One word...


FUN! I am not comparing it to the original, the same way I'm not comparing Grease Live to the original. It too was just... FUN! Laverne Cox here reminds me of Dolly Parton when she acts in movies...she is simply playing herself which is why she is so good.

Exactly. I wasn't expecting anything mind blowing and I had fun watching it

I grew up on the original. This wasn't fun. It was a train wreck that was a travesty to the senses but difficult not to complete watching it. I had to put on the original right after just to get this nastiness from my head. Total crap that destroys the memory of the original. Just like all the other so called musicals they keep putting on tv and "modernizing".

Well hell mysticcox, it's not Star Wars, Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica; it's frigging Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's the Blazing Saddles of British rated sci-fi while slamming those close minded haters of the late 60' early 70's. Lighten Up Francis !!!

That doesn't make it ok to destroy. Just like Grease, the Sound of Music, and many of these others. Hollywood needs to learn to come up with some original stuff instead of constantly remaking everything that's old.

Standards?!?
It's frigging Rocky Horror Picture Show, where the midnight shows AUDIENCE threw toast, used squirt-guns and had orgies in the back row.... and you want STANDARDS ?!?

The midnight showing is the way to see it. It hasn't stopped, you know.

Why have standards when you can have "fun".
