So, keep reading for some of the series’ most iconic moments. Still, rewatching the series - and reliving it through hilarious Glee quotes - lets us embrace the good times.
Granted, the show has a bit of a heartbreaking legacy now. Oh, and we’d definitely be remiss not to mention that the show gave us the fierce woman (force of nature, really!) that is Jane Lynch as cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester. Pierce, Chord Overstreet as Sam Evans, Darren Criss as Blaine Anderson, and Cory Monteith as Finn Hudson. Is it really any wonder there are so many Glee quotes that have been preserved in pop culture memory?Īnd that’s to say nothing of the many careers the musical series practically launched: Lea Michele as Rachel Berry, Matthew Morrison as Will Schuester, Kevin McHale as Artie Abrams, Naya Rivera as Santana Lopez, Amber Riley as Mercedes Jones, Chris Colfer as Kurt Hummel, Heather Morris as Brittany S. At the same time, those serious cultural conversations were set against the backdrop of… a glee club. Set in high school (the fictional William McKinley High School, to be exact), it took off the kid-gloves to deal with pressing social issues facing teens - like sexuality, race, and romantic relationships. When Glee premiered back in 2009, it proved to be the phenomenon no one saw coming.
