‘Glee’ bids farewell after six entertaining seasons

Chuck Barney Tribune News Service

Don’t miss

“Glee” series finale: OK, so this sixth season has been one brutally hot mess. But we’ll still pay our respects to a groundbreaking series that not only brought song and dance to prime time, but gave a shout out to arts in our schools and delivered messages of tolerance. The show bids farewell with a two-hour curtain call that looks at how the original gang came to the glee club, and then flashes forward five years to see where life has taken them. 8 p.m. Friday, Fox.
