Of course when Peter Pan was originally made, actresses were classy and good people overall. Today Hollywood is such a mess and it didn’t help that Brian Williams’ daughter was chosen for the lead which was nepotism at its worse. Of course NBC paid the price by a very low rating. Sometimes people have to learn the hard way. So glad you enjoyed the original.
Oh thank you.......Very interesting the day before Iowa.......We may watch Grease especially if the following days are going to be big time politics days. A little break pre-Iowa may be a welcome.
in the player’s lines, there will be the “F” word but not the “N” word
F is flaunted. N is shunned
if there is F, why can’t there be N?
Here’s Fox’s web page for it.

Some interesting casting choices, but at lest they won’t be “the world’s oldest teenagers” like the movie.
THanks!
Gald to do it. We’ll probably be watching ourselves.
I am telling you what the study said.
You are free to draw your own conclusion.
I didn’t know that .. I saw only the TV adaptation with Michael Jackson, Nipsy Russel and Dianna Ross
there we have it....It took several months after I;d “bottled” the first bottle of Panther Whizz until its struck me that Bear Whizz was the first Craft Whizz.... brewed in America
THAT will be interesting.
In the actual play they have only a few songs that appear in the movie.
I know people who have seen the stage play and they told me: WHERE are all of the songs I love?
They leave out a lot.
It was funky. I wanted to go because Mike Jackson was in it and the pretty lady that sang "bad girls" also had a part. I thought she was pretty(Donna summers of course)
The Wiz didn't have Donna Summer. It was Stefanie Mills on Broadway and Diana Ross in the film.
They should have let Geoffrey Holder reprise the role he created on film. He was a perfect Scarecrow.
Thank you so much for this. Very interesting indeed.
I hope you caught the 100 Year Birthday of Sinatra. Those were songs sung by a Meister.
Next step for NBC may be The Boy From Oz Live.
It would be really daring to remake that Peter Allen life story with an all straight cast, but I doubt it would be possible.
Thanks, NBN was all I remembered. I’ll check out the others.
Is Geoffrey Holder still alive?
BTW, remember Orlando (El Duque) Hernandez, the former pitcher for the Yankees? I always thought he looked like Geoffrey Holder.
