If it was on MTV, then I definitely missed it.

Does anybody remember when it actually was "Music Television"?

Don't worry, you didn't miss "Wuthering Heights" at all. All it shared with the original was the title.

I remember reading an article about it, but remembering the disaster that was "Carmen: A Hip-Hopera," I decided not to watch.

WUTHERING HEIGHTS is my all-time favorite novel. In fact, it led me to major in Victorian Literature as an undergrad. However no film or stage adaptation comes close to capturing the scope of the plot or the richness of Emily Bronte's prose.

It's my favorite novel as well....thus, the name I chose for this board. Hard to believe Emily Bronte only wrote one novel. Her poetry is wonderful as well.

Jim Steinman MTV musical but the score really didn't sound much like Steinman, unless you think of his pre-Meat Loaf/Bonnie Tyler days - back when he was writing musicals for Joe Papp.

Mini-CD soundtrack available from Footlight on MTV's own label.

I think teenagers might have liked it, but it left me, if not cold, luke warm. Heath (Heathcliff isn't a cool name) was a guitar playing rocker, who becomes a star. The ending was appropriately sad, but most of it was forgettable.
