If there's one new show this season that has captured my attention it's Fox's Glee. The show is an almost perfect blend of comedy, drama, and of course, music. It's a pretty good depiction of high school hierarchy, not just for the teens, but for the teachers and activities as well, even if it borders on absurd sometimes. Every week I look forward to Wednesday night and the Glee it brings, both the show and the emotion that I get from watching it.
The show has included some amazing renditions of classic songs including "Bust A Move" and an amazing mash-up of "Halo" and "Walking on Sunshine" among many others. But one of the best things about Glee is the amazing cast which includes newcomers Lea Michele, Cory Montieth, and Chris Colfer. It also includes the amazing Matthew Morrison as the teacher who sets out to make Glee club cool again, and get enough members to even go to competition. But the scene stealer here is definitely the brilliant Jane Lynch as the coach of the "Cheer-ioes" the schools cheer squad, who despises Glee club because it takes away from her accomplishments. Lynch does what she does in everything she's in and swipes the show in every scene she is in.
Now Fox has announced that the hit show is coming to DVD much sooner than I think anyone expected releasing the first 13 episodes as Volume 1 on December 29. With this move I think Fox is hoping to get the show out there and get more people watching, while also making money from the already large fanbase who will likely flock to stores to purchase it. I for one can't wait to get a copy so I can clear up some space on my DVR, as I've yet to delete an episode. The set comes with a load of Special Features including the director's cut of the pilot and cast auditions. You can check out all of the details in the press release below.
