Glee; Preggers Season 4 -
The ‘’ Preggers’’ is the third episode of series Glee. "Preggers" features covers of two songs, and several dance performances of Beyoncé Knowles' "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)". A studio recording of Michele's cover of "Taking Chances" was released as a single, accessible for digital download and features on the album Glee: The Music, Volume 1. The scene in which Kurt comes out to his father was based on the own understanding of series creator Ryan Murphy. Murphy's objective was to move away from preceding shows he has worked on in which gay characters have not been given happy endings, by allowing Kurt to succeed and be accepted. The episode was watched by 6.624 million United States viewers and received mixed reviews from critics. Shawna Malcolm of the Los Angeles Times praised the show's fast pacing, however the New York Time’s Mike Hale felt that key characters were not given enough screen time. The football team's performance of "Single Ladies" and Kurt's coming out to his father were generally well received, however Rachel's actions garnered little sympathy, and several reviewers commented negatively on Quinn's pregnancy, with Eric Goldman of IGN deeming it "a very soap opera plotline".
