Gene Simmons' Rock School
Despite the premise for this program being nothing more than a rehash of "School of Rock," I've seen two episodes on VH1. It's fun to watch kids react to Simmons's larger-than-life persona in a classroom setting. BUT, I find something very annoying. The video is seemingly vertically stretched at random, as if the editors couldn't make decide which aspect ratio to use. I find this very distracting and damaging to what could be an otherwise tolerable reality TV show. If this is intentional, what were they thinking? I sure don't get it.

I wonder if they shot some at 16 x 9 and most of it at 4 x 3. Some networks will not take 16 x 9 footage, so it's possible they just stretched it. Odd that the network would take that, but stranger things have happened in QC departments.

A little trivia for you guys. Gene Simmons was actually a 7th grade history teacher before KISS ever existed. So he's not completely out of place standing in front of a classroom full of kids.

Is this show just a blatant rip-off of "Rock School?" (Not "School of Rock," but the doc about a Philadelphia school for rock musicians.)
http://www.rockschoolthemovie.com I haven't seen either, but sounds, in legal terms, "confusingly similar." Kevin |

VERY similar

I wonder whether the movie or the TV show went into production first. They both make the other look unoriginal. |
