www.bustle.com/articles/190879-the-meat-loaf-joke-in-rocky-horror-was-a-meta-tastic-nod-to-the-movieThe Meat Loaf Joke In 'Rocky Horror' Was A Meta-tastic Nod To The Movie  By KRISTIE ROHWEDDER Lest you think Michael Lee Aday was not part of FOX’s made-for-TV adaptation of cult classic musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show, you’ve got another loaf of meat, er, think coming. Yes, there was A Meat Loaf Rocky Horror Moment during Thursday evening's show. Shortly after 2k16 Eddie (Adam Lambert) shuffles off this mortal coil, Frank (Laverne Cox) throws a birthday dinner for Rocky (Staz Nair). And during said dinner scene, Columbia (Annaleigh Ashford) says she hopes the platter of meat in the middle of the table “is not meatloaf again.” I repeat: Columbia doesn't want to eat meatloaf again. *Stands up out of seat.* *Nods head approvingly.* *Applauds sincerely.* *Grabs a forkful of meatloaf.* *Sets forkful of meatloaf back down because yikes.* Brava, The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do The Time Warp Again. Brava. Such a perfect specimen of a meta joke. Get it? Get it? No, Columbia is not complaining because she's sick of eating bread loaf-shaped meat dishes. She's talking about rock musician and actor Meat Loaf. Because — spoiler alert for anyone who hasn’t seen the original movie — Meat Loaf plays Eddie in the 1975 film. And — another spoiler alert — Dr. Frank-N-Furter chases Eddie into a meat locker and murders him with a ice pick. And — one more spoiler alert but seriously what are you waiting for go watch the movie already you're only cheating yourself here — Dr. Frank-N-Furter and Co. eat Meat Loaf, er, Eddie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f53Dq35BN8Published on Sep 4, 2014 Rocky Horror Picture Show - Dinner Scene - Eddie!?

culturess.com/2016/10/21/foxs-rocky-horror-picture-show-get-the-horror-right/Fox’s Rocky Horror Picture Show Only Gets the Horror Right by Kristen Lopez Fox enters the world of musical adaptations with a High School Musical-inspired interpretation of the 1976 midnight movie. Watching Fox’s adaptation of Richard O’Brien and Jim Sharman’s Rocky Horror Picture Show last night was about as big a “jump to the left” as you can get. Director Kenny Ortega, known for his own cult musical Newsies and best known to millenials as the director of the High School Musical series, takes the basic tenets of the 1975 midnight classic and waters everything down to a gray soup. It’s like watching someone dance the hokey pokey who thinks they’re doing the Time Warp because they’re both dances where the actions are described. In a world where The Sound of Music, Grease Live, and Hairspray will be adapted for television, The Rocky Horror Picture: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again (get it, because it’s the same thing but not) is easily one of the worst adaptations out there. THE GOODTim Curry and Ben Vereen They had to find someone associated with the original to come back, if only to please “memberberry” eaters like myself. Tim Curry immortalized the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his presence only reminds us of why Laverne Cox fails. Curry suffered a stroke a few years ago, and it was great seeing him shine in this. His Criminologist isn’t as active as Charles Gray was, for obvious reasons, but Curry singing the film’s final lines put a smile on my face. Ben Vereen shows why he’s still a legendary song-and-dance man as the unique choice for Dr. Scott. The other actors’ limitations required him to tone down his superlative singing, but he rocked the hell out of an Albert Einstein wig! The Set Design The entire affair had a budget on par with an episode of Glee – and looked like it filmed direct from McKinley High during the “Floor Show” number. Frank-N-Furter’s (Laverne Cox) laboratory definitely gave off a crypt-like look compared to the original’s cold sterility. It played tribute to the world of Frankenstein, but with a bizarre 1950s edge; Rocky’s home is a Coca Cola cooler. Adam Lambert
With other musicals there are generally two-three songs I’ll demand perfection from. Here, the minute the first two songs ended horribly I knew the rest were in danger. Thank the gods for Adam Lambert as Eddie. “Hot Patootie” is such a fun song, whether it’s in the show or on the radio that it couldn’t fail! Lambert went full glam rock, shredding the lyrics without needing tempo or chord changes that alter the song’s drive. Once he met his inevitable demise, the show was doomed. Note to future creators: Give Adam Lambert all the roles. (P.S., I did enjoy the “Not meatloaf again” joke at the dinner table.) Ivy Levan Ivy Levan’s been on my radar since she performed the fantastic, should have been Oscar-winning, theme song to Spy. Her vocals conjure up emotions of Ella Fitzgerald and she sets the right, though unsustainable, tone of the show with the opening song “Science Fiction/Double Feature.” I could see her as a smokey Sally Bowles if anyone wants to adapt Cabaret….or not.

www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/tv-ratings-rocky-horror-lifts-940359?utm_source=twitterOCTOBER 21, 2016 8:55am PT by Kate Stanhope TV Ratings: 'Rocky Horror' Lifts Fox, NBC Comedies Fall  The two-hour taped musical special pulled a 1.7 rating among adults 18-49. Fox's Rocky Horror Picture Show remake gave the network a jolt on Thursday. The two-hour special drew a 1.7 demo rating among adults 18-49. That gave Fox a sizable boost from its 0.8 rating average last Thursday (where new episodes of Rosewood and Pitch aired), but it was a steep drop from Fox's last musical special for Grease (4.3 adults), which had the added cache of being filmed live. (Rocky Horror was taped.) Fox came second to CBS, which won the evening with a steady outing of Thursday Night Football (3.0 adults) in its last week on the network for the season before moving to NBC.
