From our guide to Glee:

The idea for Glee came to Ian Brennan in 2005. He was working as an actor in New York City (a literal dream-come-true for any Midwestern theater geek) and had a flashback to his days as a show choir performer back in Mount Prospect, Illinois. Inspired by these memories, the inexperienced writer composed a darkly funny screenplay about a high school glee club, queried the script, and, like many fledgling writers, met with plenty of rejection along the way.

But when the script landed in the lap of Nip/Tuck producer Ryan Murphy - himself a former show choir singer from Indiana - the idea grew legs. Murphy suggested that he, Brennan, and fellow Nip/Tuck writer Brad Falchuk use the screenplay as a jumping-off point for a television series. Brennan agreed, and Glee premiered on the Fox network in spring of 2009 to immediate critical praise and ratings validation. Glee was a hit!

In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Brennan discussed his Illinois roots and the inspiration for the show. He explained that there’s an obvious ridiculousness about show choir that’s comical. But there’s also a genuine desire to transcend ordinary life, to rise to stardom, that Brennan wanted to capture in his script.

From our guide to The Walking Dead:

What happens after the end of the world? When all of society has collapsed, and any sense of safety is fleeting or illusory, is it possible to survive while still remaining fundamentally human – both literally and figuratively? It’s questions like these that have propelled AMC’s The Walking Dead in the ratings upon its record-shattering debut in fall of 2010. Since then, the series has been as irresistible and tasty for viewers as said viewers would be to the man-eating creatures in the show.

Adapted from a comic book created by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead is a visually and emotionally visceral depiction of man’s downfall in the aftermath of a horrifying zombie apocalypse. Starring Andrew Lincoln in the lead role of Georgia sheriff Rick Grimes, the show is currently in the midst of its second season, and continues to enthrall audiences with its somber meditations on violence, religion, humanity, and inhumanity - all woven in with gut-wrenching (and gut-munching) bouts of zombie violence proving the very definition of “bloody good TV.”

From our guide to The Big Bang Theory:

Who knew that a show about nerds would be so unspeakably cool? That a UCLA particle physics professor would be hired to ensure scientific accuracy throughout a 30 minute CBS sitcom?

Apparently, the producers and creators of the smash hit The Big Bang Theory did, and the show now boasts some 12 million viewers a week. And it seems that the show is also inspiring would-be and current physicists (and other scientists, too); according to the show’s science consultant, Dr. David Saltzberg of UCLA, emails are received from both high school and graduate students asking him about certain scientific aspects of the show.

He also notes that there was a lot of background work that the writers did prior to shooting, such as following graduate students around and exploring what a physicist’s apartment might actually look like. According to Saltzberg, a real physicist’s apartment was a bit too boring, so the producers had to dress up Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment a little. But, the science itself was spot on.
