WelcomeWhat tohappens when you pump ''[[High School Musical]]'' full of antidepressants? You get Glee, ''Glee'', where every episode is the [[Musical Episode]].

''Glee'' is aboutthe story of a high school teacher's attempts to organize his small public school's show choir while dealing with his personal issues and the torrid personal lives of thehis students around him. The first episode alone featuredfeatures music from such disparate sources as Journey and ''[[Guys and Dolls]]'' and [[Journey]], and the show goes on to showcase everything from [[Charlie Chaplin]] to [[Lady Gaga]].

The musical numbers are usually given an in-universe justification with the activities of the Glee club, instead of seemingly springing fully formed from the minds of characters in normal situations, as with most musicals. [[That Reminds Me of a Song]] is in full effect here. From time to time, an individual ''does'' just break into a full-on song and dance sequence with back-up dancers and props and so forth, and it cuts from location to location mid-stream (just like a music video); based on contextual clues, these moments appear to be taking place at least partially in the individual's thoughts.

BeforeAlthough the first half of Season 1 was well received and put all of its main cast in the spotlight, Glee became one of Fox's most divisive shows.
