"Mean Green Mother" seems to have been part of Ashman and Oz's conception of the film version from the beginning. I honestly don't know if it helps the film. It kind of plays like an unnecessary 11 O'clock number now that "Don't Feed the Plants" is back in.

I saw the first episode, and I kind of liked it, but it didn't immediately grab me like Strike Back did. I'll probably watch the first season, at least. Agreed that George is fantastic here.

Brenda Starr was great when I was eleven, and it was on a local WB affiliate at 3PM on a Saturday.
