...but it's not in HD.

It sure is fun to watch the guy play the sax and keyboards while Brian is SKATING. We see him do some crossovers, a jump set up, then back to the band again. I enjoy Frankie's backup singers' choreography, too, but geeeeez..................... :-(

I am watching the Frankie Valli Special right now.
Does anyone know who the female is that Brian Boitano brought out on the ice to sit in a chair??
Love this show - it is really great!!!

[Tonichelle]

sar - was wondering that myself... I wasn't really looking but it could have been Linda (his coach)... or his mom?

[Mathman]

That was great! Thanks, Dee.

You know who I really liked? Caryn Kadavy.

Good to see Lang and Tcherneshev again.

I think I will go back to my Yuka Sato avatar!

[Tonichelle]

Yuka rocked!

the show was hit or miss for me... I still prefer the 'old pros' to the newbies

and Shae-Lynn is a one trick wonder... ho hum

Here is where you can write to Musselman's Apple Sauce to thank them for sponsoring the show.

Speaking of Apple Sauce, I always wished Stars on Ice would do Disney's Johnny Appleseed -- the world's greatest animated short feature -- with Kristi Yamaguchi as Johnny and Scott Hamilton as the Guardian Angel.

Tonichelle - now that you mentioned Linda, it definitely could have been her. Did she have long or short hair when she was coaching back when?
Thanks

I thought of you when I saw Yuka and then wondered why you got rid of your avatar.

Thanks

I think she had short hair, but that was 20 years ago, and my nearly 4 year old little mind at the time didn't find that info relevant

I just realized this weekend that January marks 20 years of me being obsessed with this sport... time flies!

The lady is Jeanne Martin, she is/has been an agent for many skaters, and is a very good friend of Brian's. I believe she is the one who helped put together the Skate for Life benefit show for the Ara Parseghian Foundation back in the 1990s. A very nice lady.

[Tonichelle]

thanks mememe!

Did you guys catch the USFS ad for U.S. Nationals. While they were showing Mirai Nagasu the voiceover said, will last year's champions defend their titles? Or will a new generation take center stage?

So now there is a new generation behind Mirai that we are supposed to be on the lookout for?

[R.D.]

I think they're just trying to hype the Nats. If there is indeed a new generation moving up, I have no idea about it. Right now, the main threats are the Top Four from last year, and possibly Meissner as spoiler, if she gets her act together.
