Couch Potato Chronicles: "Glee" Jumps the Shark

I couldn't have said it better myself.  Look at USA Today's writeup of "Glee" and its meteoric rise and its equally remarkable fall:

What had been a musical comedy with at least one toe dipped in real waters now seems to be an over-produced, overly Auto-Tuned variety show that exists merely to sell downloads of its covers — a modern version of Your Hit Parade.

It was a victim of its own success?  One more thing: the fact that the show kept sucker-punching its conservative/libertarian fans did NOT help.
