Mediaweek TV: Behind the Scenes of Fox's Glee

When Fox previews its new musical series Glee on May 19, at 9 p.m., the network is hoping to erase viewers’ lingering critiques of the genre, due to prior failures such as CBS’s Viva Laughlin and ABC’s Cop Rock.

From Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy, Glee is sort of a twisted, over-the-top, and at times, uplifting look at high school life, as seen through the eyes of one school’s glee club.

For its May 19 preview, Glee will be paired with American Idol–which seems like a perfect fit.
