One of the Best Shows on TV/One of the Worst Scams in History.
I love "Glee." Seriously. I have loved "Glee" since the first episode aired back in the Spring of 2009 and I dreaded waiting until the Fall for new episodes. I buy all of the songs from the show off iTunes and I watch every episode live. I really do recommend "Glee" to everyone because it is such a unique, enjoyable, enthusiastic, and downright fun show! The singing's always great, the dancing is a thrill, the comedy is a riot, and the drama is powerful. I have no issues with this show outside of the fact that it doesn't always let the minor characters have their chance with the microphone that often (specifically Tina and Puck). I'm itching with excitement over the back nine episodes and am eagerly waiting for them to start airing in April. HOWEVER, with all of that said, I urge everyone NOT to waste their money on this boxset. It seriously is a scam. Originally, an interview with a producer on the show said that this first volume - containing the 13 episodes of "Glee" that have been produced and aired this past Fall - would come with a voucher for when the Complete First Season (all 22 episodes) is released in 2010 so that you wouldn't have to pay the full price to get the last nine episodes. In a memo to the website [...], FOX confirmed that there is not and never was a voucher with this boxset - meaning that the people who pay the price to get the first 13 episodes now will have to pay that price again PLUS another $15 (at the least) to get the complete season when it is released later this year. They're ripping off the fans - as if they aren't making enough money off of this blockbuster with their chart-topping, record-breaking soundtracks and songs on iTunes and getting enough recognition with the four Golden Globe nominations the show has rightfully received. FOX is running a scam here, folks. A horrible, horrible scam. And I strongly advise that every "Glee" fan show a little patience and wait for the Complete First Season, with all 22 episodes on it, to get released this year. I can't imagine FOX will make us wait until September for its release so I would expect it at the end of July at the earliest. And even if a Complete First Season ISN'T released - if a second volume with the final 9 episodes of season one IS released - do you really want to take that chance? Knowing FOX, it probably won't be released and then you'll be out $25 or more because you'll have to pay for the same 13 episodes twice! Keep watching the show. Keep recommending the show. Keep downloading the songs off iTunes. But DO NOT buy this boxset and waste your money! Wait until we know what will happen once the season ends - until we know if we'll be getting Volume Two or if we'll get the Complete First Season.
