Today I went to Union for the first time since about April (when I found out that they got renovated). Four of my cousins had to tag along with me (and they're all under 10). There were some women with an unfortunate fashion statement, but I won't go through with it in detail.
Three Stars* (and not people whose names I don't know):
1. The humor in the show. The bit with Men at Work reminded me of the famous "Who's on First" classic, and I liked what Jasper said after "Homework":
"Live in a Chuck E. Cheese's, sing songs 24/7, and never get off this stage?"
Funnier because this was Studio C.
2. They did some more slight adjustments (I think). It was nice to see that not all of the walls were purple, and they added new pictures of the MMBB on the back wall.
3. The place seems much cleaner now that it was in the 2-stage era.
*Three Stars is something that the NHL does every day. It evaluates three individuals who excelled in hockey that day. Sometimes, they come from the American Airlines Center (If you know WHAT and WHERE it is, I will tell you that it was built to replace something called Reunion, where "one of the characters" sang [please do not mention anything about it]).
(Other Notes: I think I have found one of the advantages of Studio C: It seems that the kids are too distracted with the blue screen to mess with the characters. It must have been very bad because when I first visited Union, there was a metal fence that blocked the stage and it was there until '03 or '04, not sure which one.)
During my visit, I thought of something: One of my favorite TV shows did not get its contract extended, essentialy cancelling the show. My belief is that this was for financial reasons and little intrest from the company, despite great fandom (and this show is NOT Full House, which ended about 10-11 years ago, in February '95). My thought is this: If the company knew that they would get huge critisism from fans about something (like implementing random movements), does this mean that the company has some, but not much, intrest in the fans, and more intrest in the money?
