Glee's Audience Keeps Tumbling Down: Is There Any Way Back Up?

A friend was talking to me the other day about Glee. Yes, that TV show that used to have 10 million plus audiences in the USA alone. That show where one of the most popular characters died a tragic death. Another season of that show ended just last week, and the closing episode apparently scored another new low in audience ratings. And after next season, it's been decided that it's all coming to an end.

Many people have written the show off entirely by now. But not me. You see, there's always a way back up.

I suggest that they look at returning some of the cast that stopped appearing in the middle of last season. In particular the character Marley (played by Melissa Benoist). It's the best character Glee has ever had, in my opinion. Unlike most others on the show, she's actually inspiring. That's probably because she isn't selfish, annoying, and sometimes borderline immoral like many other Glee characters. It's something you can actually identify with, I would say.

Not to mention how she has a great relationship with her mother. Great family relationships should always be celebrated as an important part of our culture, I believe!
