The producers have done a great job casting actors this year (Chord and Darren)-so even though I will miss the original cast I will still continue to watch. I hope that Ryan can bring these characters back for guest spots to catch the audience up to what is going on in their lives.

I don't think I'll keep watching when they graduate, but you never know. Everyone in New Directions are juniors, right, so maybe Ryan Murphy should bring in someone younger next season, so they'll overlap a little.

New cast members would be a breath of fresh air after three or four years of the originals but we all know that shows are never the same after either the format or casts have changed. It will be inevitable that ratings will drop once the original members have left.
I for one will keep watching as I love the show and the music.

Even if they went to college, they can't stay there forever. So...I'm fine with it.

I would love to see if Ryan Murphy would try to let them start a Glee club in college. most colleges have a glee club anyway, so why not continue the show there?

hmm i think the show will go downhill once character like finn and rachel (my favs) will leave.

why not xomeg15, Glee at the university would be great. Other shows have moved forward college like Beverly Hills, Gossip Girl. Even though it changes the settings, at least we still have the same characters and actors.

Probably, as long as they are well written characters. And the storylines are still funny and the songs are good. And people can come back and do guest spots too. What else are they expected to do?? Glee University?

I don't like this at all. Why can't they move on to college and have a glee club there as well? The main reason I watch GLEE is b/c I love the characters, especially Kurt. I don't think it would work with a complete new cast. You can't really compare this to SKINS, that's a complete different show.

The pilot/first episode was such a hit due to Lea Michele. I know she's not listed above everybody else, but it's her show. I suppose Murphy wishes it weren't (I like Kurt, but it really isn't Kurt's show).
Anyhow, the ratings will probably kill the show off before Lea leaves. I'll miss it!

It depends how good they are.
i think they may have finn and brittany fail a couple of times. and maybe (WHEN (I don't care about if's) rachel and finn get back together) she realises how much finn really means and fails on purpose to stay with him
and have some turn into teachers at the school and then help with glee and still sing and all that.
I'm going to miss lea michele most I think --- how long do you reckon it'll be till they go though?

I guess we could keep brittany at least for 1 or 2 more years....i dont know how she would graduate on time

I really hope the format works out. And it is realistic how life really is.
Also, I love the cast and appreciate Lea, Amber, Chris and Dianna's voices. But I would be fine for new blood. Especially with Lea. Her voice is AMAZING...but her character really annoys me and I hate having her sing like most of the major songs.

i think it's great!! we all know that in real life nobody stays in high school for 10 years (so sad if you did!). I'm personally completely over Lea Michele. I can't wait to see new characters!! and the current cast will still probably make cameos every once in a while

I watch for the character I love (mainly Rachel and a little Puck). I don't watch the show for the concept or whatever RM thinks it is. So when Lea will be gone, I won't watch it anymore. That's the way it is!
As a viewer, I think the characters are the most important part of a show, if the writers/producers don't get that, they are living on their own planet and should reconnect with the reality

Once Lea Michele is gone... I don't think i will watch anymore. Lea is the reason why i watch Glee!

the characters are the reason I love this show.
I think that they should make the entire glee club go to high school for another year because they all fail in school or something..

There is no other way to do it, since they will have to graduate eventually. I think its sad for the cast now, becuase in 2 years they will have to find a new job. I will hate to see Lea and Heather go most of all.

I'm sorry but Cory Monteith might as well have a bald spot...
Am I the only one bothered by the fact that he's 28 years old and playing a 17-year-old high school student? As much as I adore Finn I think it's pretty insane.

In the UK a hugely popular show called 'Skins' follows the same approach. Every two years the entire cast is replaced, and it works brilliantly!

I can understand why he would do this and can respect his decision but in all honesty once Lea goes I probably will too (unless Sue is in EVERY episode). I love some of the other kids (Kurt, Mercades, Brittany and Artie) but without Lea the show will be nothing.

Bravo Ryan Murphy! This absolutely the correct way to do this.
This is real life, kids graduate and new freshman come in. You can't keep the same glee club for longer than 4 years. This is the best way to have a long running show in high school. The key is graduate a few every year so its not like "Saved by the Bell" the new class where all of a sudden the whole group is different.
Rachel: You're so talented, Santana. You're like the most talented person I know, obviously with the exception of me and Kurt, but your voice, it's electric!
