“Nip/Tuck” creator Ryan Murphy is getting into the “American Idol” spirit with “Glee,” a hourlong comedy that has been put on the fast track by Fox for a potential March launch.The project, set in the world of high school glee clubs, was greenlighted immediately after the network received the script.
Following the racy “Nip/Tuck,” Murphy was looking to exercise different creative muscles with a wholesome comedy that the entire family can watch.
“It is a very optimistic, uplifting show for a very dark time,” he said of “Glee.”
“Glee” centers on Will, a thirtysomething teacher at an Ohio high school, who has the daunting task of taking over the school’s dreadful glee club. With help from Will and others, the kids build their confidence and are gradually transformed into winners.
