Nowadays, it is fairly common to see a person of any age sporting a Glee t-shirt because of the way that the hit American TV show first broke into mass consciousness with its unique format that appeals to people of all ages.Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan in 2009, Glee tells the story of New Directions, a choir that is composed of a motley crew of students who love to sing but feel like outsiders in William McKinley High School.Matthew Morrison plays Will Schuester, a former student of McKinley High who wishes to bring pride back to the school by reviving the glee club’s glory days.
Glee is a combination of comedy and drama; all tied together performance-based musical numbers of show tunes and chart-topping hits.Its storylines discuss the most common issues that high school teenagers face every day, such as peer pressure, bullying, sexuality and relationships.
Most importantly, it teaches its young viewers about standing up for one’s beliefs and not letting others push them down, as is often seen in how the choir handles its main antagonist, McKinley High cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, played by Jane Lynch.
Using their acting and singing abilities to re-popularize some classic artists and songs to younger viewers, Glee has gained a huge following in the US and several other countries, fans who call themselves “gleeksâ€.The cast members themselves perform the TV show’s hit songs, which are then sold as compilation albums or through iTunes as singles.Also, with the show’s popularity came the emergence of other merchandise such as Glee tees, young adult books, iPad applications and other products related to the show.
At present, Glee has earned several prestigious recognitions, such as a Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor for Chris Colfer, who plays glee club member Kurt Hummel; an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Lynch, and the 2010 Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series â€" Musical or Comedy.With all of these accomplishments and more, there seems to be no end in sight for the show, and fans in Glee tshirts will continue to proudly declare their “gleek†status.
