This week we are taking a listen to the soundtrack for the forthcoming ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW homage ala GLEE with a rundown of the second season of the hit Golden Globe-winning musical dramedy series and how it stacks up to last season. Additionally, we take a peek at one of the most famous musicals numbers from the cult classic score - 'Time Warp' featuring all of the central Glee club cast-members of the show, among them Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Dianna Agron and Chris Colfer. The soundtrack also contains a special appearance by John Stamos - late of Broadway's recent BYE BYE BIRDIE, and the other Roundabout revivals of NINE and CABARET - who sings the song made famous by a then unknown Meat Loaf in 1975 who will be making an appearance himself on the episode when it airs October 26th on Fox. So, come up to the lab and see what's on the slab a whole week early as we take a peak at the soundtrack and some special video clips from THE ROCKY HORROR GLEE SHOW.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, last night's Britney-themed episode of GLEE brought in a staggering 13.3 million viewers - they're highest rating yet and a 4% increase from last week's 'mammoth' season opener. The episode not only featured a musical tribute to Spears, it featured Spears, herself. John Stamos also made a guest appearance as a dentist and purveyor of the anesthesia that sends Heather into her Britney fantasies.
In the 'Britney/Brittany' episode, MR. SCHUESTER Matthew Morrison insists that the glee club perform adult contemporary music at the school assembly, but the kids have other plans. As New Directions mounts its campaign to perform Britney Spears' greatest hits, they learn that their own BRITTANY Heather Morris has a connection to the famous performer. Meanwhile, Will meets EMMA's Jayma Mays new love interest, DR. CARL John Stamos, who sparks a rivalry between the two men as they vie for her attention.
Oh baby, baby. Here comes Brittany... and Britney! During rehearsal, Kurt informs his fellow Glee Clubbers that a Facebook group has been created to entice New Directions to perform a Britney Spears song at the big assembly that week. The idea of performing Britney Spears's music does not sit well with Mr. Schuester, whose assignment for the week is the music of easy listening artists like Michael Bolton and Christopher Cross.
The sophomore season of GLEE, the biting musical comedy that has quickly become a pop-culture phenomenon, kicked off last week and tonight's episode airs 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT on FOX!
