Title: The Rocky Horror Glee Show
Episode: Season 2, Episode 5 (2.05)
Air Date: October 26, 2010
Written by: Ryan Murphy, Tim Wollaston
Directed by: Adam Shankman
U.S. Viewers: 11.76 million

Summary / Synopsis:

When Mr. Schue finds out Emma is a Rocky Horror Picture Show fan he decides then and there that the glee club should do a Rocky Horror musical. Coach Sylvester takes a personal interest in the production as does Emma’s current boyfriend Dr. Carl.

Dianna Agron (Quinn Fabray) may look sweet and cute here but wait until she breaks out in song and dance. 

For some reason, somehow, somewhere a bunch of people got the idea that Glee is supposed to be a wholesome family show. This could be due to the early episodes that highlighted Quinn’s religion and abstinence. As we all know that went out the door really fast. All it took was Puck, some wine coolers and a compliment to end that fantasy. When it did happen there was some outcry from select viewers about the morality of it.

Now there’s the whole GQ photo scandal. The Parent Television Council (PTC) is claiming the GQ photos were bordering on pedophilia and that it was near pornographic. Dianna Agron (Quinn) even posted an apology about it on her blog but she was well aware of the GQ market and did also mention celebrities like Madonna and Britney pushing the envelope.

That brings us to question, have the people up in arms ever watched the show? Glee has had episodes dedicated to some of the raunchiest female music stars around. Madonna and Britney who can get very explicit in live shows have been done, Lady Gaga who prances around nearly nude and wears meat bikinis has her own episode and it’s only a matter of time before others get their spotlight in the Glee-sphere.

So, I would warn the sensitive types that before they watch The Rocky Horror Glee Show episode stop and think. This episode is based on a movie that although comedic is also largely about sex and transvestite aliens. During the whole show people dance around in skimpy lingerie, talk about and have sex with each other and then sing about it. If you are sensitive or you have kids this may be a good episode to skip.
