Donny and Marie Case: A Dismissal of A Tv Show
David Handler criticizes Donny and Marie for turning a wholesome teen act into a cynical hybrid of fantasy and rock. He insists the show's slick packaging distorts the performers, lip synchs production numbers, and parades a glam Hollywood veneer over their genuine talents. The piece condemns the mismatch between clean cut image and edgy presentation.
