ryan Murphy get us for Christmas? Mostly jokes about Lauren Zizes being fat, honestly. We'd love to trade them in, but they did not come with a gift receipt.
Also: Lily has some hard rules about duets, Will has no boundaries, and we all imagine a very much better Glee Christmas.

Hmmmmm, Was Special Education Good?

Hmmmmm, Was Special Education Good?

We recorded this episode in a spooky cabin in the middle of nowhere and you can tell because it is CHOCK FULL of ghosts: Finn's virginity! Kurt and Rachel's friendship! Mercedes! Our sobriety!
Also: equally dramatic interpretations of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" and Robbie's funeral. This is a fun one, honestly.

Wait, Was Furt Actually Good?

Okay! Was The Substitute Good?

Okay! Was The Substitute Good?

This week, Gwyneth Paltrow is here to call us frigid and let us commit minor felonies and stop all character development whatsoever! Happy Thanksgiving.
Also: a tiny purse falls out of a man's mouth, a joke we used to find funny turns out to be really horrible, Will ruins a classic, and we play a pretty exciting round of the IMDB game.

Quick Question: Was Duets Good?

Quick Question: Was Duets Good?

This week, we're back to the serious business of shouting about how fun it is to sing and be gay! Or at least, how fun it is to watch a show about people singing and coming to terms with the reality of being gay in a suburb of Ohio.
Also: Puck stole an ATM and we don't care, Mercedes continues to be mute except when it's time to sing, and teens should consider the emotional impact that sex might have on them, or whatever.

Audition! Was! A! Nightmare!

Audition! Was! A! Nightmare!

Welcome back to Was Glee Good! We're thrilled to be back for season 2 of this podcast and absolutely miserable to be back for season 2 of Glee, a racist show about horrible people. Did you miss us?
This week, we recap what we can remember of season 1 (very little), address the Mark Salling situation head-on (he's a literal criminal!), and dive headfirst into the hot pile of garbage that is this episode. Tina and Mike have the same name but are also dating! Finn raps about "his" "Dominicanos"! Rachel harasses a student for being Filipino and also having a good voice! None of this is played as satire!
Also: A quick discussion about genre, a quick discussion about Lea Michele's new boyfriend, a quick discussion about Paul McCartney. You're gonna love it.

Also: Will Schuester teaches Kristin Chenoweth how to say "I will never buy a cellphone" in Spanish, Rachel Berry can't bowl but is still emotionally healthier than any other person on this show, and Robbie desperately needs to know how Cool Runnings ends.A heads up: Glee clearly doesn't think that it's statutory rape when an adult woman has sex with a teenage boy.
