About this episode

It’s May 19, 2009 you just watched the first episode of a new TV show called Glee. You can’t sit still, you feel alive, like you want to sing everything instead of speaking. 

But how did we get here? What’s the real story behind the show?  Well for starters…The original script was much darker, an iconic character…not included and Justin Timberlake, was in the mix?! 

Creator Ryan Murphy joins Kevin and Jenna and takes us through the show's brightest of lights and the darkest of days, including the loss of Glee family members. 

It’s time to start believin’ as we go behind the curtain, in part 1 of a very special 2-part opening number of “And That’s What You REALLY Missed!”
