Season 2 of Fame. This was one of my favorite shows (and movies and songs). Season 1 already came out a long time ago but the ownership rights changed so seasons 1 and 2 finally came out both packaged together and individually (I already have the previous season 1 set and there weren't any bonus features on the new release so there was no reason to buy the new season 1 set)
I'm in no hurry to see the new movie - no connection with the original (even though Debbie Allen's in it, she plays a different character) and they RUINED the song. I'll see it when it hits the cheap movie theaters.
That was such a good show - i feared i wouldn't like it as much rewatching it after years but it holds up well. Lots of talent on that show (kind of sad that a lot of the cast members didn't go on to wider acclaim afterwards). Nia Peeples in on there two years before she became a regular character (in a one scene-three sentence bit part) and is Nancy "Bart Simpson" Cartright in her first appearance as recurring character Muffy. This was one of those few shows about high school that was watchable and enjoyable by kids, teens, and adults and where students and faculty were three-dimensional well-written and well-acted (Valerie Landsburg as Doris Schwartz was my all time favorite up until Carrie Hamilton joined the cast in season five). This was their last season on NBC - the show would then survive its cancellation as a syndicated show for four more years. A really nice trip down Memory Lane.
The Peanuts 1960s collection will probably be my next non-Henson dvd purchase.
