America Inspired

Glee: The Complete First Season DVD [Blu-ray] (2010) and Special Features

Glee was an instant hit after it's premiere May 2009 when it followed "American Idol" which was the perfect audience to expose this show to. The band and choir geek community makes up a pretty good percentage of "AI" watchers. Along with veteran Broadway performers like Matthew Morrison and Lea Michelle, the first season of "Glee" also had some amazing guest stars to spice up the new series. 

  • Kristin Chenoweth of "Wicked" fame had a recurring part as glee-club alumna April Rhodes
  • Neil Patrick Harris as Will's old school
  • Idina Menzel as Lea Michelle's absentee mother
  • Josh Groban
  • Molly Shannon
  • Olivia Newton-John.

Glee became the most talked about show on TV, a musical-comedy-drama of colorful characters and soaring production numbers. Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) is a teacher at an Ohio high school who decides to coach the glee club (or show choir) that he belonged to when he was a student. The initial members are a ragtag bunch of social outcasts: born-for-Broadway diva Rachel (Leah Michele), big-voiced Mercedes (Amber Riley), wheelchair-bound Artie (Kevin McHale), stuttering goth girl Tina (Jenn Ushkowitz), and closeted gay Kurt (Chris Colfer). But things get interesting when the club starts to prepare for the sectional competition and manages to add some of the school's popular kids: quarterback Finn (Cory Monteith), his bullying teammate Puck (Mark Salling), and cheerleaders Quinn (Dianna Agron), Santana (Naya Rivera), and Brittany (Heather Morris), the final three planted as spies by Schuester's rival, internationally acclaimed cheerleading coach Sue (Jane Lynch). Meanwhile, a triangle develops among Will, his wife (Jessalyn Gilsig), and the school's obsessive-compulsive guidance counselor, Emma (Jayma Mays). Other relationships get tangled, faces are slushied, and Sue plots the club's destruction while tossing out plenty of zingers. (Source Amazon.com)
