In the beginning of its impressive run, Glee wasn’t just a show. It was an institution—a movement. You couldn’t step three feet without walking into a conversation about the musical comedy’s latest episode, running into its songs on the charts, or catching its concert tours on the big screen. Glee was everywhere.

From the unstoppable team behind such irreverent television comedies as Nip/Tuck and Scream Queens, Glee captured a previously untapped combination of comedy and music in the teen drama landscape. Fox’s smash hit featured jokes and musical numbers aplenty while following the lives of small-town teenagers and honoring music’s biggest stars.

Also, Glee launched the careers of a crop of brand new household names into the stratosphere, including (but not limited to) the likes of Lea Michele, Jane Lynch, and Darren Criss. Relive every melodic and groundbreaking moment of the boundary-pushing, award-winning comedy series.
