Glee follows a determined high school teacher’s attempts to revive his school’s defunct Glee Club with a rag-tag group of underdogs. But the conniving, territorial coach of the cheerleading squad stands in his way, dead-set on enforcing the school’s rigid social hierarchy. Relationships are tested and formed in between rockin’ musical numbers.
Parents should be aware that this is an edgy teen show filled with adult themes. Simulated sex scenes are usually left to the adults on the show, but sexual situations between the teens are dealt in frank and explicit ways. For instance, there is a running joke that the main jock love-interest, Finn, has a problem with premature ejaculation. In fact, he is lead to believe that he impregnated his girlfriend this way when they were making out in a hot tub. She happens to be the president of the celibacy club who, unbeknownst to Finn, has slept with his best friend. There are also occasional veiled references to. One boy has recently come out of the closet and there are many homophobic jokes made at his expense. Language is relatively tame. Words like “hell,” “crap” and “damn” are occasionally used. Violence is not a problem for the program.
Glee is not recommended for viewers under age 16.
