but people seem to like it simply because its been made a new fad by tv....
Or... maybe they like it because they find it entertaining?
I've never understood the tendency for people to say, "I don't like ____, therefore the only reason anybody else could like it is if they're not thinking about the substance of the show and only watching it because it's popular."
No.
You're entitled to your opinions about glee not being good, and fans are perfectly entitled to their opinions about the show being really good. Neither person is right, because we're all just basing our opinions of whether the show is good or not on our own personal enjoyment of it, which is 100% subjective.
Personally, I like the acting. There are moments when you just have to shake your head at the way certain lines come across (though more often than not I'm shaking my head at the fact that those lines were even written), but there are also times when I am utterly blown away by the emotion or the humor that the actors manage to get across.
I also like the singing. My (current) favorite singer is on the show, so that should tell you something about how much I like it. There are the occasional songs I don't like, and definitely ones I'm not crazy about, but there are also songs that I think are beyond amazing.

{A} {B} and
{C}
Then there's the dancing and general performances, which are also amazing. (Sometimes because the dancing is amazing and sometimes just because they're fun)
Exhibits:

(There are actually some other songs I wanted to use for my exhibits, but I couldn't find good youtube videos for them)
And the plot... well, that's sort of hit or miss. There have been some emotional journeys that have really resounded with me, and that's mostly what hooked me on this show. It made me care about the characters, and to be honest, I care more about getting inside looks into my favorite characters than I do about a complex and compelling overall plot (though it would be nice if we could have both).
These are some reasons why people love watching Glee. Of course, you've made it pretty clear in your OP that you're mostly just looking for people to agree with you, so I do realize that the chances of you reading this (let alone you actually admitting that there are plenty of valid reasons for people to enjoy this show) are pretty slim.
