Glee

[NOTE: This episode is scheduled to start at 8:58 p.m.]

Who knew that the original "Glee" pilot that aired after "American Idol" in May was just a cutdown of Ryan Murphy's director's cut?

TV critics, actually. We received a longer version of the pilot and apparently an even longer version existed before that.

In any case, one week before "Glee" really kicks off its first season, FOX is reairing the pilot, specifically Ryan Murphy's extended director's cut. So even if you're a Gleek, there may be a couple minutes here or there that you haven't seen.

Meanwhile, FOX is just airing the heck out of that "Glee" pilot this week. Tune in again on Friday and you can see a tweet-peat of the pilot, with cross promotion with Twitter. That's a lot of "Glee."
