Hlaf of the shows mentioned were not HATED by the critics, in fact many had very good reviews with a couple of negatives (like the NY Times which for some reason is what so many base everything on)
Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna
Seussical Jekyll & Hyde The Scarlet Pimpernel Thou Shalt Not Saturday Night Fever
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
