action

Will Schuester is a Spanish teacher at the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio . When the music teacher and previous head of the Glee Club , a show choir, is fired, Will decides to take over the management of the club. As a student he was a member of the Glee Club, which was much more successful at the time, and would now like to build on past successes. He has to struggle with various difficulties, such as the tight budget and above all Sue Sylvester, the jealous cheerleaders trainer , who fears for her prominence in the school and constantly tries to sabotage the club.

His bitchy wife Terri causes him more problems, and he also has to be clear about his feelings about the mysophobic school psychologist Emma Pillsbury, who - more or less secretly - is in love with him, but is courted by football coach Ken Tanaka.

In addition, however, the "Glee-Kids" with their various problems are at the center of the plot: The talented Rachel Berry, who is secretly in love with Finn and wants to be a star, but is considered an unpopular nerd by her classmates; the homosexual Kurt Hummel, who fears his father might not understand his sexual orientation; the paraplegic Artie Abrams; Mercedes Jones, who calls herself the Beyoncé of the Club; the shy stutterer Tina Cohen-Chang and the football players Finn Hudson and Noah "Puck" Puckerman, between whom and the cheerleader Quinn develop an explosive love triangle .

In each episode, musical performances of the ensemble are embedded in the plot, which - according to the repertoire of the Glee Club - come from different genres.

season 1

The first season begins with Will Schuester taking over the unhappy glee club . In the first episode the auditions take place, all of which have to be accepted. At the beginning of the season, cheerleader Quinn Fabray becomes pregnant with Puck, but says she is pregnant with Finn, her boyfriend, who she has never slept with. Will's wife Terry finally wants to be a mother and fakes pregnancy, which Will finds out and divorces. Finn finds out that Puck is the child's father and argues with Puck and Quinn. Later he gets together with Rachel, who has been in love with him for a long time. Quinn's parents kick her out and Quinn moves in with Mercedes. Puck tries to convince Quinn that he would be a good father. At the end of the season, Quinn gets her daughter Beth, whom she gives up for adoption, and gets along with her mother, who has separated from Quinn's father.

In the first season the Glee Club wins the Sectionals (city decision ), but loses the Regionals (regional decision).

season 2

The new school year is starting and with Matt, one of New Directions, moving, the Glee Club needs new members. In search of it, the students experience the complete madness of love, hate and bullying again. This season, alcohol abuse is also addressed and family problems are addressed. This school year, the New Directions manage the Sectionals again and this time also win the Regionals. But can they hold their own in the Nationals taking place in New York City?

season 3

For most of the New Directions, the final year of school is now beginning. A lot goes wrong, disputes arise, which even opens a new club: the "Troubletones". Will the 'original' Glee Club fall apart? Students have to face the future and decide how their life should go after high school. For some everything is crystal clear, as for Rachel: she wants to go to NYADA, a music college in New York City. But does she manage to assert herself with the director of the school, Carmen Tibbideaux? On the other hand, her boyfriend Finn doesn't know what to do at the moment. Should he hope for a football scholarship? Or do you prefer to follow the music? Perhaps he should follow in his late father's footsteps and join the army? Again it goes to the Nationals. Will New Directions make it this time?

Season 4

While the final year of school begins for some (Sam, Tina, Blaine, Artie and Brittany), the future of former Glee stars such as Kurt, Rachel and Santana is also portrayed. For the first time ever, there are 2 main locations: Lima, Ohio : The Glee Club is in dire need of new members. In addition, the permanent members argue about who should get the place as leader of the group (the “new Rachel”). New people are also introduced, the so-called 2nd generation of New Directions: Ryder, Jake, Wade “Unique”, Kitty and Marley. Finn returns to McKinley High after separating from Rachel and wants to take over the Glee Club!

New York City : Rachel is starting her first year at NYADA, even if it is very difficult for her. Not only because of the breakup with Finn, but also because no one is with her and she has a terrible dance teacher. Will she cope? Maybe with Kurt's help?

Season 5

After Finn's sudden death, everyone gathers at McKinley High. How will it go on?

First half The students and alumni try to deal with the situation and make the best of it. But when the New Directions can't hold their own at the Nationals, the Glee Club is about to end. This is dealt with in the 100th episode of the series ("100").

Second half After the Glee Club is closed, New York City becomes the main venue. Blaine, Sam and Artie, who have now graduated, also move to the 'Big Apple' and experience everything new there. Rachel is cast in the musical "Funny Girl", which was her greatest childhood dream and becomes a little star.

