Glee: The Complete Second Season Now on Blu-ray and DVD

September 20, 2011 By

I have watched every episode of “GLEE” since episode one of season one, but I still love collecting the episodes to watch again, especially because I’m a sucker for bonus features. I love seeing what really happens behind the scenes! Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment released “GLEE”: The Complete Second Season on Blu-ray and DVD last week, and they are both packed with all 22 episodes and never-before-seen bonus features sure to please both the casual viewer and hardcore GLEEKS like me!

Season Two had some episodes that were not-so-hot (“Grilled Cheesus” was pretty awful) but also some episodes that were jaw-dropping. Episode four, “Duets”, has Mercedes and Santana singing “River Deep, Mountain High”, and it is one of the best musical duets I’ve ever heard, period. I have the CD of season two and I listen to that song a lot. Episode five is the Rocky Horror Musical episode, and episode eleven is “The Sue Sylvester Shuffle”, which aired immediately after Super Bowl XLV. Reportedly the most expensive post-Super Bowl episode ever produced, “The Sue Sylvester Shuffle” cost $3–5 million. It featured over 500 extras, guest star Katie Couric, and the amazing “Thriller/Heads Will Roll” performance.

“GLEE” THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON Blu-ray & DVD Features:
• Glee Music Jukebox
• Guesting on Glee
• Stevie Nick Goes Glee
• A Day in The Life of Brittany

Glee: The Music – The Power of Madonna

May 1, 2010 By

Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonnacover of Glee The Music The Power of Madonna is the soundtrack to the episode of Glee that aired on April 20th, and if you are a fan of either Glee or Madonna, this is a CD you need to own!

It was an evening of television that rocked my world – one of my favorite TV shows, Glee, featuring the music of the Material Girl herself, Madonna. From the opening number “Express Yourself” in which the ladies strutted and let the boys know in no uncertain terms that they had better start treating them right, to the surprising “Like A Virgin” with two couples dancing (literally) around the topic of having sex (because in each couple, someone is still a virgin!), and wrapping it all up with Sue Sylvester’s shot-for-shot remake of Madonna’s “Vogue” video, this was an episode of Glee I’ll watch again and again.

These are the seven tracks on Glee: The Music, The Power of Madonna Glee The Music The Power of Madonna :

1. Express Yourself (Glee Cast Version Featuring Jonathan Groff)
2. Borderline / Open Your Heart (Glee Cast Version)
3. Vogue (Glee Cast Version)
4. Like A Virgin (Glee Cast Version Featuring Jonathan Groff)
5. 4 Minutes (Glee Cast Version)
6. What It Feels Like For A Girl (Glee Cast Version)
7. Like A Prayer (Glee Cast Version Featuring Jonathan Groff)

With Mother’s Day coming up soon, this would make the PERFECT gift for a Mom who loves Glee!  Just so you know, the links in this post are Amazon Associate links, so if you click them and buy the Glee soundtrack or anything else, I earn a small commission.  Which is a great way to help support MomReviews while getting your online shopping done! :)    Amazon.com carries pretty much everything, so check out the books, cookbooks, movies, jewelry, clothing, beauty products, and more!

Glee Season One Volume One: Road to Sectionals

January 27, 2010 By

I am a Gleek! I’ve watched every episode of Glee, and I love, love, love it!  My husband bought me one of the Glee soundtracks for Christmas without me even having to tell him I wanted it, which almost never happens! lol   So naturally I was excited to see that the first half of Season One was coming out on DVD. It’s called Glee Season One Volume One: Road to SectionalsGlee Vol. One Road to Sectionals, and it’s available on Amazon.com for $27.99 which includes free Super Saver Shipping.

I wasn’t able to get the full DVD for review (sad face), but 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment did send me a screener of Disc Four, which includes the episodes “Mattress” and “Sectionals”, and these special features-

Special Features:

* Full Length Audition Pieces
Rachel – “On My Own”
Mercedes – “Respect”
* Welcome to McKinley!
* Fox Movie Channel Casting Session
* Deconstructing Glee With Ryan Murphy
* Dance Boot Camp

My favorite is the casting session feature, where we learn, among other things, that Lea Michele (Rachel) came to her audition having just gotten into a car accident on the way to the studio, and that Cory Monteith (Finn) sent in an audition tape of himself drumming on water glasses. And in the Dance Boot Camp feature, the dancing coach reveals that Kevin McHale (Artie) is probably the best dancer of the group, but we won’t see it since his character is in a wheelchair.

If you’re a Gleek like me, pick up Glee Season One Volume One: Road to Sectionals, while you are waiting for the second half of Season One to resume on April 13th!
