My Family's Flop

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

I always wondered why the title of the show changed.

This show was a mess & I can attest to it. Sadly, like most MacDermott musicals, the music always gets lost in the dreck.

Via Galactica had huge problems. The dunce cap hats that enslaved the earthlings were just plain silly. There were script problems and even score issues, however, I remember the show rather fondly. It was clear as I watched it, it wasn't going to fly, but I am very glad that I had the chance to see it and remember it fondly.

What a great article. I totally forgot about the similarities between the two. I totally agree with the statement by the author:

"I’m rooting for “Spider-Man.” May it become the brilliant show it deserves to be. And may everyone connected with it have an old age with no regrets, no posters in Joe Allen’s and no late-night walks to the fridge."

Did any of you see the NYTimes article on scifi theatre yesterday?
