'Glee': Ryan Murphy adds 'Buffy,' 'Chuck' writers for season 3

After two seasons of penning every single episode of "Glee" themselves, show-runners Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan have hired a writing staff. And not just any writers, but seasoned vets including Allison Adler ("Chuck," "No Ordinary Family"), "Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark" re-writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Marti Noxon ("Buffy," "Angel"), Michael Hitchcock (who guest-starred on season one), Matt Hodgson and Ross Maxwell.
How will the mix affect what we see on the screen? Here's to hoping it brings a little cohesion back to the story line. Season 2 wavered a bit in that department although kick-butt performances (and A-list guest stars) helped soften the blow.
According to Deadline.com, the new writers start work on Monday (June 20).

looks like they trying to have good storylines for this next season. Good for them, season 2 sucked.
Never watched any of those shows, but they have a strong following, so obviously those writers do something right. Plus, regarding major plot developments, I'm sure they'll have to get Ryan Murphy's approval anyway. But Murphy's comedic sense when writing the show is fantastic. These guys/gals have big shoes to fill, but I'm excited nonetheless. New ideas to toss around can only make a show fresher (unless you get terrible writers).
Nice! So we'll see super agents and vampires crashing off the stage next season!
In seriousness, sounds like good news. Buffy/Angel shows had pretty good writing... not a fan of chuck but it survives against the odds so I'm guessing it's not bad there either...
I might tune in again cause like Mike K said... season 2 sucked.
Good. Let's hope Marti Noxon writing would improve the show.
