I'm only 2 hours away and I think I'm gonna go this Saturday. Is there anyone else here in the area of Southwest Virginia that will be there? For that matter, does anybody here actually GO to SVU?
I'm sure it'll be a great watch...but really...

[SUBLIMINAL] OSC wants you to use capitals and apostrophes [/SUBLIMINAL]
Posted by Will B (Member # 7931) on :
I'm considering it. (Going to see Shrew, not asking OSC to sign my chest!)

I don't know that ANY production of Taming of the Shrew can compete with the Moonlighting version.

This is so true.
I have to say, I never would have pegged you as a Moonlighting fan. Especially given the current target of your engine-doohickey.

The fact that Maddie and Dave jumped the shark, in a manner of speaking, is one of the seminal reasons why California's at the top of the list.
No show that good should be allowed to lose the main tension point.
Moonlighting was my first taste of real Hollywood facilitated disappointement. I was young, tender, and vulnerable.
I want my childhood back. And Ms. DiPesto.

He was always David, never "Dave." And it didn't jump the shark -- it was shoved across it by idiot writers. OTOH, "no show that good should be allowed to lose the main tension point"??? What, they should have continued lusting after each other, unrequited, forever?
The problem is not that they finally got together. It's that the writers couldn't figure out what to do with them afterwards. Unfortunately a common affliction; it killed Lois&Clark too. Hollywood writers have no idea what to do with a happily married couple -- insufficient angst. Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

Yes. Pain is good.

I don't disagree with you. But the success of the show relied so much on the friction between them, they could never be happy together and have it be the same show.

Scott, please remind the viewing audience at home: are you single?

1) So have them still squabble. Heavens knows squabbling married couple shows often survive many seasons. 2) Maybe not the same show. But it didn't have to be a worse one, either. The death of that show was entirely self-fulfilling prophecy in action.

I don't watch those shows.

Okay.

Actually, neither do I usually.

You guys should have some kind of Will & Grace show. Scott could be the kooky, uptight Mormon, and Rivka could be the wacky Jew. It'd be hilarious, I tells ya.
Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :
She's a Jewish forensic scientist, with a penchant for helping kids straighten out their lives...He's a Mormon leipidopterist who moonlights as a vigilante super hero...
Together, they eat babies!

Heh, heh.

Funny, my English class just start learning about Taming of the Shrew and poof, there's and OSC version of it.
I may send the script to her in an e-mail...

Except you always use too much salt. >_<
Posted by Lord Of All Fools (Member # 3841) on :
Yes, but it's KOSHER salt.
Come on. You saw that coming.
Posted by Will B (Member # 7931) on :
It was hilarious. I don't know what the original version was like, but this one had me (and the rest of the audience) rolling.
Posted by Launchywiggin (Member # 9116) on :
I totally agree. The rewritten parts were absolutely hilarious while never detracting from the style. OSC's direction was also spot on, with very well-choreographed timing and action.
And yes--I got to meet Mr. Card himself. Totally cool.

I didn't go thru extensively, but at least some of Sly's comments were *added* by OSC. The one about the cats made the play, for me!
