Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but has anybody seen this show? I caught the Flock of Seagulls episode over the weekend. Pretty cool show (ok, a bit overhyped, but great to see them again).

Kajagoogoo is on tonight (someone better tell Frayo!). Past episodes include Berlin, Romeo Void, Squeeze, FGTH, the Alarm. Anybody see them?

Mike Score's voice was shot. He did seem to be the least personably of the bunch.

I watched the Romeo Void and AFOS episodes and what stuck me was how modestly these people were living. I guess getting your hit songs included on almost every New Wa

Depends on who owns the publishing rights to the songs.

I still have yet to see any of these episodes. I don't have cable but I do have a friend taping them for me.

It's a great show with a really cool premise, in that, it's just a one time thing, but you get to see the member's reactions and find out what everybody is up to present day. I'd second the comment of how modest these folks are living and some of the job

I think this series is the coolest. Of course some of these folks are unwilling to perform (Frankie Goes to Hollywood) and it is apparently a huge dissapointment for the other members. One smack from Exile I believe wouldn't even appear on camera. But
