Fox OKs pilot of comedy series about a ‘Glee’ club
Fox has greenlighted a pilot from “Nip/Tuck” creator Ryan Murphy for “Glee,” a one-hour comedy series about a small-town high school’s very bad glee club.
The club is composed of the school’s unpopular kids and is not just bad – it’s one of the worst in the whole country.
Then the school’s Spanish teacher, who was part of the club way back when, takes over and heartwarming things start to happen. Or not.
Think “High School Musical” meets “Freaks and Geeks” meets “Popular” – Murphy’s short-lived WB series about a high school’s most and least popular girls, who become stepsisters when their parents hook up.
Each episode will include the singing of multiple songs – not new ones, but already recorded tunes to which Fox has cleared broadcast rights.
