Members SFK Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 When Carl busts out the Suzanne Somers specials it's DEFINITELY time for me to take my tail to bed. And look at dude from Revenge of the Nerds... complete with Don Johnson and Cybil Shepherd name checks. I love how Donald is subtitled like a perp on "COPS" and how we're pretending Walt is still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 Did you guys know that the voices ofMickey and Minnie were married IRL? He died recently. I forget his name, but Minnie's voiced by Russi Taylor who does voices on The Simpsons, was Gonzo on Muppet Babies, as well as Widget the World Watcher if any of you remember that one.

Members SFK Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 Speaking of Disney though, and I kind of touched on this the other day, ABC would be wise to try to cross promote the musical and teen storylines with some of their tween/teen programming on The Disney Channel. I mean, when you look at it, Starr and them are no more risque (in some cases, tame in comparison) than the kids of Degrassi shown on Teen Nick.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 SFK you took the words right out of my mouth re Carl's video links (love ya Carl ) Was Tam's song a new song? I'd never heard it before. Having seen him in A Chorus Line, the guy can dance his ass off, and I admired that he fully committed to dancing the awful choreography they had him do. And yes, that clock projection effect for Turn Back Time was uber cheap looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 I didn't know that about the Mickey and Minnie actors. I don't know, Suzanne Somers gets on my nerves, but I loved that special way back when. Sometimes you find the best things on Youtube. He looked pretty good when they made him over. I guess the whole "good looking guy made into a nerd" thing is older than I remembered. They had Phillip Michael Thomas in a cameo in one of the earlier parts of the special. I think that may have been his highest profile role for a while after Miami Vice...until those psychic commercials. I thought he did a good job dancing; as you said, the choreography was the problem. I don't know if they were trying to do popping and locking, but it looked like they were breaking invisible windows with their elbows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members drasticmeasures Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 Here's hoping. When my 13-year-old daughter saw this mess, she said, "Who dances like that at a prom?" And "Why are they using old songs?" The latter remark made me feel extremely aged, but I got her meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted May 18, 2010 Administrator Share Posted May 18, 2010 LOL at Markko's interpretive dance. This song sounds like an 80's song? Anyone know it? Or is it an original song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 I was dying! And holy head voice Markko. It's fun to imagine that you have absolutely no prior knowledge of this show or especially of this musical special and you just flipped to this out of the blue... only to find a shirtless man bathed in blue light breaking out in song, and a man of indeterminate ethnicity dancing for his life. Aww, Destiny's dude got his own number, MJ at that. It was a little weird though when he said all dreamily, "I like 'ballsy.' " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 I'll eat crow and admit I really, really liked that number, minus the odd dancing from Markko. The Way You Make Me Feel? REALLY? REALLY?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 Layla sounds something like Rihanna. That was a good ending. Langston, I have such hate for her character now. What a dummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 Woke up half way into the show. My tv was on when I fell asleep at noon after being up all night. I had it on ABC. And, I was woke up by Destiny singing MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
