Fame TV Show

If anyone out there can reach the networks, try to get them to release season 2 and 3 of Fame it can ultimately bring alot of money seeing as how Janet Jackson was apart of that season her biggest fans woud all pay money for that, being one of them I can tell yu were all waiting to see Janet back in the day

Sony now has the DVD rights for all six seasons. Janet was in season four.

i really miss the show fame so can they please release all the box sets?? its not on tv anymore and i cant find it anywhere online!!!!

Hey guys is there any news of season 2 coming out of Fame. Man i loved that show. When season 1 came out i ran an bought it. I wanted to be one of the kids going to that school.

Mark, thanks for sharing that info about the Fame DVD release date.

Hello guys abd greetings from Denmark, I saw this site where they have all six seasons og the tv series, all 139 episodes (so they say) Can anyone tell me if this is true? I dont think so myself. try
www.allmyfavoriteshows.com and shearch for fame.

The company offering the Fame series 1-6 DVD set are a con (swindle). They used to operate under a different name and went bust, but the websites the same. I contacted them to query the offer, and after a lot of e-mails (which they didnt seem to understand a lot of the time), they finally admitted it was not all the episodes. just a few extra on top of the first series, plus some extra music videos of songs form the shows. It may take a while, but i think its best to wait for the official release.

Does anyone remember which season this song was on? I found on Utube and downloaded it, but I want to buy the DVD and watch it again. Brought back many memories and me and my room-mate Judy watching this program, makes me smile, laugh, cry all together.

Hi Jeadene Star Maker is from season one last episode when they think Crandell is going to lose his job, just watched it what memories!!! I too agree with the other posts can't wait for the rest to be released.

I would like to buy all the seasons of the TV series 'Fame', no doubt!

So is it true,the Company that suppose to do the 136 Episodes of the Fame TV Series a Fraud.I order the Best Edition of the Fame on dvd with this Company, I think its in Canada A while But I only got the First few Episodes and some Music Video.Are you saying that there is no 136 Episodes of the Fame with this Company I ordered from, please e-mail to answer my Question please thank you
Derrick

Hi this is Derrick, I also agree with everyone else, put the rest of the seasons of the Fame on DVD.

Maybe we could try to convince SONY that there is a market for all six seasons of Fame. What e-mail or snail mail address for SONY should one use?

We'd have to snow SONY under with mail to get them off the dime, because making and merchandising six CDs would be a significant expense.

We could start with the eleven (I think it is) persons who have posted on this site, plus me. Does anyone know how we could identify others who would join in the effort?

Also: if the show is still in syndication, maybe we could target local TV stations and try to convince them that there is a big potential audience for the show out there. What do allayall think?

I too am and was a HUGE fan of the TV series. If someone can provide an email address that we can write to, I will certainly make it a point to place my vote in releasing all the Fame episodes on DVD. I am also interested in a company that would release all the different Kids from Fame soundtracks on CD as well. Can anyone provide any info?

Here is another fan of Fame. Add my name to your list. I would like to have all episodes on DVD.

you can watch Fame on MuchMoreMusice every day at 12:30 to 1:30 at least in ottawa

Whatever happens, I want in on all seasons of the Fame episodes. I guess we will have to bug Sony until they put the merchandise on the market. I was and am a HUGH fan of the show.

Me too! I am dying to get the entire series. I had most of the last three years of the show taped on Beta (remember that form of tape?), but my Mom tossed them with the old VCR. Just tell me what to do and I am on board to write letters, send e-mails, whatever.

I know me and others over at www.fameforever.com message board want all seasons to be put on DVDs as well.

It's about time they do this for their fans. I have season 1 series on DVD, but I want all the others as well.

I want all of FAME too!!! It came on before my generation of tv watching. But I watched the first season and fell in love with it, as I did the movie. I am a modern dancer and found it truly inspiring. Let me in on the e-mail list.

anyone any idea where I can get a transcript of performance by Doris, in Season 1 Episode 8, "Street Kid". It was a drama segment where she took on the persona of the street kid, and was really touching.

