My bad that's what i get for trying to do tha at work from my phone...
What i was going to ask was is this a good idea or not? I'm sure it will be good but i'm worried it will be too sanitized. And Uncle Jesse as a sweet transvestite from transexual transylvania? I just dont know... but they haven't disappointed me yet.
Again, sorry about the false start

Oh it was sanitized.

They are discussing this over on the glee thread. They even have some links to the songs up.

You know, I've been a fan of RHPS for about twenty years and I have always said, "What Sweet Transvestite lacks and needs is melisma and autotune."
I've been a fan for 30 years and as much as i don't like what glee did to the songs and switching genders, I will probably peek in on the show. glee was fun the first season but lately I am not as into it. That church scene with the choir just annoyed me.

Did I just read that one of the young women is doing "Sweet Transvestite"?

Yes. She's a sweet transvestite from sensational Transylvania.
Also, it sounds like she's only singing like two notes.

Oh, my - I didn't listen to it, so I missed that part.
Thankfully, I don't watch this show.

Me either, but I checked out the clip of that song. I wonder if all the melodies were rewritten to just be a couple of notes that just get run uppppppp and downnnnnnn.
Here is what I don't understand, last week I caught the scene with the two girls on the bed necking. They can show that but have to change the lyrics to songs in Rocky Horror?
That's a very good question, unc.

What gets me is the total mind f*ckery of allowing Transvestite to be said, but not its PC version transsexual...

Ir Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family had played Mr. Schu would Glee have won the best comedy Emmy?

Touch-A Touch-A Touch-A Touch me has new lyrics, too!
All of these concerns are valid, but- Sam is going to wear those tight gold shorts, and nothing else. That makes everything else ok by me!

See, if I want porn I look at porn. I don't need to go to network tv to get off.
Glee Sucks
Im probably more of a die hard Rocky fanatic than most on this board. I also watch Glee although I'm hardly a "Gleek" or fanatical over it. That said, I'm still pretty pleased they're doing an episode devoted to Rocky (edited or not).
RHPS is, in a way, a living and breathing thing that needs new blood in order to survive. Having the biggest show on tv that's aimed at the very people that will keep Rocky alive for years to come can only be a good thing in the end. It will create renewed interest in some and will make a whole lot of others seek it out and fall in love with it for the first time.
Like Martha Stewart says, it a good thing.

Sam is wearing gold lame board shorts, not a bikini as in the original.

Sort off. He starts off in this:
but ends in this:
Why did they change any of the lyrics, if they're willing to do scenes like like a v***** (don't know if that's allowed :s) and teenagers getting pregnant, why are they bothered about saying transsexual
