Glee - The Sue Sylvester Shuffle

I was fortunate enough to watch two episodes of Glee with my daughter.  Here I was thinking this was the new season and it is actually halfway through season two!  Anyway, 'The Sue Sylvester Shuffle' is an unusual name for the episode.  It is actually the one where the Coach and Will have ahd enough of the rivalry between the football team and the Glee Club so they decide to bring the two teams together.  It is a week away from the Championship Football match and the closet Gay, Dave, shows he has the chops to be a performer but is too afraid to let himself go and fights it to the end.  He even threatens to quit the team and the Coach lets him and the other boys go.  This gives the girls of Glee the opportunity to step up and join the football team so they don't lose.
Sue's link in all this is that she gets the Cheerio/Glee girls to quite Glee to take part in the Cheerleading Regionals (threatening to blast Brittney from a cannon!).  Whithout the cheerleaders, the Glee club is diminishing in numbers rapidly.  Finn comes to the rescue and shows why he's the natural leader, especially to Quinn!
The big Thriller/Heads Will Roll mash up was brilliant.  Thsi show was initially shown after the Superbowl and was the most expensive post-Superbowl television show ever produced and the most expensive episode of Glee ever costing between $3 and 5 million!  Not quite sure I can see where all this was spent!  Lastly Katie Couric makes an appearance interviewing Sue on her loss!  Excellent.
