It’s the obvious candidate for unlocking Murphy’s ascendance to household name.

After six seasons and 121 episodes, Glee left behind a legacy of impressive onscreen musical numbers featuring show tunes and chart hits, and a distracting offscreen history filled with scandals and tragedies among its young actors, both of which fueled the show’s fandom of “Gleeks,” who made it one of the most-tweeted-about TV shows in history. Its out-of-the-gate success on Fox landed it on several critics’ best of 2009 lists, and earned it the highest finale rating for a new show in the 2009–10 season. Glee, a show about a fictional high-school glee club from the Midwest, would go on to become Murphy’s most popular work and arguably the turning point in his career.
Other than Popular (1999–2001), a WB teen dramedy that both satirized and stacked up with the likes of its network contemporary Dawson’s Creek, Murphy’s sole television credit was for an unsold pilot starring Delta Burke and Heather Matarazzo called St. In 2010, however, Murphy was only on the cusp of his television takeover. That overlap was a first for Murphy, but also a sign of what was to come for the now-prolific showrunner, christened by The New Yorker in 2018 as “ the most powerful man in TV” and “ king of the streaming boom” by Time in 2019. When it ended 100 episodes later in March of 2010, Murphy’s Glee was already well into its initial season. It’s difficult to recall a time when Ryan Murphy didn’t have a year-round presence on television, but that was the case in the early aughts when Nip/Tuck debuted on FX in July of 2003.
