"Each episode has a theme at its core. After I write the script, I will choose songs that help to move the story along." - Ryan Murphy (Script Writer)
"Glee manages the balance well; it has a strong satiric pulse that doesn’t diminish the characters’ identities or dim the showmanship of a talented cast." - New York Times 18th May 2009
