I thought exactly the same. :shock: I've never watched Glee and after seeing this I'm not interested in watching further clips or whole episodes.

When will this be on in the uk? American hallowe'en specials tend to air here at christmas, and the christmas ones in summer

January.

watched it last night here in ireland? why so late in the uk?

I've just been away from Thursday for cricket and all the girls are Glee-aholics and are talking about the Rocky Horror ep this week and are suprised when I say Meat & Barry will be in it

I think the only reason a lot of people watched this episode of Glee was because Mr Loaf was on it. I'm not a fan to be honest, and Bubbles is 100% right, they did make a High School Musical thing out of Rocky Horror.

Not sure, but it is usually the way. Presumably the rights get cheaper after a while.

The only reason on HERE why people watched Glee is because of Meat, the show is well watched regardless. I watch Glee and I enjoy it, it's a bit of harmless nonsense on TV. I'm not a Rocky Horror fan at all, but Glee made it more bearable.

Of course bubbles is 100% right, that's hardly a revelation, it's obvious. The show is based in an High School and they did Rocky Horror, what the f*ck did you expect?

Glee, in a year and a half, has amassed more no. 1's than the Beatles. They are doing something right!

are you sure?:lol:
Glee being compared to the Beatles.

I saw the Rocky Horror Glee CD at Target today. 7 songs from the show just last week. Mass produced, on the shelf and $6.99 US.

Glee helped win over many new fans to Rocky Horror. We had a lot of "Gleeks" come to our show this weekend that would not have come prior, and talking with some of them after the show...they really enjoyed the movie!

Excellent :))

Glee hasn't been compared to The Beatles, just a factual record of them having more No.1's has. Drumbum could've used any number of artists and still be factually correct.

I'm not a Gleek, but after watching the show I'd probably give a live performance of Rocky Horror a shot.

Not as a fan, but as a director of a live shadowcast version of the movie, I would say to people who are not very interested in the movie to give going to see it in a live interactive setting a shot. I hate the movie alone, but love the live experience.

Just a reminder to all the Aussies, it's on tonight at 7.30 on channel 10!!!!!!!!! :-)

Wow - pretty impressive achievement for Glee there then! However, although I haven't seen the Glee version yet, I would caution that the Rocky Horror Show theatre audience is probably somewhat more... adult... than the general Glee audience. I think you have to also be quite open minded to eg stand at a urinal where other guys are wearing fish nets and panties :lol:

Well not long now, counting down the minutes, 10 minutes to go!!!!!!!! :-)

We actually had some patrons say "you should have done it like GLEE, they did it better" - to which I wanted to say "you should have stayed at home, Rocky Horror is an R-rated movie, and I know you are not 17."

I wonder how many agree HP was the only song glee got (sorta :roll:) right?

I think Glee got all the songs right that they performed for the audience that they were performing to. As Dave pointed out, it's an R rated movie and Glee's main target audience is teenagers.

It is what it is. It was a successful marketing tool for Fox to get the word out about Rocky. It helped put over 600 people in the seats over Halloween weekend in my theater alone - most shows across the US were completely sold out as well. However, it was not such a good thing for the Rocky Horror fan.

Glee isn't about the existing fan base though is it? It's about generating new fans through the medium of a popular TV show, hence the more amd more frequent cameo appearances by the original stars. I read recently that Springsteen has been approached about having a show dedicated to his music, along with the cameo, pretty sure it's been ruled out though (which as a long time fan is good news having heard what they did to Fire on the show aired over here at the weekend).

Don't see why not, it brought Rocky Horror to a wider audience generating new Rocky Horror fans, surely that's a good thing?

Not when a show is billed as an "interactive" and "audience participation" experience and you have high schoolers (who are under the age of 17 and should not have been sold tickets anyway) complaining that people are "talking during the movie" and "don't want to get messy" from things thrown at them. That is part of the experience. The movie is intolerable without the audience fun.