Season 6

Rachel has given up musical life and wanted to become a star with a reality show (“That's so Rachel”). Since this has become a big flop, she returns with Kurt to McKinley High and wants to revive the Glee Club. For this they need new members, the 3rd generation of New Directions: Roderick, Mason, Madison, Spencer, Jane and again Kitty. Will the Glee Club manage to flourish again? Love is also not neglected in all of this: After some back and forth, Kurt and Blaine and Santana and Brittany get married in a romantic ceremony. The last episode ("Dreams Come True") also deals with the future of former students and teachers. Have you made your dreams come true?

production

Created, conceived and produced by Ian Brennan, Glee is based on his own experience as a member of a choir at Prospect High School in Mount Prospect, Illinois. He initially planned to produce a movie but later decided to do a television series. He wrote down the first draft in August 2005. In 2005 he completed the script but failed to generate enough interest in the project for several years. Mike Novick, a Los Angeles television producer and friend of Brennan's , was a member of the same health club as Ryan Murphy and gave them a copy of Brennan's script. Murphy was in a college choir and he thought the script could be scripted. Murphy and his Nip / Tuck colleague Brad Falchuk advised Glee to be produced as a television series. The script was rewritten again and ended up at Fox , where they accepted after just 15 minutes. Murphy commented on the broadcaster's decision that the series would go well with American Idol's success . "It was natural for the broadcaster with the most successful music-based television show to do something the same way," he said. Murphy and Falchuk are the executive producers and showrunners , while Brennan is the co-executive producer and Novick is the producer . All episodes are written by Brennan, Falchuk and Murphy themselves.

Glee is set in Lima, Ohio . Murphy was picking a location in the Midwest because he grew up in Indiana and visited Kings Island Park in Ohio when he was a child . Although the series is set in Lima, it is filmed at Paramount Studios in Hollywood . Murphy also said that he had never seen any of the high school musical films and that Glee was a "postmodern musical". Murphy conceived the series as a kind of escape. “There's a lot going on right now about people with guns, science fiction, lawyers on TV. This is a different genre, nothing like it on the other channels or on cable TV. Everything in the world is so dark right now, that's why Idol worked. It's an escape from reality, ”he said. Murphy wanted a family-friendly series that was just as good for adults as it was for children. Murphy interprets the plot to be on the air for at least three years.

promotion

Advertising for the series on a balloon in New York City in May 2009

Before the second episode premiered, the Glee cast went on a tour of Hot Topic stores across the country. The cast sang the US national anthem in the third game of the 2009 World Series . She was also invited by Macy’s to appear at the 2009 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade , which the US broadcaster NBC prevented, as Glee runs on competitor Fox. Co-inventor Ryan Murphy commented on this decision with "I fully understand NBC and see the doom of Jay Leno in the future ."

Due to the success of the series, after production ended for the first season, the cast went on a concert tour and visited Phoenix , Chicago , Los Angeles and New York . They recorded a cover version of Wham! S Last Christmas , which was sold as a single and did not appear in the series until December 2010. Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Chris Colfer will resume their roles of Will, Rachel, Finn and Kurt in a cameo on a future episode of The Cleveland Show . Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Amber Riley appear as campers in the season premiere of the twenty-second season of The Simpsons .

Jane Lynch, Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith and Amber Riley featured in the 2010 MTV VMAs on September 12, 2010. When Agron, Michele and Monteith were portrayed in risky poses in the October issue of GQ , the series was sharply criticized by Parents Television Council (PTC).

Before the German launch on Super RTL, there was a musical flash mob for the series on January 6, 2011 in an Essen shopping center.

Casting

When casting the series, Murphy selected actors who already had theater experience . As a result, Murphy spent almost three months on Broadway . There he found Morrison, who previously already in the musicals Hairspray and The Light in the Piazza had occurred, which previously in the musical Michele Spring Awakening was seen, and which previously in the musical Ushkowitz The King and I had been involved.

The actors who have no theater experience should at least be able to sing and dance . The roles of Rachel and Kurt were written specifically for Michele and Colfer, respectively. Colfer had no previous professional acting or theater experience, but was cast for the role as Kurt Hummel nonetheless. At the casting, Colfer sang the song Mr Cellophane , whereupon Murphy was immediately enthusiastic about him and gave him the role.

In December 2010, it was assumed that Ryan Murphy was planning to replace some of the main cast at the end of season three, which is the senior year of some of the main characters in the series, with new and younger cast, which later turned out to be a misunderstanding. Harry Shum Jr. , who plays Mike Chang, was promoted to lead actor at the beginning of season three. After Chord Overstreet , who played Sam Evans, was not promoted to lead actor for the third season, he left the series. Two months later he changed his mind again and has been back since the eighth episode of the third season.

From June 12, 2011, a talent show called The Glee Project will be broadcast on the American cable channel Oxygen . This includes Murphy, the casting director Robert Ulrich and the choreographer Zach Woodlee. The winners of the talent show, Damian McGinty and Samuel Larsen, were able to prevail against their competitors and win a seven-episode role in the third season. Lindsay Pearce and Alex Newell, who were eliminated in the final, were also inducted into the cast, with Newell being promoted to lead actor during season 5. Pearce appeared in the season premiere as Harmony, a singer who intimidates Rachel with her talent, and she reappeared in the eighth episode of the third season, Hold on to Sixteen , which saw her take part in the Sectionals. McGinty first appeared in the fourth episode as Rory Flanagan, an Irish exchange student who lives with Brittany. Larsen's character wasn't seen until the end of the fall semester. He plays Joseph "Joe" Hart, a previously home-schooled boy who is very Christian.

