Hey, Ryan Murphy: Remember that time you promised you'd dial back on the 'Glee' hype for the summer?

Here's a refresher, in case you don't: "At some point, even I was like, 'Enough is enough,'" you told Vulture. "So I talked to Fox and we talked to the kids and we said, 'Let's just go underground for three months. Let's stop talking about it [so much].' It's been a concerted effort of mine to give it a breather."

So ... what happened?

Apparently, to you, giving things a "breather" means "spilling practically every season 2 plot detail to the press."

Really, did you even try to keep your mouth shut? For, like, a week even?

Just this weekend, you told E! all about Britney Spears filming her cameo, the new show you're creating for John Stamos, the status of Finn and Rachel's relationship and the status of Will and Emma's relationship. We already know about Finn's protege-turned-rival; how you want music from Prince and George Michael; the return of Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel and Jonathan Groff; that mixtape Paul McCartney made for you; the entire plot of the Britney episode and the plans for a 'Rocky Horror' tribute.

At this rate, is there going to be anything left to anticipate come fall?

Part of the reason 'Glee' was so successful last year is because it was so surprising and so different. You've said yourself that you're worried about the hype machine bringing you down, so why keep fueling the fire? There's not going to be anything unexpected on the 'Glee' season premiere if you've already spilled the beans about every significant plotline.

Those pictures Britney Spears Tweeted from the 'Glee' set were pretty great, and the pop star could definitely use the good press her appearance on the show is giving her. But how much more awesome would that upcoming Britney-centric episode have been if all parties involved remained completely silent on the matter? And we only found out that she was actually appearing on the show when we watched it unfold onscreen in September?

Don't say a secret like that can't be kept -- remember the Super Bowl commercial this year that brought David Letterman and Jay Leno together in the same room? And how shocked/surprised/amused/entertained we all were? If the bitterest rivals on TV can reunite onscreen and keep it under wraps, we think you can shut your trap about a singer filming a guest spot.

So, Mr. Murphy, we implore you: Follow your own advice. Please. Your show will be better off, and we'll all be able to enjoy it more. Or, at least when the next 'Glee' headline appears, we won't automatically roll our eyes and scroll to another story.
