Posted: 11/21/03 at 1:53amIs this a quiz? I don't really understand if you are asking us to guess the show, or capsulize the ending of shows.
PEACE.

The latter, without being overly specific (names, etc.)
If someone can't figure them out and they want to know, they're welcome to ask.

He has a girlfriend (and his girlfriend's father wants to have sex with him) but realises he is really in love with a drug dealer who realises he is gay too but then the drug dealer dies and so he becomes a pop star.
She falls asleep at her class reunion and wakes up a teenager again but then she realises they are remaking Grease but this show has only one good song so she wakes up happy and so are the audience that it is over.
A young man wants to become a bollywood star but is forced to repeat the same dance steps for 3 hours until the audience cry tears of utter boredom and he gets to become famous.

Posted: 11/21/03 at 11:45amAn old homeless whore wearing a retro-shop coat tries to crash a secret, after-hours dance club, managed by a chubby older guy on a major power trip, where everybody dances, like totally non-stop on crystal meth... After she's discovered tryin' to boogie all by herself, she's dissed by everyone and thrown out. Once on the street, she has a kinda reality check, and alone, mulls, like, what a downer it is to live in the past. Especially hers. She can't get a cab, even if she could afford one, and since it's a cold night, dies. She sees the fat club manager in the white light John Edward tunnel thingy, and somehow feels better about herself, and even the nasty dancin' folk who had a lot of 'tude earlier.

Kudos, JohnPopa.
All of have been answered correctly except "She remembers a song from her childhood." It, indeed, may be THOU SHALT NOT but I was thinking of something else. Anyone?
Here's some more:
He dies as his son proclaims a new regime.
He slaps his kid and goes to heaven.
The glamorous despot dies.
The guy kills himself so the family can get insurance money.
She takes care of his kids while he's in the war.
She takes dope and talks all night.
She takes dope, goes to NY and he follows her.
Her boyfriend gets torn apart by a gang of boys.
Their kid is imaginary.
They die in the tomb together.
The attorney and the actress wind up together.
The prosecuting attorney dies affirming his faith.
She doesn't kill herself.
They each confront their conflicts and sing about it.
He turns back into a kid again.
The kid gets laid.
It rains.

The only one I can think of right now is West Side Story for "She doesn't kill herself."
LOL its been a long day. My mind is on standby, and I'm half listening to "Third Watch."
