You want Fame
11 July 2006 | by (Surrey, Canada) – See all my reviews

When I was a kind I started watching Fame with my mother. She used to watch that show all the time. She loved it. I bought the first season at Wal Mart for $20. It was cheap. I watched all 16 episodes in the season, and 1 thing I like about the show was at the end of the introduction, 2 women on the dance floor studio jumped and splitted their legs WIDE OPEN. That's what reminds me of having to watch that show. Even I was having to get up for school the morning after, YEARS ago. I felt pretty good about watching that show. And another part of the introduction was the quote that says "You got big dreams. You want Fame, well Fame costs. And right here is where you start paying with sweat. The title theme was great. I didn't like the end credits much, but the introduction was great, and the whole show too.
