      Technically, the first "regionals" was in Season 2's fake clip show when the head of the barbershop class(?) tells Jeff "Nice job, Mr. Winger. Somebody's going to regionals." (Quote may be wrong, but he definitely said 'regionals'.)

      Community, Galavant, some of the greatest shows to grace the silver screen, are so underrated and get cancelled due to low ratings. :/ Glee had potential but for some reason they had to try and squeeze every social justice issue into their plots instead of making it more character driven.

    • @musicaltheatergeek79
      @musicaltheatergeek79 Před 6 lety +10

      The first 13 episodes of GLEE, which ends with them winning sectionals, Sue being suspended, Will being reinstated as director of New Directions, Will ditching his wife, and Emma and her fiance calling off their engagement, were perfect television. And it ended nicely, too. Then the show went on hiatus in December 2009 for the winter break, and in that time, the show became a phenomenon. The soundtrack of the first half of the season also became an instant bestseller. I think all of that influenced the second half of the first season and what came afterward, because when Season One resumed in April 2010, it was another animal entirely. Suddenly, there were too many fantasy song sequences and episodes devoted entirely to an artist's discography for no reason other than to sell more albums of their covers. That's when it died for me and I stopped watching. But to this day I still watch the first half of the first season, which could've/should've been a movie of its own.

  • @SirEriol
    @SirEriol Před 3 lety +65

    Fun fact: As competitions, regionals are the second level, sectionals come first.
    However, Taran Killam says later that "if we win regionals, then it's straight up to sectionals", implying that they haven't won anything at all. Sure, it's the nonesense of it all, but that means everytime they say "we are THIS CLOSE to regionals", they are saying "we are THIS CLOSE to signing up by filling and sending the application".
