Darkness falls across the land… Glee‘s post-Superbowl episode is close at hand. And according to the promos Fox aired last night, that episode will be nothing short of a spectacular spectacular.
We’re especially excited to see more of the Cheerios dancing around with purple wigs and blazing batons (and flaming boobs as well?), to learn why, exactly, there appears to be some kind of cannon on the McKinley High football field, to hear the rest of New Directions’ “Thriller”/”Heads Will Roll” mashup, and to find out what prompts Sue Sylvester to bark the word “vomit” as only Sue could.
The promos are below; they’re from YouTube, though, so the quality is less than perfect. If you find yourself wanting more — and we know you will — check out our gallery of preview pictures and Tim Stack’s exclusive report from the set of the episode. And if that’s still not enough, EW’s Glee Central is the perfect cure for what ails you.

I watch this show for Sue Sylvester. I think we could be seeing some crazy comedy from her in this one! But as a UK fan I’ll have to wait. We’ve just had Grilled Cheesus
Most severely overrated show on television.
Lol, then don’t watch it. It’s not like this show is Jersey Shore or something, so STFU.
Jesus then don’t come on here and talk about it. Honestly how long will the argument of “if you don’t like the show don’t click on posts about it and hate on it.” shiiiiit it is getting old…
Grilled Cheesus is the best episode ever! Made me love Kurt even more than I did before! I’m really looking forward to Glee returning… it just makes me smile.
Wait till you see Kurt looking all gangsta!
People bashing Glee is actually becoming more annoying than the show itself.
Looks like another bloated, awful episode.
Vicious Sue
+ Wemma
- Crying Kurt
+ ambitious Rachel
+ buffed Finn
+ deeper Mercedes
+ MJ Tribute
+ Janet Tribute
- other tributes
+ more of Puck, Quinn and the whole Fab Twelve
- gueststars
= second Emmy in September!
My bad, *first* Emmy.
I think this episode from the looks of it will get Jane Lynch her second.
Hells yes. THIS.
exactly
Puck and Finn being friends again will be awesome
This show has gotten too gay
It’s always been gay if you consider musicals that way. I still don’t think that it is a pure out and out sitcom like Modern Family, Cheers, Frasier etc. It is a comedy drama and it enters the sitcom category so that it doesn’t lose to Mad Men.
But when it comes to comedy no one can touch Jane Lynch. Sue Sylvester is pure comedy and one of the finest comic creations since Niles Crane.
Actually, I believe it goes into the category ‘Best Musical or Comedy’, and it is a musical. I also think it’s more comic than dramatic, so on the scales of comedy and drama, I think it’s tipping towards comedy.
KJ, Feeling a little insecure are we?
Actually Jackie I checked and at The Emmys it is in the category of Best Comedy Series. I’m not sure that hour long dramas with bits of comedy should be classed as comedy series.
And I think that is what works against it. At the Television Critics Awards, Producers Guild and Emmys it lost out to Modern Family which is mostly pure laughs.
Apologies. At the Golden Globes, which was just on a couple of weeks ago, they do Best Musical or Comedy Series. Not all hour-long shows are dramas, and I wouldn’t classify ‘Glee’ as a drama with bits of comedy. I would actually go the other way around. It’s like ‘Pushing Daisies’ – primarily comedy, but with dramatic moments.
Anyone find it weird that the article on Ryan Murphy vs. Kings of Leon has disappeared – and practically all the comments were speaking out against Ryan? Odd …
I found it using a simple search. Odd…

Love Jane Lynch but this story gives me one more reason not to watch the (yawn) Super Bowl. Trying to remember last time it was actually SUPER!
Let us know what you do instead that day, we’ll all be waiting with anticipation to hear from you!
they are not doing MJ’s thriller and they need to make that clear. they are doing a zombie dance to the song “heads will roll”. they are using mj’s thriller to hype this show when it has nothing to do with it at all. where is the estate on this?
From the clips I saw they did a bit of Thriller.
Love Glee but think the show is headed in the wrong direction. Too many guest stars, too much Kurt, Finn can’t forgive Rachel for kissing Puck but he can forgive Quinn for sleeping with him and then trying to pass Puck’s baby off as Finns? In what alternate universe would a guy do that? Finn needs to be w/Rachel and we need more Will and Emma. Mercedes needs a man and how about giving Quinn and Puck a chance? Ryan Murphy needs to remember what made Glee so successful and get back to it!
I agree with Kat. Glee has to be careful with too much stunt casting. I know it helps increase ratings, but I’m not sure getting a big star is better than just casting a good unknown actor for a role.
