Through the course of its initial 13 episodes and another 9 that aired in the spring of 2010, Glee transfixed its audiences with its offbeat combination of humor and drama and its musical numbers, ranging from Broadway to classic rock to rap, or even merging them together in the show's famous "mash-ups." Michele and Morrison, both with Broadway résumés, get the biggest credits (check Michele's roof-raising "Don't Rain on My Parade" or her "Defying Gravity" duel with Coifer), but the whole cast sings and dances with skill and heart. It didn't take long for entertainment powerhouses of all stripes to take an interest in Glee, either as contributors (such as Madonna, who lent her music to a full episode) or as guest stars. Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth makes numerous appearances as glee-club alumna April Rhodes (none better than her duet with Morrison of "One Less Bell to Answer" and "A House Is Not a Home"), and in the season's best episode, "Dream" (directed by Joss Whedon), Neil Patrick Harris and Idina Menzel (Chenoweth's Wicked costar) sing terrific duets with Morrison and Michele, respectively. Other guest stars, to often-humorous effect, include Josh Groban, Molly Shannon, Eve, and Olivia Newton-John. At the end of the season, well-deserved Emmy wins went to director-creator Ryan Murphy (Nip/Tuck), Lynch, and Harris, and Morrison, Michele, Colfer, and Chenoweth also earned nominations. --David Horiuchi

This review is from: Glee: Complete Season One (DVD)
I watched all the shows on TV, then I bought my favorites for my iPod and this is on my Christmas wishlist.Great actors, great singing, great songs, great guest starts (Eve, Olivia Newton-John, NEIL PATRICK HARRIS to name a few) and even great tributes (Madonna and Lady Gaga). A show that's been nominated for 19 Emmys doesn't really need a lot more info than that. You must watch this

This review is from: Glee: The Complete First Season (DVD)
Glee is such a great and upbeat show. I am so glad this set was on sale, as I was slightly upset purchasing the Season 1 Volume 1 set (which was only the first half of the first season). I am now happy to have all episodes on DVD - of course any Gleek will love this set, but I think that Glee has mass appeal and I highly recommend the show to anyone that is artistic or a supporter of the fine arts.

This review is from: Glee: Complete Season One (DVD)
Honestly, I am in love with Glee!. It's got so much great comedy, drama, and the performances can be so entertaining! Jane Lynch is absolutely hilarious on the show, and the Madonna episode is just brilliant! I think everyone should try this show. . . it's so addicting, and the music is varied. I love every episode, and there are lots of great bonus features too. :)
