What happens when you pump ''[[High School Musical]]'' full of antidepressants? You get ''Glee'', where every episode is the [[Musical Episode]]!

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.

 

 

Although 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. This was helped by the fact that before the first season was finished it was renewed for both a second and third season, both with 22 episodes. A fourth 22-episode season was ordered for 2012. The show finished its fifth season, as part of another double renewal deal. It was later confirmed by Ryan Murphy that the sixth season would be the final season, and it ended on March 20, 2015 after six seasons and 121 episodes.

* [[Once a Season]]: The sixth episode of every season is a mash-off competition. In the first two seasons, it was boys vs. girls ("Vitamin D" and "Never Been Kissed"), and in the third, it was New Directions vs. The Troubletones ("Mash Off").

* [[One-Gender School]]: Dalton Academy and its sister school, Crawford Country Day.

** More like a One Episode Wonder, but The Papas Berry, as played by [[Jeff Goldblum]] and Brian Stokes Mitchell. Pure gold from start to finish and by ''God'' they cast those roles well!

* [[One Steve Limit]]:
