'Glee' lands post-Super Bowl slot, plans 'Thriller' video performance
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers won't be the only ones out to wow America on Super Bowl Sunday. Those scrappy underdogs from Fox's musical sensation, "Glee," are also bringing their "A" game.
Airing directly after the title clash, "Glee" will present a massive song-and-dance homage to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. With a price tag reported in the $3-5 million range, it's the show's most expensive episode to date.
Thus continues the grand television tradition of trying to milk the plum post-Super Bowl time slot for all its worth. Knowing that it's the biggest showcase of the year, networks typically bank on the slot to launch a new series — as CBS did with "Undercover Boss" last year — or to boost the profile of an existing show.
casting an image "Glee," which already has a robust fan base, might not seem like a natural fit with the football crowd. That undoubtedly explains why it will open Sunday's episode with a dance number featuring cheerleaders and plenty of skin — the better to keep male viewers in their seats. It recalls the sexy stunts deployed by past Super Sunday shows, including "3rd Rock From the Sun" (a Cindy Crawford guest stint), "Grey's Anatomy" (a steamy shower fantasy) and "Alias" (Jennifer Garner slinking around in lingerie).
Not every post-Super Bowl TV show is a winner, of course. In 2007, CBS coughed up a fumble with a gloomy episode of "Criminal Minds" that had James Van Der Beek playing a serial killer.

A spokeswoman for the duo said there would be no further comment beyond the announcement.

Its last studio album, "Icky Thump," came in 2007 and reached No.2 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. The duo collected four Grammy Awards, and Jack White picked up a fifth related to his work in the White Stripes as the writer of "Seven Nation Army," named best rock song for 2003.
