Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, but don't expect any glee at Thanksgiving.
Sources confirm that the cast of Fox's hit series Glee will not take part in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which airs next month on NBC.
Tamara Conniff: "Glee" Goes Mobile
While you can follow Glee on Twitter, the show has taken it a step farther -- fans can pick up their phones and leave messages and possibly even talk to the actors in character.

A lot of adult GLEE fans are losing steam. The present adult storylines are boring, ill-conceived, endless, idiotic and wearing out some paper-thin characters.
QUICK! Let's get the spotlight back on the young characters, who are learning, discovering, screwing up, and finding success.
Throwing a bunch of pop tunes for pre-recorded playback by young kids is NOT what hooked me in the beginning. Too bad if Ryan and the gang can't keep it fresh and smart.
Hey, business is business. Why hype the competition?
NBC... its Nothing But Crap.
nbc ought to be ashamed of themselves. . why dont they tie a string to that gasbag jay leno and float him past macys? he's perfect for thanksgivn
but maybe thats why NBC stands for NOBodyCare
Who watches that crap
I'm sorry, but I didn't realize anyone actually sat and watched the *parade* anymore.
Glee is awesome...
Why would you expect a show filled with musical numbers on Broadway???
Nice observation
OK Fox--have an alternate Thankgiving Day hour and a half long show featuring Glee and some of the talent from Idol etc--bring them to a Thanksgiving Parade in Middle America--C
thats a snub by NBC.. they are jealous of the show.. GLEE.. i love the show.. the best show on television ..
yup, i have all the episodes recorded on Tivo and on my back-up drive :)
im not super into this show... idk why
http://www
Does it matter, not like anyone watches NBC anyways. Its position as 4th is pretty much permanent now, CBS/ABC can switch 1/2, and Fox will be 3rd as long as it can milk house and idol, thus enjoy the 4th spot NBC, and congrats on passing up on LOST, and then subsequently 4 years later trying to pass Crusoe as the next LOST. El oh el, how the might have fallen, even Seinfeld couldn't bring NBC out of the abyss. Ok maybe the last sentence isn't true, Seinfeld can even make a junkyard like NBC look amazing.
The Nothing But Crap network no longer seems to even pretend it's a player. It turns over 5 hours of prime time to a guy who was an okay standup comic 25 years ago, renews it's only decent dramas "Friday Night Lights" and "Southland" only to turn its broadcast of "FNL" into Direct TV reruns, and then cancels "Southland" without having aired a single new episode.
If we could just get "The Office" and "30 Rock" to HBO, there would be no reason to even keep the "network" afloat. Since they seem to be downscaling with the hope that Comcast or someone will be stupid enough to buy them, they have become one of those American institutions that once stood for something, but now whose value is simply what it's parts may be sold off for.
"Glee" rocks. NBC sucks. Not that NBC doesn't already know it.
Sorry to hear about this, but it doesn't come as a surprise.
Count your blessings. The show is unwatchable.
It's saccharin doused in syrup coated in sugar and infused in corn syrup.
Then neither TimLB nor you have ever taken the time to watch.
The show is a blast. Lighten up.
I'm with you. Anyone who does not LOVE that show was never a theater-geek or show choir-geek in high school. The numbers are great. And the episode where the gay kid came out to his father had me in tears.
A little "sweet" is good for you. Boo to NBC.
Might just be a little pushback from networks not allowing their shows' starts from appearing on Leno - but Fox doesn't compete at 10 p.m. Can't Glee still be in the parade? Maybe the CBS broadcast? I realize NBC needs to kill time and fills with various production numbers before the parade gets to 34th Street - but man. Seems kind of Grinchy. I would love to see the producers use this as fodder for an episode.
I can't wait to see NBC trot out the Dancing Itos or some of their lame America's Got Talent acts instead.
