Has Glee Jumped the Shark Yet?

SPOILERS ALERT!

With yet another celebrity coming out to diss Glee, does that mean the show has jumped the shark?

I wouldn't use the phrase "coming out" if I were you, given that the disser was comedian turned antigay wingnut Victoria Jackson.

That said, yes, Glee just may be jumping the shark. And before you accuse me of serving Hatorade you didn't order, hear me out:

First, yes, a lot of stars have been dissing Glee, much to the righteous indignation of both creator guy Ryan Murphy and his massive ego. The list of the unimpressed now includes Jackson, Slash, the Kings of Leon, Dave Grohl, Miley Cyrus and—for a second, anyway—Babs.

Maybe they have reason.

The all-singing, all-dancing and—increasingly—all-preachy show has been showing signs of complacency, if not laziness. Take it away, real live TV historian who would know:

"You have to have a certain degree of reality for any show to work," begins Wesley Hyatt, author of many TV research books including the upcoming Television's Top 100. But instead, Hyatt says, some of the character storylines are getting sloppy, with people changing their motivations or emotions with seemingly no rhyme or reason other to serve a specific episode. Take Sue Sylvester, Hyatt says.
