    Wow, can’t wait! I have ‘Once more with feeling’ on DVD and have watched it at least 20 times and know all the songs by heart!! Combined with the clever wit of Glee, this promises to be a fantastic episode!

    You have got to love Joss Whedon – his ideas are amazing and he a great director. Buffy, Angel and Dollhouse – all great shows and ‘Once more with feeling’ was such an awesome episode of Buffy.

    Don’t always watch Glee but will definitely tune in for this one.

    I know who Joss is but never watced a lot of Buffy so i have no idea what you are all so excited about … however, I am Loving Glee!!!
    I love shows with musical numbers (one reason that I loved Eli Stone!) life should be like that, we should all burst into brilliantly choreographed dance numbers every day! Very Bollywood!
    Jack!

    ‘Once More With Feeling’ was one of the best episodes of Buffy ever. Can’t wait to see what the Joss Man does with Glee!

    As you say David, Bring. It. On.

    I did hear though that there could be an order for another nine episodes of Doll House though… (Depending on Ratings etc…)

    Given Buffy: Once More With Feeling & Dr Horrible I should have seen this coming.

    Well looking forward to it.

    If I wasn’t already watching Glee I would be so regretting that right now and wishing I had. Joss is a suberb lyricist.
