'Glee' Creator Floats a Parting Shot at NBC

GleeThe creator of "Glee" is firing back at NBC for booting his show's float from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade -- dissing them for dissing him.

Ryan Murphy tells EW: "I completely understand NBC's position, and look forward to seeing a Jay Leno float."

As TMZ first reported, Macy's invited the FOX show's cast to the parade -- but when rival NBC, the network airing the parade, found out ... they kicked the "Glee" people to the curb faster than a geek from the cool kid's table.

2. Sorry to be a snark, but there's no holiday called "Macy's Day." I believe you're thinking of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

9. NBC goofed up. The Parade belongs to Macy's, not the Network and NBC should not have been allowed to determine who would participate. Are they going to kick everyone off who might or might not be a competitor? It's gonna wind up being a small parade if thy do.

12. The liberal fascists ,led by the Obama White House,are boycotting Fox.
Makes sense NBC (censors news- cough) is aboard since they are owned by GE which is being funded by the gov't

13. I agree with change 2010 - I do not watch Glee but I think if Macy said they could be part of Thanksgiving, then NBC should close their mouth. I do not like GE anyway because they are part of the Obama White House. Yes I watch Fox. My husband was in the military for 30 years and that is why I am upset. It is taking him (Obama) to make up his mine to follow the Commanders on the ground - while our families are getting killed. Stop making a fuss over people who do not agree with you and get with the job. NBC, is that why Fox beats eveyone??????

14. To Change 2010,

You've clearly never watched Glee. It's about the most Liberal show on Television. It's racially diverse, there is a prominant gay character, a love triangle in which you care more about the potential mistress than the wife, and the songs chosen are wonderfully inappropriate for a high school show choir. There is virtually no reason for a liberal boycott of the show that would lead to NBC's decision to oust the show from the parade. If you're speaking in regards to Fox News than I suggest you go pitch a fit on the MSNBC website because you're wasting the time of those of us who just want some good old fashion, pointless celebrity gossip!
