Few shows bottle pure delight like Glee, a Fox TV series about the ups and downs of a high school glee club, or show choir. The show lures you in with its musical numbers, a mix of classic rock and Broadway show tunes performed by a cast of marvelous singers and dancers--but what keeps you watching are the wonderful characters, ranging from Rachel (Lea Michelle), whose self-obsession is as uninhibited as it is annoying; to Emma (Jayma Mays), a germ-phobic guidance counselor hopelessly in love with a married teacher; to Kurt (Chris Colfer), a cherubic young gay man who discovers he's got a fantastic football kick. The center of the show is Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison), the earnest Spanish teacher of McKinley High School, who's determined to guide the glee club to victory at a national competition. He sees this collection of overemotional misfits as heroic, but they're looked down on as losers by the rest of the school--especially Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Best In Show), the ruthless cheerleading coach who will stop at nothing to destroy the glee club before they can take even a fraction of her extravagant budget.
Glee fuses adolescent soap opera, the comic pettiness of academic politics, and exuberant song and dance. (While it would be better if the songs weren't so glossily produced, it's impossible to deny the pep and talent of these young performers.) Somehow, the characters manage to be cartoonish yet multidimensional; even the nicest characters are capable of being jerks and the most manipulative have moments of sympathy or grace. For example, Will's wife, Terri (Jessalyn Gilsig), fakes a pregnancy because she's afraid Will is about to leave her for Emma--but as absurd as this scenario is, it's carefully grounded in enough moments of desperate yearning that it becomes completely compelling… particularly when Terri seizes on the unwanted pregnancy of lead cheerleader Quinn (Dianna Agron) as the solution to her problem. Throw in vividly colored costume designs and blisteringly funny rants from Sue, and it's easy to see why Glee became an unexpected hit. Volume One: The Road to Sectionals collects the first 13 episodes, along with a smattering of extras that range from charming (the principal leads the audience on a tour through the school) to inane (bland factoids about the actors' favorite colors). --Bret Fetzer

I'm a Gleek!
It is such a fun and energetic show and if you are a fan of music it is a must watch! What i love most about this show is that it doesn't take itself seriously at all, but it does not shy away from taking on major hot topics in the world today. Obesity, homosexuality, teenage pregnancy, etc...and they approach them all with the perfect blend of humor and sincerity to make it impactful. This is a great show!

Glee
I had no idea that I would love this TV show as much as I do. I thought it would be rather stupid, or just for younger people. I love it and can't wait for the next season. I just started watching it for the last couple of months so purchased the DVD set to catch up. I couldn't stop watching it! Love it! Very good group of talented kids! I highly recommend this set.

Loves it but dissapointed
I love the glee program and really loved the dvd. Very dissapointed for the fact that this DVD is not the whole first season. I would like to purchase all of the dvds when available but I better check out the season problem. I hope Amazon that we get the whole season next time and that your explanation of the DVD includes that detail.

Gleeks Will Love This!
Can't get enough of GLEE? Then this edition of the first episodes is what you need. I used the collection on a field trip that involved a lot of time on a bus with 44 teenagers. Many had never seen the show and after viewing them, wrote that GLEE was one of the best parts of the trip!
A must have for all GLEEKS!

What's the fuss over "Glee"?
I had never heard of "Glee" until I learned that one of my favorite celebrities was going to guest star. I had no idea what to expect. A friend told me it was a ripoff of the popular "High School Musical" movies where people start singing and dancing for no other reason than that it's SUPPOSED to be a musical.
The episode begins and I like it because the writing is spunky, it's quick-paced, and the woman who plays the gym teacher is terrific.
The scene switches to a bunch of guys in a gym, I think. They're all talking. Normal. Normal. Then all of a sudden, one of the guys, I think a teacher, starts singing "Ice Ice Baby." What's worse, he's taking himself far too seriously and it's quite obvious that he actually believes he looks cool!
Well, I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my life. I had to ask my friend, who was watching with me, "Is this for real? Is this a spoof on bad musicals? Tell me the people who make this show INTENDED to make it stupid!"
"Nope," he said. "People take it very seriously. It's very popular."
"You mean this is ON PURPOSE??" I asked. "This isn't some kind of 'wink-wink' inside joke?"
"It's the latest rage," he said. I sat there stunned through the rest of the show. At least the video of the gym teacher and Olivia Newton-John spoofing "Physical" had a premise. And it was SUPPOSED to be a spoof; not to be taken seriously as legitimate entertainment.
This show is legitimate only insofar as it's legitimately a freak hit -- like Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. Flash in the pan, destined to go the way of the pet rock!

Glee Excells for Entertainment that All can Enjoy
I'm a teacher is a juvenile detention facility. When I first introduce Glee to classes, a lot of the boys whine and grumble. They think it's a show for girls or pansies. But it is not very long before they are all engaged. If the plot doesn't first get them, the outstanding musical performances do. Eventually they are all interested in the story and the characters. The show is very funny, clever, interesting and pushes the boundaries. Each episode has a positive message (or messages) that underlies the plot. All of the characters are interesting and believable. Some are classics. Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester) is a treasure. Even though their are plenty of homophobes in my classes, they seem to develop compassion for Curt (the "gay kid") after watching the episode when Curt tries to shield his father from pain caused by anonymous homophobic coward. Some of the writing is outstanding. The common theme that underlies all of the episodes is acceptance, overcoming obstacles and working hard to accomplish something worthwhile. The result is immense pride. Since I've shown these episodes to multiple classes, I've seen each of them myself countless times. Nevertheless, I can't stop watching and enjoying this show. I love it! Since it's chocked full of music, watch it with a great sound system. (The music is highly varied....from classic rock, standards, & broadway show tunes to a little funk and hip-hop (the better of that and not too much.) I can't imagine anyone not liking this show IF THEY PAY A LITTLE ATTENTION.
