Every year there is at least one breakout television series and with no questions asked, Glee is that series. Tv viewers were given a taste of the show after the season finale of American Idol this past May and it received positive feedback from both viewers and critics. Glee is a musical comedy-drama that airs on FOX, Wednesday nights at 9PM/ET. It focuses on a high school show choir, also known as a Glee club, set within the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio. The show follows a hilarious storyline with musical acts in between of the students covering some of the most popular songs from past and present. Of course the show is made-for-television so the characters are stereotypical. There is the popular jock, the popular cheerleader, the overachiever, the emo girl, the boisterous girl, the nerd, the gay and so forth. The show is extremely entertaining and don’t be put off by it because it’s not some poor man’s High School Musical; this show trumps that Disney franchise into the ground.
Each week there are at least 3-5 songs that are covered that fit perfectly into each episode and the next day it is made available for download on iTunes. Well, thanks to Ali we have all the songs to preview. The cast is incredibly talented and on November 3 these songs and others will be released as Glee: The Music, Volume 1. The show has also been picked up for a full season. Be sure to check out a clip after the jump of the show.
