"Loser Like Me" is the premiere episode of the sixth season of the American musical television series Glee, and the 109th overall. The episode was written by all the series creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan, directed by Bradley Buecker, and first aired on January 9, 2015 on Fox in the United States along with the next episode, "Homecoming", as a special two-hour premiere.

The episode features the start of a new school year at McKinley High, but Principal Sylvester (Jane Lynch) has disbanded all the arts. Following the epic failure of the very first episode of her semi-autobiographical live TV series, Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) is decided to reinstate the arts and reviving New Directions at McKinley with the help of her best friend Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer). Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) is now the coach of the Dalton Academy Warblers, and Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) is coaching McKinley’s bitter rivals, Vocal Adrenaline.

The episode received positive reviews from critics, most of them remarking how the episode reminds of Glee's first seasons.

After Rachel Berry’s (Lea Michele) television show, That’s So Rachel, was a huge failure, she returns to her home in Lima and finds out that her parents are getting divorced and selling her childhood home.

Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) is the coach of the Dalton Academy Warblers, because he started failing all of his NYADA classes and got kicked out after the break-up of his relationship with Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer). Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet) is the Assistant football coach at McKinley High, and helps Coach Beiste (Dot-Marie Jones). Kurt, at NYADA, is allowed to leave school and New York because of a work-study program. He goes back to Lima to get Blaine back. Rachel goes to the Lima school board and convinces the superintendent to reinstate New Directions, but he wants Rachel to lead it. She asks Kurt for his help and Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) opposes. Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) is now the coach of New Direction's rival, Vocal Adrenaline.
