Good job on putting this tribute together. It is a great montage. I watch Fame on Hulu. They don't have all the seasons though. I like the first 2 seasons the best. When I was younger I lost interest when they changed cast for the 3rd season. It was still good. I just liked the original cast better.
Classic hit 80's series when it actually (still) required talent to be on TV.Nowadays I just want to shoot my TV screen before throwing it out of the window.
Great tribute to the television series, like the way you put together the names of all the stars and guest stars into your compilation collage. Brilliantly done. Look soon. I will be doing a tribute myself to "Fame" incorporating scenes from both the old and new movies, and hopefully with a little pizazz in the soundtrack.
yes it was and though you can not turn back the hands of time like in the 80s movie grease 2 i was a kid when it was the 80s i do remember it 90s were not that bad either now suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This should be my highschool graduation song.My highschools mascot is a pheonix,and the lyrics match with a pheonix.I love this song,thank you mom for introducing me to this.
@SomeKnowsLikes No doubt it had to do with union rules and labor laws, but it also had a LOT to do with casting for acting ability and not looks. Something totally foreign to Hollywood these days other than the stream of CSIs, NCISs, and Law and Orders. The casts of most television shows can't act for anything, but they look really great in the promo campaigns and in the gossip mags, which is what really counts these days.
In this day & age, this show wouldn't make it past 5 episodes
@SomeKnowsLikes You know its funny you say that, but now that I recall, most of the cast were really young. Not tweens or 15-16, but in their very early 20s and late teens. Erica Gimple, I believe, in fact was still in Performing Arts when she was cast.
i was a child during the 80's and it was so nice!!! i was watching fame every day and i was imitating the dance moves!! i was also crazy with Micheal Jackson i was dancing every day!!! The best decade ever!!!
i was a child during the 80's and it was so nice!!! i was waching fame every day and i was imitatig the dance moves!! i was also crazy with Micheal Jackson i was dancing every day!!! The best decade ever!!!

É bom recordar grandes êxitos, de qualidade. Embora eu não tenha jeito para dança, nem seja expert, admirava especialmente a extraordinária Debbie Allen, atriz, bailarina, coreógrafa , que em Fame interpretou o papel da professora de dança Lydia Grant. Mas há muito mais gente de muita qualidade na série!
I love this show! Does anyone remember the episode where the dancers out workout the football players? I can't remember which on it is and it's one of my favorite scenes
@Savoria The episode was from season 1 entitled ''Tomorrow's Farewell'' and the song was ''I Can Do Anything Better Than You''. I have Series 1 and 2 on DVD and I treasure it as I consider it as a piece of history connected to my own history. I know that parts of it is cheesy, but it is amazing, and I don't think television can recreate that magic with a society obsessed with great special effects, but utterly poor storylines. one example? The new fame...
I remember a very nice girl gave the cassette of Iren Cara as a present. I heard it at that time and I loved the girl and the album. Really 80's were the best tubes in all history of the music.I had the chance to live those nice years.never forget my friends in the Lycee never forget my first lover,never forget the series Fame which I grew with them.I love Thurdays in Algeria cause we had the chance to see Fame in tv and muet pet show .thanks to the 80's .....
this is a proper musical unlike that stupid high school musical crap. wish they would play this series on tv again so i could watch it for the first time
Is there a site or something where you can see or buy the seasons of the tv serie. I love it and I would like to see them. My mother saw them and she loved it, so I would like to see it to!! ^_^
one thing older folks like me can shamelessly brag about is that i've listened to this song around the time of its debut and not its later replays (and for me, also from the other side of the globe)
so agreed normally people from other generation tend to be to much of haters about these kind of new things why ? just because it´s from our generation guess what things don´t have to be like that and our generation is very talented :D
I do ""LOVE"" the old Flame song as well the old tv show! Fame 2009 is High School Kids YUCK! The older Fame has more to give then the new Fame 2009. Call me OLD! Young folk may like the new improve Fame 2009 BUT US older timer LOVE the old Fame better still kick butt!
@fulmoon12 yep you are absolutly right! i was born in 1980 so this was on tv when i was 5 years old , i am glad i was a lil kid in the 80's i grew up with breakdance,rap making entrance scene,mj,george michael,new wave and so much more especialy 70's music disco/pop/ mixes and so on. its a pitty that such a great industry turned in to fuck u bitch and loving rims on cars and so on. we lost the passion and love for the litlle things in live. we love liveless shit instead. poor mankind huh?
Respondint to dragonheart - Fame was a popular serie in the 80's about an art school, it's students and all the intrigue and drama of those teenage years.
A film better than ALL the others about dancing and singing and playing together.
