I need to move my Glee icons to dreamwidth.

I was thinking about last night's Rocky Horror Glee, and saw someone wonder about the teens who saw the episode without having seen Rocky Horror beforehand (and is it only me who remembers the film originally being Rated X at least it's release on VHS in the early 90s?). Yes, everyone has been exposed to The Time Warp, but what will the teens think of the bits of the storyline? Won't they be spoiled for the film itself?

I can't be the only kid born in the 70s whose first exposure to RHPS wasn't from actually going to a midnight film, which I did in July of 1987 in Harvard Yard when I was doing a summer thug at Tufts. No, the first time I saw clips from it, and people getting up to "do" the show was in Fame when Doris and Ralph go to the show and Doris ends up taking off her shirt and joins in - did they go to the one in The Village in NY? I finally went to that sometime during the summer of 1989. I was probably 12 or 13 when. I saw Fame, but in retrospect I was probably too young - there was a lot I didn't 'get'. But when the tv show started, i was such a die-hard fan. I never missed a week! I think I still have e episode where they did Othello on videotape somewhere.

I don't think I've seen RHPS in a movie theater since maybe 1992 but it was a staple of Halloween parties through the 90s. My daugter sang The Time Warp at her pre-kindergarten graduation, and I've shown her Columbia tap dancing via YouTube.

While I'm waiting with excitement for Darren Criss to show up - in two weeks! Yay! - and looking forward to Puck's return, and loved the somgs as usual - possibly more than normal as there wasn't a Major Rachel Number - I suffered Will-squick. Again. And I'm just not into Sam. But I have preordered the Christmas Episode and for all the issues Glee has, at least it's not as bad as a certain piece on the Marie Claire website.
