About a year ago, a random blog post of mine got about 75 notes, which is uncommon for just about anything I’ve ever posted. When I looked at the notes, it was the same two usernames going back and forth having a conversation.

Eventually, curiosity killed the cat, and I really had to see what could be so important they would have the conversation on someone else’s post. As I read through their conversation, the names Rachel, Quinn, Puck, Finn and Santana all came up within the first 10 lines.

These girls were literally pretending to be the “Glee” girls, and this is just the peak of the “Glee” obsession I’ve seen on and offline. I don’t mean to sound judgmental because, as much as I want to hate the show, I’ve seen most episodes, and I revealed my unnatural love for a TV show in my column last week.

There are a plethora of reasons behind “Glee’s” success. On top of that list is the fact that the show, in some way or another, tries to speak to everyone in its demographic. It started out as a show about outcasts, geared towards outcasts. While many shows have attempted to do this, none have done it quite as well as “Glee” did.

Every character in the show serves a purpose, and usually that purpose is that someone, somewhere will relate to them. During its first season, I didn’t watch the show, mostly because I would never classify myself as a person who would enjoy musicals. However, after a lot of praise from friends, I decided to give it a try. I didn’t really like it. As good as the show is, I didn’t find any character relatable and after months of hearing about how great the show was because it was relatable, it was a serious letdown.

But, I’m easily persuaded by my curiosity. The continued love for the show, and the fact that it was on Netflix, led me to watch it again. I slowly realized that the show, at least the first and second seasons, is actually pretty good for other reasons.

First of all, the acting is very good. Lea Michele (Rachel Berry) has been on Broadway since 1995. Jane Lynch is Jane Lynch. And although many of the other cast members are newcomers, most found their footing quickly and have been cast in big-budget movies. In television, you could have the most well-written show, but terrible actors easily ruin it. The same is true for the opposite: Great actors can make a show great.

Also, for a group of people playing their school’s outcasts, the majority of the cast is very attractive. When Michele, Dianna Agron (Quinn Fabray) and Cory Monteith showed up in a sexy GQ photo shoot, they looked a lot more like sex icons than the singing and dancing kids from “Glee.”

Secondly, as much as I expected to hate the singing and dancing aspect of the show, all of the actors have voices that are insane. I can think of a few instances where I prefer the “Glee” version of a song to the original. On top of that list is Lea Michele’s rendition of “Firework” by Katy Perry.

I’ve noticed since that the first season, “Glee” has started to lose steam. During its first and second season, the show took home the Golden Globe for Best Television Show – Comedy or Musical (side note: That’s a stupid category. Comedy has nothing to do with musicals, and “The Big Bang Theory” should have won this award both years). The latest season, the show’s quality has dropped off a lot, and the network announced it will bring in a mostly new cast next year after the other characters graduate.

In my opinion, there aren’t a lot of places to take a new cast that wouldn’t be redoing what they did with the original. I understand that the fan base for “Glee” is not going anywhere, but the worst television shows are the ones that don’t know when to quit.
