I think this was one of the most natural scenes to recite: Hayley is a singer who performs on a stage, has a stunning voice and if I was one of the really rewarding actors with eyes full of joy and emotion Amazing ^^
@@cnward80 Pat Benatar did it originally. I agree with the people who say Haley sings it better... Pat Benatar is a great singer (check out "Promises in the Dark") but the way she sang this song is kinda bland. Haley adds more "flair" to the melody line. There's a studio version with drums that sounds even better
It's a TV show so you aren't suppose to ask questions like that :-P In reality though, someone singing and playing solo guitar in a talent would have used a backing track; something played over the auditorium PA to accompany her performance
None of the kids on the show has even a single black friend. Anyone ever notice that? The viewers are almost all-white too. Amazing how that just slips past everyone in 2017.
Ray Gordon Teaches Chess 1: The show is an extremely dramatized autobiography, so most characters are probably based on people he knew and interacted with in the 80s 2: The lack of diversity is not so strange for 80s suburbia. I grew up as one of the *very* few minority children in my elementary school 3: There are recurring black characters 4: It’s a fun show. Try not to complicate something fairly simple
I know what the show is, and lived through the time period in Phialdelphia, after moving from NYC. Usually when one bases a show "l;oosely" on their past they dont' inject "reality" into fiction. The outcome is, um, "interesting," to put it one day. the lack of diversity is still telling. Happy Days had an episode where even Fonzie's "cool" couldn't get white kids to a party with a black kid in attendance. That was a more powerful life lesson than anything Patton Oswalt did. Also Fonxie breaking his leg with the motorcycle jump to warn all the kids who would otherwise have imitated him. You see very little on this show which addresses Adam's actual life, it's more like the 1980s done as a 2015-style reality show.
Ray Gordon Teaches Chess And? This is a mostly fictional and vaguely idealized version of his childhood. Does it need to teach a moral lesson or confront harsh truths for it to be worth watching? Yes, plenty of good shows did (particularly in the 90s), but there is nothing wrong with this show for being more comedy and less reality.
The morality plays at the end say it has a message, just not one I respect much. Obviously its audience likes it. I was a big Dukes of Hazzard fan because it was very clear whot he good guys and badf guys were. I only started watching this show because it beat out Westide during the 2013 pilot season and I was hoping to see Lexi Ainsworth in primetime. Hayley Orrantia was interesting because she had very little acting experience but waqs stealing a lot of the show. the lack of diversity didn't strike me until much later. To whites, we're just fans, but to minorities, we're fans of a predictably and very stereotypically WHITE show. Artistically, that is considered a liability.
Well the level of humor that one laughs at will correlate with their IQ and life experience. With the internet convincing everyone that they know everything we have a lot of delusional, easily fooled people out there who won't react very kindly to being informed fo their ignorance. Google is not anyone's brain even if they think it is. Those who know have no reason to educate those who don't.
This was the moment The Goldbergs "jumped the shark" from quasi-reality into pure fantasy. Problem is this event never happened. Erica didn't exist. It was Eric, they changed it to a girl. She's the new Chuck Cunningham. In the video on my channel in which I say that fans of The Goldbergs should be sterilized so they can't breed, I cite this episode as the worst of the entire show. Total break from reality.
Then that's when it jumped. Horrible show, horrible people othe than Hayley Orrantia and they are delaying her singing career which is another reason to pray they cancel it but ABC wants her on film so they renewed through season six. Erica Goldberg never existed.
I keep TV on in the background while I train at chess for many hours a day. The Hulu subscription is unlimited so when there's nothing else to do....This is a digital space so there is nothing to "get out of."
