Can't most of the info on the episode pages be included on the season page (credits, songs used, etc.)? An entire page dedicated to one episode of a series is really unneccessary. Any thoughts about merging the titles? —Preceding unsigned comment added by D4c3nt3n0 ( talk • contribs) 16:49, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
the season numbers are wrong, they are the same number as the episode how can it be that every episode makes up a season? episode 1 is season 1, episode 2 is season 2, episode 3 is season 3 and so on can someone please fix this cos i don't know how to and think i will just mess it up —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.214.62.244 ( talk) 20:31, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Is this a good enough source to start up the "Regionals" page? It quotes Ryan Murphy talking about Sue's appearance as a sectionals judge, so I think it should be a sufficient start. CycloneGU ( talk) 18:52, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
[Outdent] FTR, I've started drafting an article for the finale episode in my sandbox, so if anyone comes across any useful information, please feel free to add it. Frickative 12:47, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
The second paragraph of the lead section is, as my subject says, superfluous and outdated since it concerns only the first season. I would rather have it removed than updated, seeing as how it's not really pertinent to this page. I know other such "List of episodes" articles sometimes provide a mini-summary to orient readers, but I believe it detracts from the main objective (or purpose) of this article.
Or, if most people prefer to keep it, then the whole thing should be expanded to include season 2 as the show progresses. After all, a mini-summary of sorts is not found on the already quite loaded main article, nor is a "Plot" section. So, what do you think? Should the synopsis 1. be moved to the main article and expanded, 2. be kept here and expanded, or 3. be dumped altogether?

Is the New York Post considered a reliable source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.82.184.211 ( talk) 21:20, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
I can't edit the season 2 episodes for some reason, but the airdate for Born This Way is wrong. I looked at the source listed and nowhere in the article does it mention an airdate for the episode. If it's not sourced, then it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. DianeKurohyou ( talk) 02:48, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
"It was thought Ryan Murphy was planning to start graduating the characters at the end of season 3 and bring in new characters[59] but Jenna Ushkowitz, who plays Tina Cohen-Chang, later clarified this as a misunderstanding.[60]"
From the first moment i heard this, even before it was revealed to be a misunderstanding, i inferred that the main characters were going to graduate but they would in no means be less important to the plot, but just that instead of mainly high school and teacher storylines, there would now also be university/college storylines etc., probably becoming intertwined romantically etc with the teacher storylines. But that's original research isn't it... ...-- Coin945 ( talk) 15:02, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
A recent change to the top table has changed the start of season 1 to the date of "Showmance" on September 9, 2010, rather than the date of "Pilot". Is this really correct?
If it is, then other things need to change: all the tables that include "Pilot" in the list of season 1 episodes—do we set up a separate table for the pilot?—and so on.
The Glee internal numbering counts "Pilot" as episode 1 in a 22 episode season. I think we should go with that, and return the start date to May 19, 2010; what does everyone else think? — BlueMoonset ( talk) 16:44, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
This is an American show, why is the episode "Rumors" spelled the British way? Shouldn't it be spelled the American way? 67.82.184.211 ( talk)
Oops, I see now. OK, my bad. I just saw the British spelling and was confused, never even connected it to the Fleetwood Mac album. 67.82.184.211 ( talk) 23:36, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
At the present time, although there has been a great deal of talk about Season 4, including from the Fox entertainment president, the fact remains that Fox has yet to officially announce that Glee has been renewed for a fourth season.
As such, it is not yet appropriate to include it in the season tables on this page (nor to start an article on it), given WP:CRYSTAL: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and even if we think something is extremely likely and the next best thing to certain, until there's that official announcement, my reading is that we shouldn't list it yet.
In the section about the season four plans, the wording has to be very careful: to say that the actors have "confirmed" that "there would be a season 4" ignores the fact that they only know what they've been told—they aren't the people who make the decisions. They can confirm that they're happy to be in a fourth season, but it's Fox who has the say: Kevin Reilly is a source for this situation, and Ryan Murphy is good for what's being planned.
Thoughts on how to proceed until the formal renewal is announced? BlueMoonset ( talk) 22:39, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Agreed, without confirmation from Fox or Ryan Murphy, it's speculation. There's been talk from the actors before that has since been clarified or recanted (who was leaving at the end of season 3, that there might be a spin-off...) It's better off to delete it, and then re-add it when it is confirmed that it has been renewed for another season. 67.82.184.211 ( talk) 08:17, 19 January 2012 (UTC) ShadowHunterKurohyou
