Don't forget Josh Groban! I also really like that movie.

"Affinity/affection for the source material" - the CW TV shows don't always succeed on this, but it always feels like they tried at least. They didn't kill off Jimmy Olsen without ever acknowledging his name, at least.

The Bears were my favorite part of Cedar Point for many, many years.They were part of an enclosed area, and inside was their tree house and jungle gym equipment.

If memory serves, the Peanuts characters replaced the Bears along the way.
