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?
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 have the first serie on DVD
how and where can I buy the other series?
thanks
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?
hope they will be released soon.!
of hights and Iamscared of bats too .
I got down sydrome My name is robbie breckon One time fame on records 20 years
this epsoide reminds me troy got a problem I understand his handicap is
coco help him to sing that sons songs I love that song
We should form a petition to the cable/dish providers!!
I love it.
They really need to bring out the other Series!!
I miss it!!
=(
Its obviously in demand, so why the continued delay????
I did read that 20th century fox had taken over the rights?
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!!!!
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
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.
Come on Sony, sort it out!
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.
i'll email that sony address and hope ALL of you do too!!!!!!
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.
Hopefully.
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.”
I miss shows of this quality amidst the current wasteland of un-reality shows.

If we all get involved then they've got to listen, well fingers crossed, lol!
Hope you don't mind me contacting you.
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.
This is the person I mean :

Thank you

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.

What's the hold up????
We already know Fame costs and right here's where we start paying...in a test of patience! lol!
Release the rest of them already!!!!!
Now I just saw Fame the movie the second one. I liked it more then I thought I would. I liked it better then one. Try it, I think for Fame fans others may not go for it.
Does anyone know if and when season 3 is being released please?
when I was a kid I watched FAME every week from the very first episode to episode 136. I bought all the LP´s and watched all the shows shown on TV. A few weeks ago I found season 1 in a shop here in Denmark, where I live. Yesterday I couldn´t let it go, so I was up almost until morning seeing one episode after another listening to the wonderful songs and remembering how it was to be youn in those days long gone c¨,) I can only say whar everybody else allready have asked for: PLEASE RELEASE ALL SEASONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

