I'm looking forward to tonight's episode too. LOVED Rocky Horror and am excited to see what Glee does with it.
An aside: Anyone ever seen the other movie that the Rocky Horror guys made? I think it's called Shock Treatment or something. An unmitigated disaster of epic proportions. It was what Rocky Horror would be if it weren't considered a cult classic.

I've seen Shock Treatment. Or at least I think I did, though when I explain it to people it sounds more like a dream: "It's got the same characters as Rocky Horror, but it's set in a tv studio, except the tv studio is in a mental institution. And the tv audience kind of lives there, like they sleep there and stuff and wake up when it's time for the show. And Dame Edna is in it, but not as Dame Edna, as the actual guy, and he's playing a male character. . . and . . . and . . ."

LOL.
They had a perfect option for FnF, and chose someone else instead.
Also, keep in mind that whatever parts of Rocky Horror they use are going to be whatever Fox deems acceptable for 8 p.m. with a show about teens, so expect some lyrics to be changed.

I'm not a fan of Glee (my daughter is), but I'm watching it tonight. Gotta see what they do to it.
I thought it was faboo! Worth the wait. I loved the toucha toucha toucha touch me. The girls were faboo.
The whole thing gets a 10 from this longtime Rocky Horror fan who dressed up on Friday nights and threw toast and went on stage right in front of the big screen to act it out. (-:

After this episode, I'm convinced Will Schuster needs serious therapy. Okay now, really: he was going to perform "Toucha Toucha Touch Me" with Rachel, right? I know, we saw him rehearse with Emma, gotcha, nice scene. But the rationale was he was going to be Rocky. In low-cut golden undies. In front of the whole school. Acting like he was coming onto Rachel-as-Janet.
Damn, I am officially old, because that bothered me immensely. Yeah, I know, that was the whole point. Still. Even before that cast change, I found myself extremely uncomfortable watching the episode.
I love Rocky Horror, a la midnight showings with audience participation. But watching the Glee tribute made me feel all squicky.
(And now, for the Hypocrisy Award: The first time I saw RHPS I was 11. My friends and I snuck out during a sleepover and saw it in the East Village, NYC, in the early 1980s. A lot of it went right over my head. But I had fun throwing things.)
Sigh. Like I said. I'm old. Damn.
The performances were really good -- John Stamos doing "Hot Patootie" was fabulous. And it was neat seeing the role reversal of a guy being self-conscious of his looks. (But I swear, the Mom in me kept shouting, "If he's uncomfortable performing in his underwear, he shouldn't perform in his underwear!")
I'd really like to see a non-themed episode - meaning, no more Britney/Rocky Horror-type episodes, and instead get back to the songs supporting a plot-driven script. Please? Pretty please? With sugar on top?

I was interested in all the words deemed unfit for tv. Transexual. Heavy petting and Seat-wetting?
We were just discussing this at our house. Remember when the songs weren't all performances, but rather peeks into the characters' psyches? And this is the first ep of the season that showed any of the adults' storylines.

Well I certainly wasn't arguing for fewer musical numbers, just for more weaving the songs into the story like they did in season 1.
