Ode To St Elmo


GREEK - if you haven't got on to it, please do!  They love an 80's homage and this cast photo I particularly love.

This Should Be Reason Enough To Tune In To GREEK


Greek has never been shy about its ’80s pop culture references, and this coming season, the show is going all out — dedicating itself to the spirit of St. Elmo’s Fire. And it’s not just the promo art that pays deep homage to the Brat Pack classic: With the show in its final ten episodes (alas!) and the season kicking off with the graduation of the upperclassmen characters, much of the Greek gang will be dealing with the tricky transition to adulthood that wracked Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, and company with angst. “St. Elmo’s Fire captured that post-college experience, how lost people graduating are,” creator Sean Smith says. “The expectation with a show like ours is always that graduation has to be the end of the story, and I like subverting that. There is life after college, which can be just as interesting as life in college.”



To that end, the season will focus on Casey (Spencer Grammer) finding her way into law school at CRU
(Thanks Inside TV)

GREEK is one of my TOP 5 TV shows and although I am devastated that it is finishing I'm going to savour every one of the last 10 episodes. Any show that references St Elmos's has my vote!

Topher disgrace!

It was Topher's idea. They are trying to turn St Elmo's Fire into a tv series. Why??? They are trying to recreate the success of Friends, but don't these clowns get it! ST ELMO'S FIRE, and even Friends, was about a time and a place. The right cast, the right music, the right audience at the right time. Sure, series about groups of young somethings definitely have potential, but why do they have to go to St Elmo's Bar. My experience of bars that I used to go to 20 years ago is not good, brought to my attention walking through Richmond on Friday night. Most of my faves boarded up and no longer in existence! I am sure St Elmo's would be in the same sorry state these days or turned into a club selling frozen alcoholic beverages as its gimmick. Leave Elmo's in the 80's please???


Lorelai to luke: "C'mon. Rob Lowe pretending to play the saxophone was incredibly hot?
And also, Andrew McCarthy at his best, although "Less than Zero' runs a close second."
