The LA production of "Parade" a few years was one of the most affecting musicals I'd seen, and I've seen a lot (and TR Knight did a great job making the transition from TV to stage musical in that show with help from a voice coach). Unfortunately JRB's "Bridges of Madison County" closed on Broadway despite its beautiful score and the current production of "Honeymoon in Vegas" starring Tony Danza is struggling with weak ticket sales. cgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-50600683232512825022015-02-09T21:15:32.726-08:002015-02-09T21:15:32.726-08:00VOD stands for Video on Demand.

I just saw an announcement that Paramount is releasing a "Complete Series" set for "Cheers." Same DVDs as before. Just reassembled into one big box.<br /><br />What irked me was the cover art for the box, which crowds the series regulars together into a Photoshopped group shot. Well, not quite <i>all</i> the series regulars. Nicholas Colasanto is noticeably absent.<br /><br />I have no plans to buy this, because I already have the individual season sets. I always liked Colasanto, though, and just hate to see him left out.<br /><br />http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Cheers-The-Complete-Series/20744Greggnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-79811625905468940152015-02-09T13:41:58.117-08:002015-02-09T13:41:58.117-08:00DID YOU HEAR THAT RADIO SHACK IS CLOSING!!!!

Or another one during the episode called Dark Victory where he criticizes the whole family for taking him for granted. Or the all of the Frasier's Edge episode where he goes head-to-head with his mentor.

He was not only a coach of players but a molder of men. His kind come along a couple times in a generation. John Wooden was iconic; so was Dean Smith.<br /><br />Also, sorry to see former NBA referee Norm Drucker passed away. During his heyday in the 1960s, a lot of the referees had personalities that weren't off-putting (like say MLB umpire Cowboy Joe West). Refs like Joe Gushue, Mendy Rudolph and Earl "Yogi" Strom made the calls entertaining. But that was back when the NBA was more fun, played games at neutral sites, had doubleheaders and gave foul shooters 3 chances to make 2 shots whenin the bonus. <br /><br />Sorry for the digression.

More a labor of love than a band-wagon attempt to cash in on the ever-growing popularity of the movie musicals.<br /><br />Most likely the distributors/producers don't have the funds to spend on extensive ad campaigns and are relying solely on word of mouth, screenings and fans of musicals to spread the love.<br /><br />I'm sure you'll hear about it in the months to come as it builds popularity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-6359576925869225682015-02-09T07:34:24.229-08:002015-02-09T07:34:24.229-08:00Me, my wife and two daughters love musicals, saw P...Me, my wife and two daughters love musicals, saw Pitch Perfect and Into The Woods, but were totally unaware of this movies existence until I read your blog just now.
