Here, let me sum up Glee for you based on what I've gathered from viewers:

It's basically a show about all the things everybody hated about high school.

Yeah, uh. No thanks. There are better things to watch.

(Also, while most of the music's been pretty good, this mash-up of Bon Jovi's It's My Life and Usher's Confessions is LOLariously horrible. Who the hell came up with this?)

My theory is that it is popular because it is different from the rest of the TV on networks. We are so attuned to how formulaic everything else is, that when something that is so wildly different from what we are accustomed to comes along we either praise it out of high hell or hate it, and Glee is accessible enough to win the high praise as opposed to immediate cancellation.
