Glee – described by many as an edgier, more adult version of High School Musical is a one hour musical comedy series that is set to air September 9, 2009 at 9:00 EST on Fox.  The show follows Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) a Spanish teacher at the fictional McKinnley High, who sets out to transform the Glee Club to it’s former glory and to help it’s members utilize their talent and realize their potential.

The Glee Club is made of up of Rachael Berry (Lea Michele) a talented over achiever set on making it big (think Elections Tracy Flick but with aspirations to become a singer), Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) football player turned Glee Club member, Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley) as the wants-to-be-a-leading-lady diva, Artie Abrams (Kevin McHale) a wheel chair bound electric guitar playing nerdy kid, Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) the Mr Cellophane singing soprano that gets bullied by the football team, and Tina Cohen-Chang (Jenna Ushkowitz) the studdering Asian Goth girl.

If you didn’t get a chance to catch the seasons pilot episode that premiered after American Idol back in May have no fear as Fox, Hulu, and Fancast all have the episode available for your viewing pleasure.  For more information and a full cast listing for the show, be sure to visit our Glee Cast page above.