As that is as insulting as the tital for the show I have loved before my Theater school training days.
The show did more than inspire you it made you feel as if you were worthy enough to count in the performing world.
And that sez alot for just a show from the 80s, straight to your hearts.
I am so Out raged, to find out that after only 1-2 seasons of Fame was shown in America.
Not even kids who grew up loving the show from New York City in the USA got to see the other Seasons of our beloved Fame series.
Blame goes to the buricratic BS set up by the infuriating, close minded, unfeeling Net work of Chanel 4, And MGM, now Fox joining in on the idiots that claim No need for the release of the rest of our show? Excuss me!! F U!! Fame friends unite, right now, & knock down the walls of this blinding misjustice still upon Fame friends every where! Seriously pathetic, that they just sit on they're A **Ses, while we the Fame faithful, remain without proper satisfaction, that wouldn't just benefit us, but they would profit from the sales heard $ around the world. No real show todaze in this sad me Amercan Idolized GEN.
Could compare to the warm heart of Fame, and it's still loved Cast. RELEASE 3-6 already, we have waited too long, and yet we still are?! Storm through the Gates of insanity, stupidity, and Let the Man know how we feel! Cuz if we don't Ban together out there, we will be alone. (I know that was a cheesy attempt to make you cheer, up.) But just Imagine our Anthony Imperato (Danny Amatullo Saying it, & it makes you smile. And the beloved Gene A Ray (Leroy Johnson) "Way to go Amatullo!!" Yeh we definetly have a way to go but we do need all the Fame friends to HELP! So add me to the list if it will. Cuz "I aint no fool, I know the Man is just talking out of they're you know whatz at us, not to us. & they don't take our voices seriously enough.
Maybe this will help us? We all have to get them to wake up the Wizard, so he can play his piano. And yes grant us our wishes for Seasons 3-6 The complete Fame 1980s show on Dvd. Including the Live Appearances, they did. which show cased they're indivisule talents, as real Performers.
Take that Glee--k (club) that actually stole ideas from ol Fame eps. Yeh, that's what I'm saying, cheap knock offs, don't deserve a Tv audiance. So don't buy what they are trying to sell you todaze. Your better than that. I want to get them Cancelled & sold over seas, like our beloved Fame was. Even though from what I tried to watch of it, deserves such a thing to befall such Cra--
But a true blue pal from South Bronx, who over came kids Cancer, eased on down the road, to a remarkable recovery.
Now that was not realistic, but hopeful, & in this daze in age we all need a special place to retreat to.
Yes? Common USA Fame Friends, sign up, shout, Call the Number on the Dvd Fame seasons 1-2 boxset, and make yourselves heard as well!!
I have but one voice, to give to Laringitis, trying to get through to these idiots from the Consumer Fox line. Phone them, not E- Mail, though, cuz they need an ear full, from Tv lovers, which these Unfeeling Manequins, saddly are not. Good luck!!! Break legs!!
Add me to your cause,
(Your Petition please!) Cuz I hate Censoreship, & what they did was completely un American, and unfair to us, the (WE THE PEOPLE!) Forever Loyal to our Fame Friends, who also got the shaftt!! (Watch the sad Bring back Fame On Utube, along with the only other eps. submitted, by just as angry, and unjustifyed Fame friends. Frustrated by doing tyme, waiting for the Sunshine again. RELEASE FAME 3-6 Love your Fellow Fame friend forever- BB, Now let's Go get em!!
& I believe Fame, made me feel for others more then myself, at times.
And see them for they're pain, instead of my own selfish ones.
Even on the lonliest of Daze, did my Fame Friends come through for me. & make me feel better, and smile.
So how dare these Jerks still with hold our show from us.
We gotta let them know that they can't continue doing such an ignorant act against us.
Call the Fox Consumer line- on the Dvd box set Fame 1- 2 But carefully, don't be foolish ok, don't attache them. Be like a meak animal with a passionate need, with a hidden Stinger.
Ok, Just use Tact, be nice, cuz you get more with Honey, not Vinegar.
Or Danny Amatullo's Fire ball, punk, take no sh--t from anyone, attitude.
Even though it's harder to be decient toward such F--n C-- Suc--s!!
As these Coorperate jack a---s!
Just breathe, & banter with them.
Because they're liable to only hang up on us, then listen, that's the Challenge.
Make our feelings know'n without, worse actions, or repercustions, that will set our cause back, not forward.
But remember, we're in charge. With our dignity in tact.
We are to be the Victorous ones, this time
& future Gen's who will definetly benefit as well, by our Winning out this time.
Let's make them understand, just how special Our show was to us.
Through our constant, & consistant, (friendly) Bararges, maybe we can Ban together & make them listen finally?
Hope so.
We need to keep positive, & maybe we'll be able to make them see the Profits they are missing out on by failing to grasp they're stupity by not releasing Fame Seasons 3-6 to a Dvd sellable, 3 box sets, two seasons each, just like they did with the first two.
Complete with the live shows they put on. & more Fan- fair on the bonus disk, featuring more then a little pathetic Fame then and now, which was more about the New movie, then our beloved Fame Friends. & another insult to us, real the faithful Fame Friends.
We can only try, then try again, till they get it, & we finally will get what we want soo badly.
Not more Frustrations, from Blind, deaf, & dumb, Coorperate Fk'rs.
Been there, We're done with that!!
Ok, I'm off my soap box-(set) now.
"My Fame Friends, we must Unite, & Conquere!"
"Thank you Doris, we'll phone you too..."
Next!
& remember Break legs!
Love - Your Fellow Fame Friend Forever- BB
And sometimes perfect condition depending on the seller.
At Amazon . Com Just sign in, start up an ACC. & look at what they got.
But becareful how you word stuff, cuz they sometimes can't understand what your really searching for.
You can also check out my reviews for the stuff I was lucky enough to find.
Don't forget to Break legs,
Love Your Fame friend Forever - BB
Also some fun, live full vids, if you are patient enough to look for them. of some of the live shows, Original, & future Cast line up did.
Wish I had more info, for everyone, but I will only give to you what I know.
Fellow Danny Friends, sorry if your looking to see Season 3 ep. 17 Sheer will, When our poor Danny is faced with Cancer.
& Doris, & the rest, try & help him survive through it.
We all need friends like those?
You will only be able to see one or two clips of it, if your lucky. Off of UTube.
And one awesome video, a Fame friend made.
I can't believe how rare this episode is.
I even looked on FanCast, NBC.
Trust me don't bother.
Like everyone else, they only care to show either what we get to already see, or have in our Dvd Collections.
That are unfairly all we get to own, for now.
Thus the desperate need for this Petition, you just have to sign, to join in the fight, what rightfully belongs to all of us.
& we Fame Friends are not allowed to enjoy at all.
Too bad UTube is the only ones who care.
With they're temporary, Fame kids fix for us.
With a site, not since sadly, (2003?!) has been a great respite for us. Look up Forever Fame UTube.com