HELP ME!
I have the first serie on DVD
how and where can I buy the other series?
thanks

I AM LOOKING FOR THE ORIGINAL PARTITION OF "THE KIDS FROM FAME SONG BY NBC TV SERIES (1982) THANKS

I to have been waiting for Fame beyond Season 1, I also just discovered that Matlock Season 1 will be out April 8th, That is to make the point that "catalog" Tv series will be out in time.

Hi. I'm a big fan of the TV-series "Fame". The series are so much better than the movie!.
I'm from Norway, and I've bought season 1 here in Norway. I have read the stuff you guys have written, about all the 6 seasons and their release. I was just wondering: Will all of the 6 seasons come to Norway? Can someone please answer?

I to am a big fame of fame please bring the rest of this fab program out on dvd

We need to do something to convince Sony, that the rest of the Fame seasons will sell. I for sure will buy, and I know lots of other people who would be thrilled. Denmark is waiting - as the rest of the world I can see - soo what can we do!?

i too loved this show and also would love to buy all the series!
hope they will be released soon.!

I've just finished watching my Season 1-DVD, can't wait for the rest of the seasons - what's keeping Sony from releasing them? It's been 3 yrs since the first.

I, too, am awaiting the release of future seasons. It would be sad if they do not release the remaining seasons.

Any ideas when season 2 will be released

also looking for all seasons on DVD

lol just release season , i want some janet

We have cable and dish and shows that repeat soooo much, like M*A*S*H, when are they gonna play something like, oh I don't know...FAME??? Would LOVE to see them ALL and would even be willing to BUY all the seasons! (fame costs! lol) I was sooo excited when the first one came out, I couldn't wait till they got to the seasons of Holly, Nicole, Jesse, and even Reggi!!
We should form a petition to the cable/dish providers!!

does any have on video not in kansas anymore if i would love a copy of it.727 565 5841

I have series 1 and i find it amazing!
I love it.

They really need to bring out the other Series!!

I miss it!!
=(

I am desperately trying to get this too. A petition is a great idea. There is a lady who runs a fame fan website who may be able to put us in touch with the right person. I think I still have the Kansas episode somewhere but may not be in full. It is on tape though sorry.

Is Fame being rerun in the UK at all?

Hi there just adding my name along with the rest of you in the hope Sony final sort out a release for Fame series two and the rest on dvd.

is fame come back to t.v i am a big fan of the t,v show. lilian 35 10 /27/2008

I love Fame and am so wanting to see all seasons! Any luck with petition? Count me in to convince Sony that Fame has a real fan base!

Please, please, please put out the complete set of the tv series Fame! I love that show and miss it very much.

So glad I found this site, am desperate for episode with Jimmy Osmond and Coco singing 'songs'
Its obviously in demand, so why the continued delay????

I know someone who said they were cast as an ensemble dancer in the remake of the movie, and she said they either had finished or were close to finishing the shoot, with most of the big production numbers being done in LA, and location shoots in NYC. IMDB lists a tentative release date of Sep 25th 2009 so let's hope they release the rest of the TV seasons in conjunction with the movie to generate buzz. Add me to the list of people eagerly awaiting the rest of the series to be released.

i have the first three seasons on video (VHS) if its any help

Im going to email sony to ask them to release the other 5 seasons. I am in the UK so haven't even seen season 5 and 6! Apparently they did show them in the 90s on the childrens channel but skipped a couple of episodes. That channel has gone now! Maybe if we all bug sony, they will see the demand.
I did read that 20th century fox had taken over the rights?

Does anyone have the email address for sony please

Hey everyone,
If anyone knows an email address for Sony Home Entertainment, if they print it here then we can all bombard Sony with emails looking for seasons 2 - 6 to be released on dvd!!!! You can count me in on the petition....used to have loads of episodes on VHS and they got destroyed in a fire years ago...as soon as I heard season 1 was being released I rushed out to buy it...It was FAB to see it again!!!! BRING ON SEASON 2, 3, 4, 5 AND 6!!!!

Hey everyone,
It's me again.... I think I've found the address to email sony about enquiries for future dvd releases....If we can ALL email them, it packs a bigger punch!!!

consumer@SPHECustomerSupport.sony.com

Hi everyone,
I agree I've been waiting for season 2 to become available. When i heard about season 1 i ran out to buy ASAP...You can count me in to. I've actually started watching them again. Please bring all seasons out.

