Do any other Dads out there watch ‘Glee’ with their kids? I think it’s a fantastic program (it approaches sensitive topics and subject matter is quite an impressive way). Great for the kids and adults as well – and its finally introduced my kids to the hits of our generation! What do you all think?

Watched the first three episodes (reluctantly) and couldn't take anymore!!

Loved the Don't stop Believing song but no, no, no to becoming a regular - sorry!

I remember Fame from the 80s...much better

I'm a huge Gleek I'm afraid. I'm not proud. It's actually a bit embarrassing.......but hey! There you go!

I can't even use the excuse that I watch it with the kids, they are 4 and 2 😀

I watched the first episode and was just hooked from there on in, thankfully my wife loves it so I can 'reluctantly' watch it with her!!

Nice one Super Mario, I LOVE Mondays!!

Footie after work, then home to take over while the wife goes to running club, record Glee and watch it when she gets back.

I tried to watch an episode once.....got five minutes in and felt my brain turning to liquid and begining to drip out of my ear so had to stop watching.

Its kinda like Fame but without the gritty realism 🙄

My 14 yo hormone monster loves it though (I think she is more their demographic than me)

I'm with gooner on this - I'd rather have my eyeballs scooped out with spoons than watch Glee.

Hey Babel

Scooping your eyeballs out with spoons is a little extreme!! Just do what my 13 year does and constantly tut and call me and his mother sad and tell us we are too old to watch it!!!

I have to admit I'm somewhat interested in the show 🙄

There's something quite catchy and light about it.

Welcome back Glee

I have missed you and not only that we get rid of our teenager for an hour to watch it in peace - however I can still hear the tutting from upstairs