Just for those of you who still care, & love the show, & till we can get Fox to agree to release Seasons 3-6 on Dvd finally.
I hope I helped those who didn't know about these sites, till now.
Silly isn't it?
But when you have a great passion, for a warm hearted, feeling you get when you watch, such a wonderful show.
It may brighten your day, & make you feel your not alone out there.
After all...
Oh & keep calling Fox Consumer number, off the box sets, for Seasons 1-2 of Fame 1982 show.
Remember to play nicee, to The Coorperate idiot. Ask for the guy in charge of making this a reality.
(Mr. Kwan) Who requested a petitions just like this one, to be sent to Fox, by We the Mad as he-- People!!
(I just found out, for us all.)
& you can voice your opinions, as well to this Coorperate Toadey, who has no idea what is to love Fame, as much as we do, Or that after Fame Seasons 1-2 we were not allowed to see 3-6 cuz we were not from the UK, & the world.
I'm Sorry UK, & world out there, Fame Friends, again, I'm not mad at you for this outrageous, and un American abuse, of authority, that B, by the network of good ol NBC, & Ol' MGM. Now Fox is to blame
For keeping our show 3-6 from us?! Anyone
That has pull, pull. After all a qoate from the very mouth of Danny Amatullo: "It's not what you know in this business, it's who you know!" Perfectly spoken Danny, cept I don't know anyone who can work miricals.
But maybe you do?
So it turns out MGM are bankrupt, & stupid. They would only Benefit, & make a ton of pounds, $ from this Marketing injustice that is still being done todaze. Wake up Sh--t heds! It's not just American's who are Pi--sd off, over your big mistake, we're making the call from all around the world, as Fame Friends Unite, to seek our right to own a very special peice of our past, present, & future.
& you can't hold it from us any more.
Call in that number, & let them know how you feel too!!
But seriously Folks,(See what I did there?)Voice your concerns, whatever, over this incredible mistake, that was a mean F---N!!
That was done to the American 80s kids, when our show was cruelly taken away from us.
Sorry Europe, no offence really, just sad, & feel we in America were the ones who lost out on our show.
At least, you got to see the rest, Seasons 3-6
But we were the ones who had no clue then, where our show had gone to.
After Syndication, didn't last for long. The entire Fame Friends were gone.
& we the Faithfull were abandoned in the wings, while Europe got front row seats, for Seasons 3-6.
That's why we are soo Mift at the way our show was taken Over the water, to other lands. & most of us here, didn't even know it till recient events.
That's why we are soo upset!!
MGM did a very stupid thing, & we're even paying for it now, as you can read.
It was unfair mostly to us, in America.
But I am soo glad to hear Fame is still important to everyone, everywhere, & I only hope we all get to have Seasons 3-6 on Dvd, released, to us soon.
Break legs!!!
Love to you all, Fame friends every where!!
We have to Unite, only banning together we can make our dream happen Love U - BB
We have looked att season 1 and 2 for several month now and we really want season 3.
Have a nice day!
Please, please, please, please.
pleaazz holla at me if yaa find a siteee
thanxx.(:
No one's taken the inititive to send this by now long Petition, to those who would make a real difference.
Call the Fox/ Consumer line and tell them you want Fame 3-6 put on Dvd like 1-2 was.
Tell them they'er tease, nearly made up for the real decrepencie against AMERICAN KIDS in the 80s & saddly still now.
It is the only way to get through to these
idiots, who have no idea, what it's like to have a loyal following for a really fun, warm, ingenius show, that can touch your heart. & a Performance show that had integrity. Ok after 3- the eps might be a little sappy, & corny, but American kids in the 80s, had every right to see them, like Europe got to. When our show was cancelled, put in Syndication, then secretly sent over seas, where we never saw it again, & then on to the rest of the Worlds populous. Think Censoreship, then think
Un- American!!!!
& you have the right idea...
Well, is this site ever going to send this Petition?! Survey sez, ???
Well before we're all too old to get to see the Dvd's true complete release & ever enjoy it before the sun burns out???
Call the Fox/ MGM Consumer # on the Dvd box set on 1- 2
Unless you really just don't care & you can dream watching old Utube eps.
But you won't get the entire seasons, or Eps, that way friends, or to watch a fantastic Dvd experiance that you could, if we could only get through to the idiots preventing us from owning, & getting to see our show completely 1-6
But go on & down load illegal eps from where ever???
Good luck to you.
But If anyone really cares, that we were & still are insensitively, & unjustly treated, because MGM made a huge misjustful act against the American public, & the Loyal Fame fans out there.
Who will other wise never be satisfyed, or trust our Net works again. Like Chanel 4, who could have also been held responcible
for this terrible and Unconstitutional
F-up! Against they're own young American Tellivision Audiances.
So pissed, no ones listening out there!!
Cause if you really do care, stop expecting this web site to do things for you, your American, act like it!!!
& Call the Consumer Fox/ MGM # cuz MGM don't care! & Are too stupid, to give us what we deserve, They're bank rupt too but even tho they would be making big $ from the sales by releasing 1-6 Do the math people- 1- 2 3-4 5-6 Two seasons each like 1-2. But imagine I be the first in line to buy my copies.
Fox, and Chan. 4 need to hear from more than one voice. I've said this before, yet only one person read my Message.
The net works, & MGM love you to swallow Lameo shows like Gleek Cl- I mean they like Fame soo much, they have copied from they're original writers for they're own scripts.
What?!
That's right, I wanted to give the show a shott, but instead of original concepts, I watched an old Fame ep, done by the Lypsyncing, geniuses at Gleek. The one about a over wheight Black girl, if you got to see the U tube ep I'm talking about with poor Dusty, don't remember the Gleeker girl
black too??
What are they trying to say?
Fame did it first, but why a black girl?
White girls are fat too.
Anyway off topic
& by the way nothing against fat anyone...
Isn't that American?
Shove rehashed ideas, that were done much better by the kids from Fame who were culprits for using this tired binge, or don't eat solution to the sad state we live in...
Please, American kids are not stupid, like these A--Holes obviously think they are, just misled like my Gen was, when we lost our Fame fam, to everyone else in the world, & the stupidity behind that selfish decission, that still deturmines our being able to own & see 3- 6
Show them we're not stupid, & we're better then settaling on 1- only 2 like good little Zombies, of the American idolze-me Generation.
How dare they treat us so dismissively!!
Call that # America, Fox Consumer line, tell them your going to send in soo many Petitions, for Fame 3- 6 Dvd release finally that they won't be able to breathe
through they're bloated, uptite, closed minded, sycophatic,
sad pathetic existancess!!
They litterally have taken the Spirit, & soul away from the our Special place, some of us called family, & home.
Lov- BB
