That's true.  Could someone explain why they make all of them sound like Journey?

It would at least have a chance at going somewhere near my musical preferences.  Journey and Britney Spears' music aren't my thing.

Ahh...I guess I see where you are going with it. My point was just that the plots of the show and the show itself is lame (in my opinion) and if the cast were all black the plots and basic structure of the show would still be the same (lame).

It's official - law school kills your funny bone :)

Watch Archer or Arrested Development or 30 Rock or Futurama or Modern Family or It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia or How I Met Your Mother or Frasier or The Office (take your pick) or Extras or Daria or The Simpsons or Flight of the Concords or I Love Lucy or Seinfeld or M*A*S*H or Soap or Weeds or Glee.  Especially watch Arrested Development and Archer.

Granted, some of those (like Extras or Flight of the Concords) I've only seen one or two times, but there are plenty of hilarious shows out there.  But not only is BBT not among them, but the above is a list of really funny shows.  In order to give you a list of shows that are merely funnier than BBT I could include Martin, That 70's Show, Scrubs, Family Guy, Everybody Loves Raymond, Small Wonder, Roc, Friends, Just Shoot Me, Spin City, Home Improvement, Fresh Prince, Saved By the Bell, or pretty much anything.  Some of this list is actually terrible, but even so it's better than BBT.

I literally think that BBT is worst show I have ever seen.  I would rather watch Sweet Life on Deck or Hannah Montana.  The laugh track is essential to BBT because otherwise you would have no idea what you are supposed to laugh at.  Clearly to each his own, but I can't even wrap my head around that one.  As much as I think Home Improvement or That 70's Show are horrible, I can at least see how some people think they're funny.  But BBT is a mystery to me.  I watch it with a giant WTF? hanging over my head throughout the entire episode.

After a while it felt like a slap in the face to thousands of kids that could pull off those songs live.

They sing all their own songs before filming and lipsync during filming both because of a very short production schedule and because they are doing things on camera that nobody could do while maintaining the song properly.  Nobody can be singing at the top of their longs and get thrown into a dumpster without having it affect the song.  But they also tour and do concerts and I think most of them come from Broadway.  They can all sing extremely well.  I mean, of course.  It's not like the producers just cast their kids in it.  They presumably did a casting call and tryouts and scouted for talent, etc.  It's not like the stars of Glee are models or something. 

Also, that kid didn't get thrown off the football team for saying something insensitive.  He got thrown off the football team because the Coach was being tormented relentlessly by other members of the staff and she snapped.  Anyway, the team had only ever won a single game.  Ever.  And she had just come in to replace the old coach.  So, honestly, I think even in real life the new coach wouldn't be that concerned about canning her starting quarterback.  It's not like he did anything.

Being as I have experience working with studio equipment and recording,  it is very easy for me to spot autocorrecting and that show definitely reeks of it. The autocorrecting is so obvious. Now when I say autocorrect (or autotune) I am not referring to the way that rappers use it to sound robotic. But most studios use autocorrect these days so that they only need one take..it makes the voices sound unnaturally perfect. If you overdo the effect, that is when you get the robotic sound.

Anyhow point is...it is painfully obvious in Glee. But then again it is also painfully obvious in most pop songs that are prerecorded. I don't think most pop "artists" know how to sing these days. The record companies just need a pretty face and autocorrect and its a hit. Now don't get me wrong, there are a few here and there that I think genuinely can sing..but there are a whole lot of them riding on the coat of autocorrect. Ke$ha is one of them.
