Don't Cry For 'Glee'... When It's This Good!
For sectionals this year, Will is determined to prove how self-aware ‘Glee’ can be.

(For those who missed it, Santana took it in the middle of a wonderfully entertaining tribute to Madonna.)

'Glee' Recap: Rocking The Horror Show
Coming into “The Rocky Horror Glee Show,” my expectations were not particularly high. My familiarity with the source material began and ended with the iconic singing red lips and in general, I’m not a huge fan of “the Halloween episode.” I just don’t look forward to that week when shows decide to ignore every story arc they’ve set up just to put their characters into some stylized parody of a horror movie. Therefore, I was thrilled to see that this week’s installment of “Glee” actually felt more like an episode of “Glee” than an unintentionally rocky, well… horror show.

The re-teaming of Ferrell and writer/director Adam McKay has already spiced up the box office for the early part of August and several other titles makes one wonder if the re...
