Gleebasing: ‘Spears Is Fierce, Yo’

There is no way to cram six Britney Spears songs into an episode of Glee organically. Or so viewers learned last night when Ryan Murphy materialized in millions of U.S. homes viewers (at once, like Santa Claus), slipped them a gnarled episode that he engineered himself and fled into the night so that his audience could experience a mediocre high with hallucinations of Uncle Jesse from Full House . “Britney/Brittany” was traumatic and disappointing and no doubt left you itching for a hit of Glee , the way Murphy used to make it. Rather than hitting the streets in desperation, review the highs and lows with Movieline below. As always, there will be a pop quiz at the end — so pay attention!

Dancing with the Stars sent another amateur trotter to the glue factory last night, and girls, it was not sad. The losing dancer was downright surly for how inevitable his/her elimination was, and we caught it all on tape. Or rather, the Internet did. (It’s faster than I am.)

Ratings for Britney Spears Episode of Glee Hit Series High

Mr. Schuester would be so proud (and creepy ). The Britney Spears fever dream episode of Glee drew in 13.3 million viewers, making it even bigger than the Madonna episode in the spring. According to Fox, “this is the first time in 17 years that the highest-rated entertainment program of premiere week grew in Week 2 among adults 18-49 and total viewers (since Fall ’93, Seinfeld ).” Expect to see an all-Christina Aguilera episode sometime in season three.
