We were in a restaurant scene and we sat at tables while the kids (little did we know some would be future celebrities) did their thing. Somewhere we have Polaroid pictures that they took for us. It wasn't a huge thrill but it was better than seeing Mermaid for the 1000th time.

Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs I enjoyed the "disco" version of the MMC theme, and I also liked the end credits, with the kids just hanging out, playing chess, etc. I remember seeing jigsaw puzzles of the 70s MMC when I was in daycare in elementary school. Due to one of the huge Disney-history books, I thought that Tim Considine and Annette Funicello were hosts (a pic of their guest stint was featured), and so it wasn't many, many, MANY years later on Vault Disney when I would finally view MMC 2.0. I do have memories of MMC 3.0 though when we had those free week-long previews of Disney Channel.

Originally Posted By wahooskipper Yeah, I'm hoping they come out with it on the Vault too because I took it for granted back then (heck, I was 22 and I was like..."whatever"). That was my 15 minutes (well...maybe a few minutes anyway) of fame!

And considering its alumni, I expect the bulk of the 90 minute show will be on MMC 3.0, with heavy emphasis on Justin, Britney and Christina ... like they need more exposure. And I'm crossing my fingers that Lisa Whelchel will be one of the interviews ...!
Originally Posted By ToonKirby Well, that will make up for some of it, he's a great actor - see "Half Nelson" for abundant proof.
Originally Posted By ToonKirby Anyone else watch? The show was better then I thought it would be, even though the 50s and 70s versions were pretty much dealt with in the first 20 minutes.

Originally Posted By danyoung I really enjoyed it. Course, I'm old enough to remember just about all of the original 1950's Mouseketeers by name.

Originally Posted By kennect Not only did I see the show I saw it twice today...I really had no clue of the overall history of it..Gee, during a time when the studio park acted like a real studio.....For anyone that missed it I am sure there will be more opportunities to catch it this week....Now who watched the "Villain" cakes on the Food Network tonight????
