'Glee' Cast Dumped from Macy's Parade

Posted Oct 12th 2009 1:52PM by TMZ Staff

GleeThe hit FOX show "Glee" is chorus non grata at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade ... and we've learned NBC is behind it all.

The network that can't produce a hit to save its life -- at least this year -- has banned the cast of "Glee" from appearing at the Parade that airs on NBC.

Sources tell us Macy's invited the "Glee" cast -- the deal was all but signed -- but when rival NBC found out, they told the department store to pull the plug.

A rep for FOX declined to comment. NBC could not be reached. Macy's didn't get back to us.

7. Fox is usually the one that sucks for cancelling good shows before giving them a real fighting chance but this move by NBC is just pathetic.

9. Shame on NBC! I realize that it's a ratings war out there, but Glee is one of the best programs on television, and the fact that the cast sings and dances is a boost to the usual crap that is performed on the floats.

10. Your wrong....NBC has one show worth watching....HEROES is a good show and Chuck was a good one that they quit this year, just remember that NBC quit Baywatch one year before it became the most watch show in the world. So I'd say they can produce good/great shows but drop the ball on when to keep the show on the air.

12. Chuck is not dead it is coming back. Either in 2 weeks or March.

13. NBC is just jealous because FOX is destroying them in the ratings and calls them out on all their BS. This move only hurts NBC further. They need to get over it and do what's right for their network or continue on their current path to destruction!

14. @ Eric in Indiana - I thought they were bringing Chuck back!?!?!?

Heroes USED to be good - it seems the writers have lost their way...just like LOST on ABC (who canceled Eli Stone, asses). Rumor is this could be Heroes last hurrah - ratings are way down.

Love Glee, networks need to stop playing politics and remember that even though it's not your show people will watch the parade on YOUR network just to see these people! Stupid mistake on NBC's part!
