Storyline
| Plot Summary |
When high school Spanish teacher Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) becomes the director of the school's failing Glee club, New Directions, he hopes to be able to rejuvenate it. The club competes in the choir competition circuit. It's been called "a High School Musical for adults", the series follows the club and its mixture of oddball members as they try and restore it to its former glory. It is a musical comedy in which the eager and ambitious students not only compete to win the Nationals, but also have to deal with the tough and cruel realities of their school, McKinley High. At the same time, Will is trying to rejuvenate his failing love life while preventing the school's cheer leading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) from sabotaging the choir.

| Trivia | Darren Criss got the part of Blaine after a nationwide open audition, in which anyone could upload a video onto Glee's Myspace page singing one of two songs they allowed. He originally auditioned for the role of Finn. See more » |
| Goofs | Akron (Carmel High School/Vocal Adrenaline) is over 150 miles from Lima. Westerville (Dalton Academy/The Warblers) is almost 90 miles from Lima. These distances make many things in the show very unlikely to have happened, though not impossible. See more » |
