Baby remember my name!
FAME!!
Ok, normally I’m not one for remakes. I heard they are remaking Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Footloose, which makes me go uuuuugh, and I’m absolutely dreading the day they even TRY to remake a great one like Dirty Dancing.
I can’t help it, I am really looking forward to this one. I LOVED the TV show when I was a kid and while I thought the movie they made back in the day sort of sucked, I’m hoping this one is better. Shame there will be none of the old gang though (that I know of, other than Debbie Allan who will be playing the Principal)… Doris, Danny, Leroy, COCO! Oh man, I’m getting all nostalgic.
Here’s a little blast from the past Season 1 opening for you, so you can join me in my nostalgia!
“You want fame? … Well, fame costs. And right here is where you start paying. With sweat.”
oh god! I used to watch this show when I was a kid in my underoos eating Mr.T cereal! This one does look promising, but i pray they stop making remakes of old movies. I mean once you reach greatness how do you top it? Come on now, you cannt out do ‘Animal House’ with any possible remake or ‘Clockwork Orange’ you just cannt!
lmao!
Hi Breigh, thanks for visiting Life Abroad! It’s great finding another Canadian in the NL. I love Dirty Dancing, and somehow thought it would be smart to watch “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights”….not a good idea. Hopefully this re-make will do the original justice. I saw Dirty Dancing on Broadway and loooved it, but if they ever tried to remake the actual movie, I’m sure it just wouldn’t be the same.
Ah, Dirty Dancing… so many memories or trying to look like Jennifer Grey! I had a crush on Patrick I think. I was young and innocent of course… I’d have to see a remake.

Oh I loved the original movie, but hated the TV show with a passion. I think it was the music that was a let down since I just loved the song On My Own.
Leroy won’t be back for sure…he died of Aids a few years ago, I think…
I just finished watching season 1 of Fame on dvd (I found it on sale at BestBuy for really cheap). I cannot wait for the new movie. Just hope its good.
It looks nothing like the old Fame, but holy cow goosebumps!
I too loved that show and look forward to the movie aswell. I hope they never even think about remaking Dirty Dancing..it’s bad enough they are remaking Footloose..seriously why??
