Last season was only a week behind the American shows wasn't it? How come we have to wait until January - I can't wait that long, it's killing me!!
The show is starting the same time as it did last year. With the midseason break and other gaps in the US (sometimes there'll be a week with no Glee to catch up on filming) it means that about halfway/two-thirds of the way through the season we'll be a week behind them.
