Based on the 1980 motion picture "Fame," this show tells the story of the students and faculty at the New York Art School. It was always their dream. To sing, to dance, to act and play music. They are young, ready to face life and new experiences. They are students who are going to give their best to finish Art School and become famous and rich. However, the fame costs, and the Art School is just the place where they'll pay for it.

Fame started out as a 1980 theatrical movie. Two years later, it found a home on NBC. But in 1984, NBC canned the series and the show moved to syndication for four more years. The show was popular although NBC cancelled it. Various actors performed live concerts during the show's run. less «

• Fame! I want to live forever!

  This experience reminds me of the movie, ' Fame ', and to a lesser extent the TV series, which was also called, ' Fame '.

  9 Superb

  They were all good dancers and musicians! hide « show »

  I remember FAME very well, they were all good dancers and the others great musicians. I remember that when i saw FAME for the first time i tell to my mother that: "-I want to be dancer!"; but, of course, i was not good enough like them. My favorite personage was Leroy, not only because he was a great dancer but also because he lived alone and he always hide this from everyone but never give up his dream, to be a great dancer, so for me he was special, he as a fighter. That's for real a very good TV show and i never gonna forget the teenagers from the art school. I would like to see it again, and that is for sure!

  8.1 Great

  I wanted to BE every dancer on this show! hide « show »

  This show was awesome. Looking back, I still think the themes that they presented throughout are still relevant today (ie teen pregnancy and drug use). Debbie Allen was my favorite character because she seems to care so deeply about all of her students-all of the teachers seemed to participate actively in their students’ lives. Graduating from an Arts school myself, I can confirm the idiosyncrasies and over-the-top melodramas that these teen performers acted out. This show was classic 80's, New York: gritty, street- funny with a lot of heart (and big hair).

  8.4 Great

  The kids from Fame encouraged youngsters around the world to kick their legs high in the air as they jumped off the arm of the settee! hide « show »

  This film took an entertaining look at life in New York's High School for Performing Arts. The film centres on five of the most talented students - Coco the singer, Bruno Martelli the musician, Leeroy the dancer, and actors Montgomery and Raul (Ralph). The film suggested that the High School students were inclined to spontaneous singing and dancing in the street and the canteen. Many of the cast were carried over into the TV series which appeared the following year.

  7.6 Good

  Life In The High School of the Performing Arts hide « show »

  Fame is a great example of a film crossing over and becoming a very good televison show. The film came out and a was a mild hit in 1980 and in 1982 the show was brought to NBC. Several of the film's cast made the transition. Debbie Allen's character Lydia Grant was a small role in the film, but she became the star and the center of the television series. The early years of the show dealt well with the struggles the students have to achieve their ultimate goal of fame in the entertainment world. The show lost some steam near the end of it's run, but all in all, it was a solid televison drama.
