I’m so glad that I finally got to see some episodes of this show that my daughter keeps telling me about. I was offered a review copy (for free) so that I could check it out. What I received was the last two episodes, “Mattress” and “Sectionals”

Episode Twelve, “Mattress”

In this episode, the Glee Club gets omitted from the school yearbook. Rachel, one of my favorite characters, gets the team cast in a local commercial for mattresses to help them climb that evil social status ladder. Unfortunately, that gets them disqualified from competing at sectionals. The director of the Glee Club, Mr. Schuester, finds out that instead of actually being pregnant, his wife is wearing a fake baby bump.

Episode Thirteen, “Sectionals”

In this episode, the last of Season One, the Glee Club goes the big competition at Sectionals. They pull off an amazing feat there and it was awesome to watch. There is also plenty of romantic drama, some of which surrounds pregnant Glee Club member, Quinn, and her boyfriend, Finn – and the boy who is really the father of her baby, Puck. Let’s not leave out the teachers, though – there is plenty of crazy romantic chemistry going on there, too!

Along with the two really fun episodes, this disc also has a pretty big list of extras. Check ‘em out:

• Welcome to McKinley!
• Glee Music Video
• Full Length Audition Pieces
• Fox Movie Channel Presents Casting Season
• Deconstructing Glee with Ryan Murphy
• Dance Boot Camp
• Jane Lynch A to Glee
• Meet Jane Lynch
• 5 Things you don’t know about Cory
• 7 Things you don’t know about Cory
• 6 Things you don’t know about Amber
• 7 Things you don’t know about Chris
• Video Diaries

That is a lot of extras! I’m really enjoying this show – it is so funny! And the woman that really piqued my interest when I saw the commercials was, you guessed it – Mrs. Grumpypants! She is Sue Sylvester and she is the head coach of the cheerleading squad and she got it in for the Glee Club! Just look at her uber grumpiness:

One of my favorite lines from this show so far is one of hers. She is talking about her latest cosmetic surgery (or, I should say – gloating, bragging, being a bitch about!) and she says,

“And while they were in there, I told ‘em to go ahead and yank out those tear ducts ….wasn’t using ‘em…”

Crazy cranky pot woman! I guess she’s kind of the female “House”.

Let me tell you what, though, some of these kids CAN SING!!! Oh my gawd!

The show is definitely a lot of fun to watch and you can get the whole first season, including the disc that I was talking about here: Glee, Vol. One: Road to Sectionals