Why sony havent released season 2 is a so strange .There obviously a fan base .all i can say bring it to dvd NOW !!!!!!!

I'm glad there are others that appreciate Fame as much as me.
Come on Sony, sort it out!

A good place to promote a fan site is on myspace. Get everyone you know to 'add' in on 'friends'. When the numbers get into the 1000's...THEN we have something to approach Sony with! Go check out Billy Hufsey from the series! His 'myspace' fan site is booming, and he is now starring in a reality show with other teen idols called "I was a teenage Idol" on VH1. I watched the first episode tonight. Definately this is the time to push if we want to ever see those seasons in 'full' be available for purchase! I'm "IN" if someone has the knowledge, drive and time to get a really GOOD fansite started for the series!

I recently bought the first series, and it brought back so many pleasant memories. I was surprised at how i remembered all the words to the songs. Recently watched Justin Lee Collins show "bring back Fame". It was so weird seeing them all again. They all looked really well, very sad to hear Gene Anthony's Ray's story again. They all came to the reunion, it was brill. I will definitely be using email for Sony to ask about series 2.

I have also just watched the "Bring back Fame" show here in the UK. Just to make a show like this UK station Channel 4 must have faith in Fame after all it cost money to make, pity Sony doesn't feel the same way. I shall be e-mailing them too.
Had seasons 1-4 recorded on VHS tape when they first shown by BBC. When season 1 was released on DVD I threw them out, thinking they would all get a release date. What an idiot I was. Come on Sony get Seasons 2-6 released.

just watched bring back fame it was great to see some of the stars again it brings back alot of great memories from when i was a teenager watching this great show thanks channel 4.

Hi - I am with all of you - I'm desperate for Fame remaining seasons to be released - some of you mentioned the new movie due out in Sept. and then there's Billy's resurging popularity on Confessions - maybe Sony will wake up and realize Fame still has a huge market - and us die-hard fans will snatch up those dvd's - please, let's all get together and really do this....we will have more support - there's a lot of fans that go to fameforever.com - we can all work together to bug Sony to do this for us!!!!

my daughter and i watched the movie last nite, and it brought back sooooooooooo many happy memories. i enjoyed it as an adult with my kids when they were little and it would be fab to see all the series from the tv show.
i'll email that sony address and hope ALL of you do too!!!!!!

Well I just found this site, I was looking also for more Fame on dvd. I\'m like the rest of you, I would also like season 2 & 3, and all I can get. Lets stay on Sony. I have some on VHS, but how long will they last. I have season 1. You know what bugs me, is they bring out everything else, and not this. Wonder why?

Just to confirm to all the fans like me on the hunt for all 6 seasons....

A rip off company has been changing names and advertising this - presently tvaddicts or similar...

This is NOT as described. It is NOT all 6 seasons on DVD but a collection of the first seasons, some clips and dances with some music from the show/film. If you find this 'offer' read the description carefully as they state 4 DVDs included, which wouldn't be enough to put the whole fame series onto...

PS I didn't buy this... but am waiting and hoping for the day they get released officially.

I looked on Amazon today and season 2 is at least on there with the sign up to be notified when it releases now. So maybe it is in the make.

Hopefully.

Have already emailed Sony with no result. I also signed up to be notified when other seasons of Fame came out. I am watching Fame I now. I try to only watch a show at time to make it last as long as it can. I know I will have withdrawal when I finish them all and have no more to watch. How Sony can think that Fame has no fan base to buy the seris I do not know!

I'm a Fame fan also. I have a lot on VHS, but I'm afraid they are getting old. I just don't understand, why every other show comes on DVD but this.

If anyone can confirm the correct email address I will also bombard them but Sony did not respond to the previous email.

I would also write them or email them if anyone can help. That is what we need to do, like we did with the first season. Sony or others don't usually answer.

