Quick Change-Ups 2

My first Quick Change-Ups has generated 906 pageviews (and counting)--a manifestation that people are interested in these change-ups regardless of how trivial they may seem. This "motivated" me to be more mindful of change-ups in the shows I watch. And because I have been watching Glee for a considerable (and inexplicable) amount of time, I bring you change-ups a la Glee.

(1) Rachel's Gay Dads: 



From an inter-racial couple, Rachel's dads were changed to an older, more conventional-looking couple, Hiram and Leroy Berry (played by Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stoke Mitchell).

(2) Random Guy No. 1:

From Titan to Warbler
In season 2, this boy is a Titan (WMHS' mascot?), sitting at Miss Holiday's class with Finn and Puck, but in season 3, he's now one of Sebastian's minions a Warbler (Dalton).

(3) Random Guy No. 2:

From a soulless automaton to a Shark

In season 1, Random Guy No. 2 was part of Jesse's gang of soulless automatons Vocal Adrenaline while in Season 3, he joined Santana and Puck as Sharks in WMHS's West Side Story.


In the first change-up, I believe it was a good decision because Rachel's dads need to look established and... fatherly. I felt the fatherly vibe more with Hiram and Leroy compared to Season 1's fun, quirky inter-racial dads.

In the second and third change-ups, I couldn't care less about these random guys. They may have transferred schools. Or Glee has ran out of extras and dancers so they use the same guys hoping that viewers won't be bored enough to notice these little things.

Fun Fact: Random Guy No. 2 is Nick Drago from the reality show Step It Up & Dance.