Cast and dubbing

The German synchronization emerged after a dialogue book by Oliver field (Relay 1 to 4), Marcel Kurzidim, Tarek Helmy (season 5) and Mohammed Soueidan (season 5 to 6) under the dialogue director field (Relay 1 to 4), Tim Sander and Kathrin Neusser (seasons 5 to 6) by the dubbing company Arena Synchron GmbH in Berlin in the distribution of Twentieth Century Fox of Germany GmbH.

Murphy plans to bring it out as a real book, and Lynch will then go on an autograph tour as Sue.

In June 2011, the US television channel Oxygen started a talent show in which the winner gets a seven-episode role in the third season of Glee . Every week, the twelve candidates face a guest mentor from the series who decides who has done the best homework, in which the candidates have to learn a song that fits the weekly topic. That person then gets the main part in a music video. After the video shoot, the jury will decide which three candidates have to sing again individually. They are then assigned a song that they have to memorize in a short time. Finally, a so-called callback list is issued by the jurors, which states which candidate has to leave the show.

In the final on August 21, 2011, the jury announced that there were two winners. Damian McGinty and Samuel Larsen were able to prevail against their competitors and are both allowed to play in seven episodes of the third season. Lindsay Pearce and Alex Newell, who were eliminated in the final, are also allowed to play in two episodes.

As the broadcaster Oxygen announced in January 2012, a second season with 14 candidates has been shown since June 5, 2012, in which the winner can again win a role in the series comprising episodes.

The American journalist and television critic of the news magazine Time James Poniewozik rated Glee as eighth best television program of the year 2009. He said: "If Glee works - which it often does - then it is transcendent, tearful and exciting as anything else on TV." (English: When Glee works — which is often — it is transcendent, tear-jerking and thrilling like nothing else on TV. ")

“This is where ' High School Musical ' collides with ' The Office '. The successful US television series 'Glee' tells the story of a musical club singing and dancing - and cheerfully denounces the addiction to popularity and perfection. [..] The series is more than feel-good TV or harmless, amusing teenage drama. She directs her gaze to the bigotry and perfectionism of US society. "

- Nina Rehfeld - Spiegel Online

“Glee manages to confidently merge soap operas, satire and singing, not only attracting the originally intended target group, young people and teenagers, but also their parents, who are educated in pop culture, in front of the telly. [..] In the meantime, Glee has developed such a charisma that hardly anyone would even want to be suspected that they are not a fan of the series. "

- Thomas Winkler - Zeit Online

“But it is certainly not the often told stories of outsiders at a high school that have made 'Glee' one of the great successes of the series in recent years. It's the refreshing staging: the musical series is a hit machine the likes of which the music industry has not seen for a long time. "

- Heinz Völz - Stern

“The basic constellation is of course reminiscent of the Disney franchise film 'High School Musical'. But in contrast to its aseptic-healing world, in which it is not even allowed to kiss on the mouth, 'Glee' takes the needs and fears of adolescents seriously. So serious that some critics look for parallels to Charles Dickens . So serious that nothing and no one is safe from the sarcasm of the authors who previously wrote the bitterly angry cosmetic surgeon series “ Nip / Tuck ”. [..] The musical is no longer an antiquated format, but rather chic. And "Glee" is to blame. "

- Thomas Winkler - The daily newspaper

“When I first saw 'Glee' less than a year ago, I thought the show was absolutely horrible. [..] The stereotype that Kurt embodies does exist, of course, but I had the feeling that in the past five years alone I had seen him several times in dozens of other series. [Season 2: Blaine encourages Kurt to fight back. 'Bully' Karofsky kisses Kurt.] At that moment at the latest I had to admit that I had prematurely judged 'Glee' based on the first episode. Kurt looks like a monotonous quota gay on the first impression, but develops into an important main character in the coming episodes, who especially proves his character in the second season. Although his fascination for Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland often points to the well-known gay stereotypes, characters like Blaine and Karofsky in particular provide the necessary balance, which shows viewers that not all homosexuals resemble the previously known television model. "

- Michael Buchinger : Pride

Parodies

In 2010, the published US porn film - Parody This Is not Glee XXX , which ties in bulk to the hit series. How seriously the film with Andy San Dimas , Tara Lynn Foxx and Nicki Hunter takes the original from the musical mainstream despite everything , shows u. a. because there were two awards at the AVN Awards 2011 in the categories "Best Music Soundtrack" and "Best Original Song".
