2. What is Glee About?
When a High School Spanish teacher, Will Schuester, becomes the
director of the school's failing Glee club, New Directions, he hopes to
be able to rejuvenate it. The club competes in the choir competition
circuit. It's been called "a High School Musical for adults", the series
follows the club and its mixture of oddball members as they try and
restore it to its former glory. It is a musical comedy in which the eager
and ambitious students not only compete to win the Nationals, but also
have to deal with the tough and cruel realities of their school, McKinley
High. At the same time, Will is trying to rejuvenate his failing love life
whilst preventing the school's cheer leading coach Sue Sylvester from
sabotaging the choir.
Glee's musical numbers, underdog characters, and rousing
soundtracks have all helped make Glee a runaway pop-culture hit. It is
created by Ryan Murphy (Nip/Tuck) and is a Golden Globe-winning Fox
musical comedy.

3. Where Did It All Begin?
• Glee began on September 9th 2009
• Created by- Ryan Murphy, Brad Fulchuk and Ian Brennan
• Ian Brennan conceived Glee based on his own experience as a
member of the Prospect High School show choir in Mount
Prospect, Illinois. He initially envisioned Glee as a film, rather than a
television series, and wrote the first draft in August 2005 with the aid
of Screenwriting for Dummies. He completed the script in 2005, but
could not generate interest in the project for several years. Mike
Novick, a television producer and a friend of Brennan's from Los
Angeles, was a member of the same gym as Ryan Murphy, and
gave him a copy of Brennan's script. Murphy had been in a show
choir in college, and felt he could relate to the script. Murphy and his
Nip/Tuck colleague Brad Falchuk suggested that Glee be produced
as a television show. The script was entirely rewritten, and was
picked up by Fox within fifteen hours of being received.

4. The Pilot
• Fox has given a pilot commitment to the one-hour
comedy "Glee," from "Nip/Tuck" creator Ryan
Murphy.
• Net is fast-tracking the project -- which revolves
around the world of high school glee clubs -- and
has ordered four additional scripts beyond the pilot.
If all goes as planned, Fox hopes to have the show
on the air by March, as a potential companion to
"American Idol."
• Casting has already begun on "Glee," which was
created and written by Murphy, Brad Falchuk and
Ian Brennan. The studio is 20th Century Fox TV.
