Seen that page before...interesting more historically than artistically, I guess. Not an awful lot of clips which I'm curious to check out, but it's nice to know they're out there. That Merry-Go-Round clip is awesome. And faintly heartbreaking to see cute, innocent Emitt so obviously bursting with talent before he turned bitter and disillusioned. Anyone notice how the bridge of "Matthew & Son" is near identical to the chorus bit from Tears for Fears' "Mad World"? Perversely interesting to watch the Cowsills on the Johnny Cash show, only to note how Susan Cowsill's onstage charisma is roughly 12 times more than the rest of the family combined.

I do, although it'll probably mean less and less over time: they come from two distinctly different traditions, especially in tems of editing. Three camera shows descend directly from live theatre and the director's role in the booth cutting the show live, whereas one camera shows descend from the earliest days of cinema intended to be edited together from a lot of short takes and singular setups. The twain rarely met over the years. On American TV, dramas were single camera and sitcoms were multi-camera, and they developed largely in isolation from each other for a long, long time. The blurring between the two forms is really fairly recent. - -SER ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2006 14:41:28 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: Re: Go Fish!