New Generation of “Fame” FOUND ON THE INTERNET. WRITE MGM OFFICAL WEBSITE, NOT THE SONY WEBSITE, EVEN THOUGH SOME HOW RELATED.
Oct 14th, 2008 | By Blog Editor | Category: Newest Posts, Young Adult Dancers
For all the kids who grew up with the 1980s versions of Coco, Raul, Montgomery, and Doris, it’s time to


1980 Fame, revisited for 2009claim their own Fame.

Under director Kevin Tancharoen–who has worked on plenty of dance-related projects–up-and-coming singers, dancers and musicians in today’s US arts scenes will play the students who take on four years at the High School for the Performing Arts (P.A.) with dreams of claiming a place in a spotlight after graduation.

This recreation of Fame follows P.A. hopefuls who live and breathe ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop, and modern dance. They’ll be joined, as well, by aspiring theater and film actors and poets.

Some of the real-life rising stars to play dancers in this new version of Fame will include Kherington Payne as Alice, Kristy Flores as Rosie, and Paul McGill as Kevin.

The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) lists Debbie Allen among the cast members. But, her role and her status are labeled as “rumored.”

This remake of Fame comes on the wake of the widely popular So You Think You Can Dance, and at the same time as Dirty Dancing: The Classic Story On Stage revs up its American tour.



Though she fell short on So You Think You Can Dance, Kherrington gets another shot at stardom in her role as Alice, a ballet dancer.“The original Fame premise is still vitally compelling,” Tom Rosenberg, producer of the new Fame, said in a press release. “We have assembled a gifted group of actors, dancers and musicians who are just starting out and have a true affinity for the characters they’re playing. They are going through the same competition and artistic process in real-life as they strive to make a name for themselves.”

Fame, which MGM will begin filming in late November, is scheduled to premiere in September of 2009, one year before the original film’s 30th anniversary.

“The negotiation between fame and real talent is much more immediate and something with which audiences are familiar,” MGM chairman Mary Parent said. “There’s a universal relatability to experiencing the trials and tribulations associated with pursuing one’s dream, regardless of the arena.”

Tried 3 times for the 136 episode set from the company out of Canada. Definately a rip off. Season 1 with one extra episode introducing Dwight and a few music videos. Add my name to Sony for the release of all seasons! I'm a FAME fanatic!

Even though I think they are the same company, I would go to the MGM site, not the sony. I hope they listen.

If the guy/girl who has the VHS of season 2 and 3 can convert into DVD. I would pay him/her rather than Sony or any other RIP OFF website

Hiya, I`ve just discovered this. I too have Season 1 on DVD and would love all the other seasons as well. I used to watch it every Thursday evening in England, as did nearly the whole of my High School. They all suddenly took an interest in me because i did ballet lessons and forever wanted me to show them how i did a double pirouette!! In with the IN crowd at last.!! A few years later i became a professional dancer at the Moulin Rouge in Paris. Please would you submit my message along with all the other messages. You would think in the present economic climate the producers of the show would be glad of the extra revenue releasing all seasons would generate.Thanks.

we could try the bbc arcives they would have it as they paid to reansmit at least the fist 3 seasons before they got rid of the good writers and things got a little strange fab show still love it great memories

I just don't get it either, because they put so many other shows out on dvd and not the rest of the Fame Series. I've been looking and looking. Boy that drives me nuts! WE WANT SEASON 2 AND SO ON ETC.

Waiting, waiting, waiting (foot tapping) for more seasons of Fame. Just adding my voice to the list of folks waiting for this, Purchased season 1 as soon as it came out and it brought back soooo many GREAT memories.
I miss shows of this quality amidst the current wasteland of un-reality shows.

born in 69, fame was my path to the real world and all the shi. that comes with it. i agree star maker..............what a song.i am going to an eightes party....punk,romantic i think not fame, a party in my trainers and leg warmers..yipeeeee

I've set up an online Petition to try and get Fame released on DVD.

If we all get involved then they've got to listen, well fingers crossed, lol!

