I’ve been wanting to watch “Peter Pan” Live with Allison Williams and Chris Walken last night but I wasn’t home so I DVR’d it. I’m planning to watch it tonight or sometime this weekend. I’ll review it after I watch it. I’m sure it’s good, though. I’ve always loved the Peter Pan story.
I’m sure it got a lot of ratings on TV, though.

Fortunately, you will be able to scroll ahead through the boring parts, of which there were hundreds, and not lose all the energy to the numerous, intrusive Wal-Mart commercials.
It got less than half the ratings of last year’s dreck-fest Sound of Music. Despite that, NBC plans to keep trying, and I’m glad. Eventually they will stop casting stars who can’t perform up to the level required, and hire talented less famous actors who have paid their dues on Broadway. The best performances were easily by the veteran stage performers playing Wendy and her parents the Darlings.
I actually find it very strange on why they would have a girl play Peter Pan. Of course, I know this isn’t the first time that a girl played Peter Pan but it’s just wrong, in my opinion. It’s just really weird, lol.

That thing about having women play Peter is actually a 100 year-old tradition, dating back to 1904. But you’re right. Plenty of boys could have done it, and then the sexual ambiguity of two babes calling each other Mother and Father wouldn’t seem so weird.
