I wish that Baryshnikov on Broadway could make the grade.

He was great, Minnelli was great, and the finale to end all finales - A Chorus Line with Baryshnikov joining the ensemble was superb...


The great thing with human brains is they're fanless, nice and quiet although I'm sure mine whistles a bit sometimes.

All of the Oscars and Tonys.


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Love my copy of Baryshnikov on Broadway. One of my few Video tapes I have kept throughout the years and now I have backed into my personal dvd collection for safe keeping. re: TV Specials that deserve a DVD release.

It comes in second to my Liza and Goldie special.

SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER with Maggie Smith and Rob Lowe etc. will be released in a few weeks as part of a Maggie Smith At The BBC box set, along with a couple of other things, most notably BED AMONG THE LENTILS, a monologue by Alan Bennett that might feature Dame Maggie's finest performance ever.

Ever.

"Really Rosie"

This was released on video. They should go ahead and transfer it to DVD. But don't clean it up because part of the charm is the 1970s animation.

My vote goes for "Carol, Carl, Whoopi and Robin". Carol Burnett and Whoopi Goldberg do this magnificent skit about a mother and daughter. The skit takes the viewer from the birth of the daughter to the death of the mother. I believe Whoopi was the daughter and Carol was the mother.

There was some sort of sci-fi comedy musical Christmas special I remember airing on TV around 1980 or so that was delightful, but for the life of me, I can't remember the name of it and never saw it aired again.

Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, and Forever if nothing else just for the debut live performance of Billie Jean (but that's been everywhere).

Surviving, the 1985 Made-For-TV movie starring Molly Ringwald, Zach Galligan. Paul Sorvino, River Phoenix, and Ellen Burstyn dealing with teen suicide.

"Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, and Forever if nothing else just for the debut live performance of Billie Jean (but that's been everywhere)."

And to see Diana Ross push Mary Wilson out of the way.

I need it for that reason alone.
