Disabilities and Glee

Smith was extremely harsh in his review of the "Wheels" episode on Glee. I understand that Glee was trying to bring disability into an episode to bring light on the topic, however, I don't think that Glee was trying to have some sort of life changing episode that would change the world forever. I know someone with a disability is nothing to take lightly, but I almost feel as if Smith sees this episode as if EVERYONE in the world was watching and HAD to watch it because it would effect out lives. Where as the truth is (as seen by how no one in class watches Glee) not everyone in the world saw this episode. I think Glee was just trying to provide entertainment to its audience just like any other show and was trying to gain viewers. I think the moral of the episode was more about all of them coming together to help out their classmate rather than dealing with someone who had a disability.
