The original has a few more "showstopping" songs. The costumes needed to be tighter and skimpier. The only improved scene was the pyrotechnics for the birth of Rocky. Laverne Cox is a bit too female-looking! Tim Curry was a more accurate cross-dresser. The "Castle Usherette" was better than 10 minutes of just red lips, a cop-out to save money as It was too expensive in 1975, to shoot the original titles with the movie clips. The new Dr. Frank-N-Furter should have been Miley Syrus, who can look very androgynous, if she wants to. Seems to drag a bit in the middle. (Sorry) Watch the old movie and compare them to each other. It seems more like a tribute show and it plays so much better if you think of it that way. IMDb "User critics" are calling it the worst TV remake ever? "Peter Pan" was far worse with a dreadful performance by Christopher Walken as Capt. Hook. How quickly they forget! I own several versions of "Scrooge" and the comparison here is that there just might be room in my big disc collection for another RHPS version as well!
