"Terrible"

By McBurgermeister, Oct 11, 2006

The song Makin' It by David Naughton was on the American Top 40 Charts for 16 weeks, and in the top 10 for 3 of them. The television show, a cheap spin off of Saturday Night Fever was only on 6 weeks and they would have cancelled it sooner if only it wasn't paid for. This show was such a cookie cutter ripoff of Saturday Night Fever that they should have done it right and got Travolta to play his role and made it about a kid that worked in a hardware store. At least then it would not have been familiarly offensive. I gave it a 2.2 only because of the theme song which was most excellent to roller skate to.moreless
