Matthewmorrison_glee_290 FOX has decided to get its heavily hyped series "Glee" a little farther out in front of the fall-premiere crush.

The network released a revised premiere schedule Tuesday morning (July 28) that features both "Glee" and the fall season of "So You Think You Can Dance" moving up a week. Both shows will debut Wednesday, Sept. 9, rather than the previously announced Sept. 16.

Meet the cast of 'Glee'

The change will give "Glee" and "SYTYCD" two weeks to establish themselves against lighter competition. The CW is premiering "America's Next Top Model" on Sept. 9, but ABC, CBS and NBC won't roll out their Wednesday lineups until Sept. 23.

The first two episodes of "Glee" will also get Friday airings on Sept. 11 and 18, which in turn changes the premiere dates for comedies "Brothers" and "'Til Death."

"Brothers" will get an hour-long premiere on Friday, Sept. 25, leading into the new season of "Dollhouse." "'Til Death" joins the schedule on Oct. 2.

cancel greek already, cheesy singing dancing show. maybe if they had real talent on it like britney, gaga or madonna it would work.... perfect example of networths trying to save money.


You are stupid. The show is called Glee and if you would research a lot of the cast have worked professionaly on Broadway. Also it is networks not networth.


And here I thought they were the lighter competition.


Really Meow? You think that Britney Spears has real talent? She is a dried up has been of a singer, her songs are absolutely awful, she is absolutely awful. This cast is going to be great just give them a chance and they will give you what you and everyone wants. A real feel good show for the new fall season.


REALLY! Fox has a show called Glee? Huh? You would think they would promote it or something, maybe to the point that it turns people off because they might think the show tries a little too hard to be 'different' yet at the same time cater to "anyone who ever had a dream"!!! Blah, blah, blah, Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies, here we come...


Yes, FOX has a show called Glee, it ran ONCE last year. Lost 60% of Idols ratings, so I am sure it will get cancelled. Hum, broadway actors big deal, have any one them one a Toni, doubt it. The songs are so annoying on that show. Only thing that can save that show is a hot young talent like GaGa or Britney to ****e it up or a legend like madonna, but doubt they will accossicated themselfs with this show, its a cancellation waiting to happen.


Meow, I was being a little sarcastic. As far as hot young talent, FOX may take the Amer Idol route and have Paul Anka-, Neil Sadaka-, and that British guy from Herman's Hermits-centrific episodes. Who knows, maybe Paula will join the cast as a special ed student.


.. did someone really call gaga hot young TALENT? wow. i respect that she may have had genuine musical ability at one point, but now all i can see is a contrived songwriter who tries way too hard to be edgy and high fashion.

the cast of glee has the vocals to back up the songs they sing and yes, the show is cheesy, but if that's a problem with you.. just don't watch it.

as for the networks trying to save money.. yes, of course, in this economic climate what can you expect? certainly not shelling out millions for a frivolous, self-satisfied poptart like gaga..


I hope Paula joins this show, she will be great, this show needs a real star to ****e it up. Plus I stoped watching Idol last season, once I knew Kara was on it. I am so happy that her song for Cris Cook flopped. Kara has no talent and Paula should never share the stage or a panel with her.


Oh Viv, GaGa is a legend in the making,s he is the madonna of 2009 and going forward. Many traditional un trendy people do no understand gaga and think a cheap show like glee is well made. even my high school play where better than this. Isnt Kalis or something joining the show next season...LOL
