I actually preferred it when the Glee club was this low budget production. Do you guys remember their first song/dance number? Shuffling around in the classroom while one person pushed Artie around.I thought that stuff was great. So were the storylines about how the Glee club was a lot poorer compared to other schools, couldn't pay for a special bus to accommodate wheel chairs, didn't have the money to compete on the same level costume/production wise as Vocal Adrenaline, etc.
And now there are these crazy ass elaborate numbers where they're not even trying to ground it in reality. Like I said, it's like a cartoon show.
