Let's be realistic.

Disappointment for a huge fan!

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

When I was a kind I started watching Fame with my mother. She used to watch that show all the time. She loved it. I bought the first season at Wal Mart for $20. It was cheap. I watched all 16 episodes in the season, and 1 thing I like about the show was at the end of the introduction, 2 women on the dance floor studio jumped and splitted their legs WIDE OPEN. That's what reminds me of having to watch that show. Even I was having to get up for school the morning after, YEARS ago. I felt pretty good about watching that show. And another part of the introduction was the quote that says "You got big dreams. You want Fame, well Fame costs. And right here is where you start paying with sweat. The title theme was great. I didn't like the end credits much, but the introduction was great, and the whole show too.

I believe that Fame the series was a great show for it's time. IT WAS the 80's. There is no denying that. Of course the movie was better...when is that not expected. We all know that in real life no one breaks into song and dance. I think what the series did, was take the movie to a level that the "true" movie fans wanted to see where it could go. In the later seasons it did get boring, repetitive and almost down right embarrassing. This is one of the tv series I wish were still on in syndication...I would watch. Fame the TV series was NOT lame!!!!!

"Fame" had some of the most talented young people of the 1980s. Gene Anthony Ray and Debbie Allen are two of the most gifted dancers I have ever seen. The show, while not totally realistic, was always entertaining, heartwarming, and just fun to watch. I recently watched the movie "Fame" which inspired the TV show, and I wonder where those talented actors are today. "Fame" was one of the best shows on TV and I wish that there were more like it today.

This is a TV series that raised the dreams and hopes of a whole generation. Everything was so well arranged, and the story was well written that you just had to watch the next episode. The soundtrack included excellent songs performed by the cast and on occasions the series hosted famous guest stars. Maybe the actors were not Brando Dean and Monroe but they all gave that little bit of pure artistic glamour. The show was really taken Europe by storm and for a long time it was a must to know what was going on. Something like the '90201' of the nineties. The School of Arts in New York was set to make stars and stars it made. The '80s would have never been complete without this. If you do have a chance to see the early years of the show don't miss it. 10/10
