Is 'Glee' getting glum?

What looked to be the shining star of the new TV season seems to be going a little off-key.

If you, like me, watched the pilot episode of "Glee" more than once and the final few minutes (the "Don't Stop Believin' " finale) a lot more than that, are you as disappointed as I am in the show now? The songs keep getting duller (last night's cheerleading take on "You Keep me Hangin' On" was a real yawner) and there's too much time spent on Will and his vapid wife. Maybe the show is grasping for too broad an audience. Trying to hook teens, their parents and musical-theater fanatics all at once is probably too much. Anyone else out there feeling a little less likely to make this one a must-Tivo from now on?
