Glee tonight ...

GLEE
"Vitamin D" - (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT)

MORE THAN THE RECOMMENDED DAILY ALLOWANCE ON "GLEE" THURSDAY, JULY 8, ON FOX

Will challenges the kids to a healthy dose of competition with boys against girls in a mashup showdown. Meanwhile, Terri takes a job as the school nurse, despite having no medical experience, to keep an eye on Will in the "Vitamin D" episode of GLEE airing Thursday, July 8 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

That's a great episode, hysterical.

I went online last night to Amazon.com and saw where the full first season of Glee will be on DVD September 14. The second volume of season one is also available for less money, for those that bought the first nine episodes on volume one.

Since I was the last to leave Pigeon Forge...I paid one last homage to that Wal-Mart. Guess what I found. All three CD's of Glee. Well..no wonder Pennie and Jojo couldn't hear me frantically calling them on their phones. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Played them all the way home. Very enjoyable. DVD's sound like a good Christmas present.

S2 UPDATES ...

Carol Burnett is Sue Sylvester's mom on 'Glee'

By Michael Ausiello

This is so utterly perfect, I'm shocked we didn't think of it first: Comedy legend Carol Burnett has been tapped to play Sue Sylvester's Nazi-hunting mother on "Glee," sources confirm to me exclusively.

I'll give you a moment to process the sheer brilliance of that casting before continuing...

Sue referenced her adventurous parents in an episode of the Fox phenom last season. Details of Mama Sylvester's arrival are being kept under wraps, but I'm told Sue's father will not be accompanying her.

The six-time Emmy-winning Burnett has made only a handful of TV appearances in recent years, most notably playing Bree's evil stepmother on "Desperate Housewives" in 2006 and a Rockette-turned-strip-club owner on "Law & Order: SVU" (for which she was nominated for an Emmy) in 2009.

Burnett's episode is slated to air in October or November.

Murphy dishes on 'Glee' stories

BEVERLY HILLS -- Former News Sentinel reporter Ryan Murphy is pulling back the reins on "Glee" for its second season, to premiere next month. "We're scaling it back and focusing more on the stories" of secondary characters instead of big guest stars and huge tributes, says Murphy, who is co-creator and executive producer of the hit musical comedy.

Most second season episodes will feature about six numbers. The Madonna episode had the biggest volume of songs so far, with nine tunes.

Season two of "Glee" will deal with everything from religion to Britney Spears. The first episode will be titled "audition" and will focus on the characters learning that life is one big audition. Episode two will be a Spears tribute, and the third episode will be about religion and what God means to the characters.

The number of "gleeks" keeps on growing and its legion has surprising names in it. Murphy received a mix tape from Paul McCartney recently. "I thought I was being punked," he told reporters this week. "It sort of came out of the blue."

McCartney sent a note that asked Murphy if he'd want to use any of McCartney's songs on the show. Murphy's response? "Of course," he said.

The "Glee" version of "Don't Stop Believin'" charted higher than the original song did. The producers said former Journey front man Steve Perry "couldn't be happier" with that achievement, Murphy said.

Five original songs will be used in an episode airing in the later part of the second season.

"Glee" is going into this year's Emmys with more nominations than any series this season. It also scooped up three honors from the Television Critics Association this past week. One was for Program of the Year.

Murphy's first writing job was at the News Sentinel. He started out covering breaking news but asked -- and got -- to switch to features and lifestyles reporting.

Oh my gosh! I'm delighted that Carol Burnett is playing Sue's mom. Can't wait to see that and I love Carol Burnett! Definitely this has made my day! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
