High Fidelity the TV show ?

What are you people talking about? I can name three record stores owned by women in Kansas City off the top of my head - Love Records, the Music Exchange and Dirt Cheap Recycled Sounds (RIP Anne Winter).

You can make an excellent show just featuring stories about Annie. She had the show on the local community radio station KKFI called The Orphan Annie Show, she founded Kansas City's St Patrick's Day Parade and when she died the funeral home was so crowded you literally could not fit one more person in - they just couldn't open the door.

I remember one time she volunteered her record store to host an Amnesty International benefit concert. People showed up and moved every single record out of the store into the basement, set up the stage, enjoyed the concert, and then hung around afterwards to bring all the records back up from the basement so she could open the store the next morning.



Just because some of you weren't lucky enough to know somebody like Annie doesn't mean she didn't exist.

 

And Electric Fetus in Minneapolis.

 

...and Laurie's Planet of Sound near my home in Chicago.

Honestly, it's hard to believe so many of these guys are single.

 

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

 

But you gotta admit, that Bernie The Vampire Slayer book was pretty weak; Wheedon's puttting a spin on it was a stroke of genius!













This is the part where you know I'm kidding, right? It's not like one of you poindexters is gonna pipe-in with, "No, Buffy was the original idea.."

 

I manage quite* well, so it's not entirely outside the realm of possibility. Saying that, I certainly wouldn't be suitable for a PG-13 audience (not that you'd ever know it from my posts online - I conduct myself a lot better when I'm able to go back and refine every word before hitting the submit button)!

*I'll admit, the folders on my computer might default to alphabetical order, but my physical music collection is very much structured in a way that reflects the sequence everything was purchased in.

 

Guess they were aiming for the SH forum crowd.

 

So...a one woman show? Interesting.

 

Some of you are pretty hostile at the notion of a strong female lead- not to mention a female record collector.......
Part of the reason why there are few females on this forum.......

Let’s hope that this series doesn’t try to repeat the novel or movie’s plot. I think it’d be fun to feature record collector stories- if done authentically.

Personally, the Hi Fidelity book helped save my life when I was going thru my divorce in 1999. The movie was good though: it was successful at moving the action from England to US. I was pretty skeptical about that.

 

The link I posted previously states that this will be a departure from the both the novel and the movie. As for record collector stories...it's a rom-com. It won't be featuring any record collecting stories although I imagine there will be at least one or two record collector cliche type characters.

It's a Disney PG-13 "an optimistic-in-tone mixtape/diary rom-com." TV show. Doesn't really scream authentically handled record collector stories does it?

For the record, I'm not bothered by the female lead.

 

Yeah not really sure why but I suppose apart from hooking parents along, it probably results in more column inches in the press.

 

Thanks. After I posted, I thought I myself, “ I didn’t read the article! I’m one of THOSE people!!”

 

Are there gonna be female "Barry & Dick", too?
I loved those two MORE that the lead!

 

That was my first encounter with Jack Black, and some of his scenes are among the funniest in any movie ever.



They are going to have a tough time replacing Barry.

 

Unlike MASH, this one even improved over the film.

 

OK, another good one.

 

I suspect that I am alone in this, but I liked the Napoleon Dynamite cartoon show.

 

It looks like Zoe Kravitz (Lisa Bonet's daughter) is going to be the lead in the show...
