I guess I'll be the black sheep and say I didn't like "Fame". I think the talent is below that of other talent show (i.e. "American Idol") and the quality of hosts and judges is a might sub-par.I do enjoy the Broadway-esque quality of the show, which is fun, but I think the talent is awful, and I think I feel jaded by the judging because there is no "Simon", unless Carnie Wilson fills that role. She seems like she could jump into that, after her spat with Debbie Allen.
Also, Debbie Allen, stomps on everything the judges say anyway. I don't see why there should be judges if Debbie Allen totally talks over what they just said prior to her commentary, the judges are kind of patronizing (Paula Abduls) and Debbie Allen just reiterates how hard they worked and how "good" they were.
I coudn't watch the entire show and I kept flipping channels in the middle of it. I thought the talent wasn't very good, and that girl who went from NYC to Chicago (who's in the Final 24 now) Simon would not have stood for that, and I don't think auditions like that, in genral, should either, if you sucked before, we're not going to soften our hearts and let you in even if we think you weren't that good, unless you're Debbie Allen.
I don't know, I hope it gets better, I do like the musical numbers. Since, like any person who bashes a show, I will still watch it, just not as intently as "American Idol" or any other reality show.
