Back when I was a kid, we had music, dancing and art classes as part of the curriculum. Over the years as schools have lost funding, they cut those type of classes out of the program. Now kids are not getting that type of education anymore.
Where are they going to get it then? Thanks to Netflix and the Jim Henson Company, Julie Andrews is going to host a show that will educate preschoolers on the Performing Arts.
During the 13 episodes, that will debut early next year, “Ms. Julie and her devoted assistant Gus (Giullian Yao Gioiello) bring the performing arts to a new generation of kids known as the ‘Greenies.’ The Greenies are a diverse group of kids who are mesmerized by all that the arts and creativity has to offer.”
Ms Andrews will be joined by Alec Baldwin, Sara Bareilles, Joshua Bell, Tituss Burgess, Carol Burnett, Chris Colfer, Robert Fairchild, Josh Groban, David Hyde Pierce, Bill Erwin, Ellie Kemper, Idina Menzel, Tiler Peck, and Stomp, and together they will teach the Greenies about things like mime, music, dance, improv, circus arts, voice and so much more.
If anyone can inspire them, it is the woman who played Mary Poppins and Maria. Hopefully this series will motivate kids to learn more than just the 3 Rs and for schools to teach them things besides that. Because there is so much more to life than just reading, writing and arithmetic.
I know that I am beyond grateful that my school was rich in performing arts classes because it made a well rounded person. I feel that kids these days are missing out by having just a basic education. I think this is just what they needed. Let’s hope we get a whole new generation of performers from this because a spoon full of performing arts, helps the boring stuff go down!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db9b1mQLcY0 Wet Hot American Summer is time traveling to the ’90s because Netflix announced today that they are picking it up for a second season. Instead of making the actors play the same age they played 15 years ago, they will get to play themselves 10 years older in Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later. Which means the 40 year olds will be playing themselves in their 20’s. Way confusing, but way funny. So prepare to see them in 1991 in 2017 because that is when the 8 episodes will air.
It has been almost 9 years since Gilmore Girls went off the air and fans have been waiting impatiently for its to return since then. Well their wait is just a little bit longer, but Netflix is bringing it back for 4-90 minute movies later this year. Little by little Netflix has been announcing which one of our favorite Stars Hollows residents are returning and now they revealed the first images from the revival. In them, you get to see Rory, Lorelai,and Luke together again just like old times. Hopefully that will calm the rabid fans down, but I think it makes them even more excited for their favorite show to come back.
Oh and in case you missed it, Melissa McCarthy announced last week that she will in fact be back as Sookie.
How many times have you watched something with a sex scene while the Closed Captioning was on, and the transcribers didn’t know what to write? Well the people that Netflix hired to do it, knew exactly what to do during a very intimate scene between two women. They captioned it, “Lesbianing.” Then when they getting even hotter, they wrote, “Lesbianing intensifies.” What more does a person need to know?
You know what I want to know, what do they call it when two men go at it? I guess I will just have to watch Queer as Folk on the streaming service again to find out. It’s a sacrifice, but one I am willing to make.
Last week, Netflix confirmed that they are bringing back Gilmore Girls for four more episodes. They also announced that Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Scott Patterson, Kelly Bishop, Scott Gunn, and Keiko Agena will all be back, but what about the show’s most famous star Melissa McCarthy? Today, the lovable movie star and Emmy winner took to Twitter to answer if she is going to revisit Stars Hollow, and you are not going to like what she has to say. She said no one has asked her to put on Sookie’s apron again. I don’t know what the producers are thinking because she was my favorite person on the beloved drama. Without her, it just won’t be the same.
What do you think of her not being asked back?
