    • 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.
    • Goofs
      Throughout the series, it's clear that the actors/actresses portraying teenagers are actually in their 20s+. This is usually done to get around child labor laws, that won't allow teenagers to work full time on a set due to interfering with their real-life schooling. Plus casting adults adds to the benefit of better acting from the actors/actresses due to having more experience plus the producers are able to sexualize the characters without consequences. Lastly, it gives the general viewing audience who are teenagers (or young people) someone they can look up to.

    good start but fades in later years
    Spanish teacher Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) restarts the William McKinley High School glee club. He gathers the misfits and the outcasts of the school. Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) is gay. Artie Abrams (Kevin McHale) is wheelchair bound. His best friend Tina Cohen-Chang (Jenna Ushkowitz) pretends to have a stutter. Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) is obsessed to be on Broadway. Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley) sings at church. Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) is the diabolical cheerleader coach of the Cheerios who aims to stop the glee club. Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) is the football quarterback who secretly loves to sing. Santana Lopez (Naya Rivera), Noah Puckerman (Mark Salling), Brittany S. Pierce (Heather Morris), Mike Chang (Harry Shum Jr.) the other Asian and Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron) all join after changing their minds. Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet) and Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) join in later seasons. Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays) is the guidance counselor with OCD who falls for the married Will Schuester.

    This show starts off like a rocket. It's fun. The musical aspect is fun and unusual. The characters are terrific. The cast of unknowns are terrific. It was set up for a good run. However I get the sense that Ryan Murphy was more interested in the music and the dance sequences. The show is more concerned with the guest star rather than playing with the characters. The stories for each character get worn out instead of build upon. The characters never really grew beyond their original intend. The writing took a backseat and Cory Monteith's untimely death harmed it noticeably. The show fades and the last few seasons are rather boring.
