The Glee DVD Disc Sets - Clearing Up The Confusion

Are you a Gleek? If so, you've likely already picked up the season 1 Glee DVD and several Glee singles from Amazon. If you're not sure what a Gleek is (it means you are a geek for Glee) or if you are simply feeling a little behind the eight ball, no need to worry.

The Glee season 1 DVDs can be somewhat confusing, and the fairly odd release dates of the various discs has angered a few people. As such, I thought I would give you a brief run down on each of the Glee DVD releases, so you will know what to get if you're trying to plug that gleeky hole in your life.

The Glee Complete First Season (a 7 disc set): If you're unfamiliar with Glee and don't own any of the DVDs, this is what you need. Released on Sept 14th, 2010, the complete season one of Glee has: all twenty two episodes from season one and a variety of bonus features and "inside" Glee pieces (e.g., Glee karaoke, dancing with Glee, Sue Sylvester's Corner, dress like your favorite Glee member, and more).

Glee Season 1, Vol 1: Road To Sectionals: This box set includes only the first 13 episodes from Glee's first season. It was released toward the end of December in 2009 to feed the Glee addiction of those who waited for the 2nd half of Glee's first season to air in the spring. It includes all the episodes aired from September - December in 2009. You should only purchase this DVD set if you already have Season 1 Vol 2: Road To Regionals and are looking to complete your collection of Glee's first season. If not, the entire first season of Glee typically costs less than this set of 13 episodes from the first part of season 1.

Glee Season 1, Volume 2: Road To Regionals: This DVD set includes solely the last 9 episodes from Glee's first season. It was released by 20th Century Fox in mid September of 2010 prior to the launch of Glee season 2. It comes with episodes 14 through 22 which aired from April 2010 - June 2010. You should only purchase this Glee DVD set if you already have Season 1 Volume 1: Road To Sectionals and are looking to complete your dvd collection of Glee's first season. If not, the complete first season of Glee typically costs less than this set of nine episodes from the second half of Glee season 1.

I hope that clears up any confusion you've had when seeing an array of Glee DVDs for season 1!