Hope you don't mind me adding my two pennorth but I MAY be able to help. NO PROMISES but I thought I'd test the water. I am a journalist (excuse the typing - disabled journalist at the moment) and have interviewed Valerie Landsburg. I am also in touch with David Greenlee - desperately trying for Carol Mayo Jenkins and Carlo imperato. Would you like me to pressurise the press = with enough people behind me we MAY get some publicity and shame the companies into releasing the series. I COULD ask Val (who has Debbie Allen's ear) and David if they'd support the call for the series to be released. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WILL SAY BUT IS IT WORTH A TRY? Valerie is LOVELY and David is amazing. The reason I went online was to try to find the Fame Magazines even to borrow while I go in hospital for a wrist replacement. Any ideas where I can get them. I have a screenplay with MGM at the moment so I may be able to suggest it would be to their benefit. I'd need everyone behind me though, if I was to do that. Has anyone else got Valerie Landsburg's Grown Up album?
Hope you don't mind me contacting you.

Please who ever the powers that be are. Please put out all of the episodes of Fame TV show, all the specials on DVD and all awesome music from this incredibly awesome TV series Fame on CD. Fame is one of my all time favorite TV shows.When I was a teen in the 80's I would cry historically if I could watch Fame. I have season 1 of Fame and can't weight to have the complete series, specials on DVD and all the awesome music on CD. I love Fame and can't get enough of it. Fame will live forever.

Thanks to the Tv-series Fame, I am now a professional musical theatre performer (and I studied at one of the schools like Fame in London). I currently live in Holland, but I'm about to emigrate to London.
When I watched the first series on DVD again, they hadn't lost any of the quality I thought they had when I first saw them.
Shame on the companies with the rights for not releasing them yet. I also would pay good money for them !!
I want to add my name and email to the cause of getting all 6 seasons released on DVD as soon as possible.

I would like to hear from the person that said he had season 1,2 and 3 on VHS. Can you put them on DVD (I'll pay you of course), or would you maybe sell the VHS tapes to me ?

This is the person I mean :

Thank you

I'm happy to hear that they are finally releasing season 2 of Fame on DVD, but I'm disappointed that it's only available as a boxed set with season 1.

I bought season 1 on DVD when it was released a couple of years ago. I'm not happy that I have to buy season 1 again just to get season 2.

They should release season 2 as a standalone set, as well as the season 1/2 boxed set, for those people who already bought season 1.

I also have bought series 1 on DVd for my son whi is doing performing arts, I thought i could get the other series for xmas for him. very surprised they are not released

Hey all Fame seasons 1&2 in a box set will be released on September 15th on amazon.com just to let you know.

Now I don't think it is fair for them to put season one with season two, because most of us who are fans already bought season one. Please tell them to split them up. That is so not right! It is a way to make money off of the customer and in today time we don't need it. Like they did with Star Wars. Kept coming out with something new, and we had 100 copies. Someone Listen!

Yes, I agree, we don't want Season 3 to come out with 1 and 2, will go over and over. Split them up the powers that be.

Box 1 and Box 2 not together. Thank You!

I just bought the first season of fame and have watched all 16 episodes over the course of around 2 weeks. i fell in love with this show. i would really like to see all the seasons come out because i would definitely buy them. so whoever owns the rights please start selling them, the amount of money you will make is unimaginable, people around my age and people 13 and older everywhere will want it. please, make my life this much better and sell all 6 seasons.

Hi fellow Fame Fans..............Walmart has Season one and two sperate to buy at 14.96. Season one has Gene Anthony Ray on it's cover and Coco on Season two. So go buy it and have fun! I also saw one on ebay with Season one and two together with what looked like Debbie Allen on the cover !

PLEASE,I,M REQUSTING THAT FAME,TV,SERIES,HART TO HART,EIGHT IS ENOUGH BE PUT ON DVD,MY FAMILY AND I ARE HUGE FANS OF THESE SHOWES,PLEASE PUT ON DVDS,AND THE SAME FOR FAMILY,TV,SERIES,THESE SHOWS ARE SO GREAT TO WATCH,THANK YOU,FROM HUGE FAN,MAGDALENA HOLLY

I just searched for some old TV series and movies and found that Fame season 2 is sold at Amazon.com. I know that I bought season 1 at Walmart and I am going to keep checking with them and online to see if the remaining series come out soon.

It has been announced that the Resion 2 DVd for the second sesaon of Fanme will be released on 18th January 2010 in the U.K.
