We even get the triumphant return of Puck. Here’s the full synopsis of tonight’s episode.

Next week, Fox is getting spooky, as they bring us an entire week’s worth of Halloween themed shows. New comedy Raising Hope will get it’s haunt on with a special Halloween episode on Wednesday, but before that, Glee is doing the Time Warp with a very special episode dedicated to the classic rock musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

The episode revolves around the cast putting together their own performance of Rocky Horror for the school, and getting plenty of dirty looks and judging faces that most fans of the transvestite-dancing, underwear-donning, homoerotic musical have put up with for years.

It’s impossible for them to fit the entire musical into the 40 minutes or so that they have to tell the story, but we do know that the album consists of Science Fiction Double Feature, Damn it, Janet, Whatever Happened Tto Saturday Night, Sweet Transvestite, Touch a Touch a Touch a Touch Me, There’s a Light, and Time Warp, so we’ll get to see those songs during the episode.

Check out an exclusive look at the show after the jump, and be sure to catch The Rocky Horror Glee Show next Tuesday at 8pm ET/PT on Fox.

This season of Glee is promising to be a good one. Between an entire episode dedicated to Britney Spears, and another episode dedicated to the music of Rocky Horror Picture Show, we’re looking at another nonstop season from series creator Ryan Murphy.

Glee blew up last year in both TV ratings and record sales earning a record 9.77 million viewers for Fox, picking up a few awards including a Golden Globe, and an astounding 19 Emmy nominations. Their music didn’t get left in the dust, as the show’s single releases gained over 7 million downloads for some of their songs.

Now, needless to say, fans are ready for a second season, as the show kicks into it’s second year with even more musical drama and comedy. Check out a brand new behind-the-scenes featurette for the new show after the jump, and be sure to catch the premiere Tuesday, September 21st, on Fox.

Sort of. Actually, it’s a clip from a new episode which has been fashioned into a commercial for American Express’s Members Project campaign in which it promotes book drives and not being mean. At least that’s what we got from the commercial.

What we do get, however, is some new footage of some of our favorite Glee cast members like Artie (Kevin McHale),  Kurt (Chris Colfer), Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison), and of course, Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch).

This season promises to have some great moments, such as a Britney Spears cameo, songs from Rocky Horror Picture Show and much more. Join the whole gang as Glee returns on September 21st.

So Quinn’s pregnant, Jesse (thankfully) dumped Rachel and got back with his group Vocal Adrenaline, which is poised to win regionals. If they do, then Glee Club’s over (have they used the looming cancellation of Glee Club a bit too much this season?). To make things worse, Sue’s one of the judges, due to her recent celebrity status. Will protests, but Principal Figgins (How long before they do a “Ha, ha, ha, Mr. ‘iggins” number?) won’t budge.

Will organizes a group meeting at his home, where the students weep over the inevitable demise of the club and whine about how their social lives will suffer a similar fate. He also tries to patch things up/seek help from on/off flame Emma, who in turn lets slip that she’s been dating her dentist Carl Howell “He’s impressed with my oral hygiene”(and doesn’t that name sound like it belongs on Arrested Development?).

Finn confronts Rachel in the hall and presses her to lead the group to regionals—and in a surprising character turn, and even though she looks on the verge of tears, Rachel doesn’t cry! Instead, she kisses him. Way to go!

On the drive home, Will’s radio starts playing…wait for it…wait for it…

Yup:

“Don’t Stop Believin’,” which inspires him to devise an all-Journey venue for regionals. After an impassioned pep talk about how far the Glee students have come, he…uh…proposes the plan, which, oddly, the students didn’t see coming.

We all know the effect that Fox’s Glee has had on the nation. It’s brought the high school drama, soap opera, musical, and hour-long comedy together once a week, all while providing the world with a popular soundtrack every few episodes. It seems that Fox realizes what the have in Glee as they have picked up the show for an unprecedented two more seasons.

Before even finishing its first season, the genre-defying, award-winning, underdog comedy GLEE has been picked up through its third season, it was announced today by Peter Rice, Chairman, Entertainment, Fox Networks Group; and Kevin Reilly, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.

“In just one year, GLEE has transcended the television landscape and emerged as a global pop culture phenomenon,” said Rice. “We are incredibly proud to have talent like Ryan Murphy and the GLEE cast in our FOX family, and we can’t wait to see where Ryan takes the show in Seasons Two and Three.”

This news comes as no shock to anyone who has seen Glee take over the lives of so many people, in both the TV and DVD world, as well as iTunes and CD. In the US alone, the first two Glee albums reached nearly 7 million downloads and their most recent album, The Power of Madonna, debuted at number 1, helping them surpass the power group U2 with the most Billboard charting songs of the past 10 years.

In tonight’s episode, entitled “Theatricality”, the gang delves into the world of Lady GaGa, and find out what it takes to become a true star, in every sense of the word. Catch the episode on Fox at 9PM ET/PT.

Yesterday, we brought you an interview with hall of fame fanboy Joss Whedon, in which he discussed tonight’s episode of Glee, entitled “Dream On,” which he directed. Not only do fans of Whedon get the master of all things geek behind the camera, but he also brought along his pal from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog, Neil Patrick Harris.

It’s not secret that Harris has a background in musical theater, having worked on the Broadway production of RENT!, and of course doing the acclaimed, web-based musical with Whedon. He’s even reprising his role as a bad guy in this week’s episode, when he plays Will’s (Matthew Morrison) old high school nemesis, Bryan Ryan.

In unbridled anticipation for tonight’s episode, we’ve brought you a brand new clip, and you even get a piece of Harris singing a classic Monkees hit “Daydream Believer.”

Check out the clip after the jump, and be sure to catch the “Dream On” episode of Glee tonight at 9/8C on Fox.

Since its return in April, Glee has taken a different approach by having an overall theme throughout each song in an episode. One week was saying “hello”, while another week talked about “home.” That theme carries on with this week’s episode entitled “Dream On.”

Not only does the title insinuate that we’ll get some possibly great songs, but fan favorite Joss Whedon is stepping in to direct, and he’s bringing Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog‘s  Neil Patrick Harris in to play Mr. Schuester’s (Matthew Morrison) arch nemesis.

Whedon is apparently a closet Gleek, and couldn’t wait to take on this opportunity. This can only mean he’ll be stepping up his game and bringing us other Gleeks a truly memorable episode.

Check out his interview with Whedon after the jump in which he talks about his work on the episode, holding in his geekdom for the show while working on set, and working with NPH again. Catch Whedon’s “Dream On” episode of Glee tomorrow (Tuesday) at 9/8C on Fox.

Last week, Fox’s Glee returned with a bang picking up a series high of 13.7 Million viewers, which was 44% more than those who watched the pilot last year. Fox boasts that this is the highest viewership of a freshman series, so why wouldn’t they continue the trend with a huge episode this week in “The Power of Madonna”?From Fox:

Mr. Schuester is concerned that the girls in the glee club are being disrespected and bullied by the guys. Looking to Madonna and her musical message of equality as inspiration, he challenges the entire team to choose Madonna songs as their next assignment in the hopes that the girls embrace her strength, independence and confidence and that the guys will see the error of their misogynistic ways.

The glee club takes the assignment to heart as they perform some of Madonna’s greatest hits, including “Express Yourself” and “Like A Prayer.” Meanwhile, Kurt and Mercedes give Sue a vote of confidence with a makeover that is definitely in “Vogue.”

Check out some brand new clips from tomorrow night’s episode after the jump, and be sure to catch an all-new Glee on Fox, Tuesday April 20th, at 9pm ET/PT.
