I never saw the movie, but have since seen a wonderful stage production of this show, and the TV series was an absolute favorite of mine. In reading the comments and seeing the info, I had forgotten that it was an 80's show! It was certainly one of those I never missed.
It had a great cast, I loved the characters and the music. It was one of those shows that did a great job of having all sorts of characters, and that let the regulars grow and change. I still remember one or two in particular (no I won't give away plots) that were particularly moving because the story was beautiful if sad, and the featured character learned a LOT about humanity in the process.
An excellent series, one I wouldn't mind owning on DVD.
