In 2009, the most unhinged high school drama show was released. “Glee” ran six seasons and over 100 episodes, ending in 2015. But creator Ryan Murphy announced a finished script for a revival, with 10 original members slated to potentially return for a continuation.

Somehow, Murphy and co. thought bringing back the world of “Glee” is just what the fans wanted.

Since 2009, three of the main cast members have tragically passed away, two of which were beloved characters within the show, Cory Monteith as Finn Hudson, the idiotic star quarterback and Naya Rivera as Santana, the bitchy cheerleader.

Fans of the show enjoyed the first three seasons with the main focus being Rachel Berry, played by Lea Michelle, being psychotic about her place in Glee Club, Quinn Fabray giving birth during Regionals while an opposing glee club sang “Bohemian Rhapsody” and the continuous performances of “Don’t Stop Believing” throughout the first few seasons.

However, once the main cast graduated and moved away, drifting to a new generation of the glee club, fans drifted away from caring about the show’s insane plot lines and covers that were sometimes better than the originals. Following Rachel Berry and the rest of the older members of the club towards the real world wasn’t as enjoyable as watching them all together in Ohio.

And that’s the problem with the reboot.

While nothing has been revealed for the pilot or the show’s plot, the inclusion of part of the original cast gives the impression they’ll be the teachers in the new show. Or, it’ll follow their lives as adults. It’ll basically just be a continuation of the show 11 years after the fact if that’s the case.

Now, the original show did have a future scene as part of the finale episode so, the character’s trajectories have already been spelled out which should have made writing a reboot script easier if anything.

It’s Ryan Murphy, though, so nothing will make sense I assume.

Not all the Day One New Directioners have been contacted for this reboot, however, as Chris Colfer, who played Kurt Hummel has not been reached out to. Colfer was one of the cast members to receive one of their 10 awards during the show’s original run, so leaving him off the callback sheet wasn’t the best choice by production.

Murphy didn’t leave the original show with many friends from the cast as it’s publicly known that he and Dianna Agron, the actress who played Queen Bee Quinn Fabray, didn’t get along. During the show’s run, Agron only had six solos throughout her six seasons, four of which came in season one.

To put that into perspective, Lea Michelle had 46 solos during the run and Darren Criss, who played Blaine Anderson from season two until the end of the show’s run, had 30.

Unless Murphy can make amends with a majority of the cast, this show will be a dumpster fire, much like all the other “older” rebooted shows, like the rebooted “Victorious” show, “Hollywood Arts.”

Granted, there are some people who are, for whatever reason, overjoyed with this reboot in the works. I, however, can only see this as being a trainwreck and a disgrace to the original source material.

With how different the world is since the original aired, there won’t be a way to make it as funny and insensitive as it once was. The f-slur was outwardly used multiple times in the show, namely by Finn Hudson and there were so many insensitive and out-of-left-field insults by both cheer coaches, namely Jane Lynch’s Sue Sylvester.

As long as they don’t screw up the iconic and banterous relationship between Matthew Morrison’s Will Schuester, the glee club coach, and Sue Sylvester, the cheer coach, I’ll refrain from sending Murphy to an (inactive) crack house.

And that’s how Allie C’s it!
