Fame "If I Only Had"

[TheLearningFish]

They did a very nice job with the original score! Cool!

Give me a break on the racist comments. Leroy (Scarecrow) was played by Gene Anthony Ray - an amazing and very talented dancer. He is the only one of the 3 guys who could pull off the scarecrow's moves. You've been so brainwashed, you can't even enjoy a man's talent without calling it racist.  How sad. It also shows that you were too young or not even born when the show was on TV. He was one of the most popular stars of the original movie and the show. So much for racism.

@kitbin +1

@kitbin I was a huge fan of the show & had the chance to meet them. Gene was a total sweet heart & the rest of the cast were awesome.  So sad Gene passed away, but he will always truly be remembered in a super star way... Forever Fame..

[Wakkosgirl]

@kitbin Exactly!! He was the most fluid. Like water! *smile* Better description would be the line from Some Like it Hot - Jack Lemmon about Marilyn Monroe, "That's jello on springs!"

[BigBlueBeast]

[MoonAssassin]

Who played the lion? I swear I've seen him before!

[MaskedMan66]

Carlo Imperato. I only know him from "Fame."

[wheredidallthepeople]

Why is it that the black guy is the one who needs the brain? this is so racist.

[Limbrickcourt]

Yes -Like all white people are all heartless and have no courage!

[yorkshirelass24601]

if you say so

[kooljsl]

he is probably scarecrow because he has slickest dance moves on the show other then Debbie Allen...not because he is stupid.

[Gabriella365]

No. If he was the tin man, then you say it be racist because black people don't have a heart. If he was the lion then you say it racist because black people be scared of a lot of thing. The kid who plays the scarcrow is a good dancer and not the smartest at reading.

[yorkshirelass24601]

no its really not, colour has NOTHING!!!!!! to do with how a show is cast unless the show is "show boat" stop trying to be PC, it doesn't suit you

[MaskedMan66]

A word of advice, my friend: NEVER watch "The Wiz."

[MaskedMan66]

"Fame" the T.V. show was so much better than the DISMAL movie on which it was based.

[duckystars]

Now I'm no homophobe, but this is incredibly gay. Especially since Dorothy's wearing overalls. I don't mean gay in a mean way, but in a happy campy sort of way.

[MaskedMan66]

That's not Dorothy, that's Doris, and she was quite straight. She was just comfier in overalls when she went for her audition.

[manutd007k]

the scarecrow did pretty well

[mormie87]

This is the BEST episode ever and i can not wait till season 2 comes out on dvd so i an see it again!

[Modernjazz1]

If I only had the 'Noive' . . . Can you get anymore New Yoik than that? LOL

[KoolJ1013]

this is the best version of the wizard of oz songs i would say.thanks for putting it up.

[chuckie99c]

I remember what Carlo said about this episode saying that he wished instead of doing it that the show would have produced New York real issues at the time and not doing some 'song and dance' number ! Never-the-less its good. Thanks for posting.
