Saranno famosi

I believe that Fame the series was a great show for it's time. IT WAS the 80's. There is no denying that. Of course the movie was better...when is that not expected. We all know that in real life no one breaks into song and dance. I think what the series did, was take the movie to a level that the "true" movie fans wanted to see where it could go. In the later seasons it did get boring, repetitive and almost down right embarrassing. This is one of the tv series I wish were still on in syndication...I would watch. Fame the TV series was NOT lame!!!!!

This is a TV series that raised the dreams and hopes of a whole generation. Everything was so well arranged, and the story was well written that you just had to watch the next episode. The soundtrack included excellent songs performed by the cast and on occasions the series hosted famous guest stars. Maybe the actors were not Brando Dean and Monroe but they all gave that little bit of pure artistic glamour. The show was really taken Europe by storm and for a long time it was a must to know what was going on. Something like the '90201' of the nineties. The School of Arts in New York was set to make stars and stars it made. The '80s would have never been complete without this. If you do have a chance to see the early years of the show don't miss it. 10/10

My mom and I used to watch this show when I was a kid - a show about the students' and faculty's life stories at the New York City High School for the Performing Arts.

From the catchy and rhythmic theme to the classic 80s atmosphere, it's definitely a nostalgic show that brings you nice TV entertainment and an interesting plot to follow.

Grade B+

In addition to the original movie, "Fame," the TV series is still vibrant and compelling. The music is for the most part still fresh, and the choreography and dance performances are ageless. The characters as well as the dancing and singing give the show an energy that is contagious and leaves you smiling. Of course the series is not for the literal-minded--what musical is?--so if you are bothered by people "spontaneously" bursting into fully-scored singing and fully- choreographed dancing, skip it. If you like music and dance and would enjoy explorations of the dreams and problems of young people by them and the equally-interesting adult faculty of the "Fame" school, you'll love this series. It's particularly good viewing for kids, too.

Of course, Fame the TV show is not patch on the classic Fame movie, but this show is still really good. With the same plot as the movie, the show follows the stories of the students and faculty at New York City's High School for the Performing Arts. If you enjoyed the brilliant movie and the just as brilliant West-End musical production of Fame, then I'm sure you'll enjoy the TV show of Fame It's great.
