Yikes. It seems like someone wanted to make Fame for a new generation yet still copy the original close enough to please fans who liked the original. As a result, the first hour is mostly performances featuring characters you don't really know yet, the second hour is stories devoted to characters you should know by now, and the result is a movie that is horribly edited. Hilariously, the credits at the end start by showing the actors dance with their names so we know who they are, but I spent them wondering 'who was that?' Grammer, Mullaly, Neuwirth, and Dutton are cast as the teachers - who don't really do anything and are utterly wasted - especially Grammer, who I guess was just told to give disapproving looks. Just watch the original.
