    Storyline

    Edit
    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. —WellardRockard

    • 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.

    Review

    Used to be a guilty pleasure, but has long jumped the shark
    What I really liked about "Glee" in its first two seasons was that the characters and their situations were so easy to relate to, especially for someone like me (and many others, naturally) who went to a conservative, small-town school and never seemed to fit in. Despite the odd ridiculous moment or some bland covers of already bland songs, "Glee" became a true guilty pleasure, and I put the emphasis more on pleasure than on guilty. However, the whole premise of it involving a group of pupils at a high school would mean that it was never meant to last that long, and I do think it should have stopped once the main characters had left the school. Now the ridiculousness has become more and more pronounced, and I've stopped paying attention to the series. Sorry.

    • Is the series available to own?
    • Shouldn't students be graduating now? They aren't all in the same grade, are they?
    • Where can I find out what songs were heard in the show?
