25 years??!? Well that makes me feel like an old bat. Thanks a heck of a lot newbie.

hey 33girl! Oops, my bad - this morning I was watching TV and another promo for the Special came on - it looks like they are actually showing the MOVIE with special behind-the-scenes footage (and focus on the stars of the movie, it seems)!! So sorry for the lack of clarity in the first post

.

33girl, well, at least you can say you were AROUND during the showing of the movie!

I wasn't even alive then!

Great...as if going to my 20th high school reunion wasn't depressing enough!

This is like explaining to a kid what it was like to see Star Wars in a theatre...the first time around!

At first I thought you said porno and was really confused.

Hello Clint's mind, welcome to the gutter.

Ah Clint Me Lad you did it again!!!!!! But that is the fun of it!
i wish I could stay up that late to watch and don't know how to program the damn VCR!
If some one tapes it please make a copy and send to me, I will pay for it.

I can so relate to the movie! After the 35 year Anniv. # 2 and I got back to KC and I pulled out my tape, which is about shot from watching it so manytimes, We had a Great laff and picked out sames as members! What a HOOT!

It was SO fun to watch! I really enjoyed the special before the movie...and well, the movie was hilarious!! I loved the ending, where it tells who went where, and who ended up doing what

Huh, huh, that was cool.

I can't believe that John Belushi has been dead almost 20 years - I was devastated when he died.

And may I ask - could that Ann Curry chick (the announcer) have sounded anymore like she had a sequoia tree up her butt??

I thought Animal House came out in '78, making it 23 years old? That's what http://www.imdb.com says for it anyway.

I don't know, Steve. NBC kept on calling it the 25th anniv. special!

I loved watching the part before the movie - I never knew it was filmed in actual fraternity houses and at the Univ of Oregon! (The Omega house was filmed in the actual Sigma Nu House.)

I watched it too. Pretty interesting that it was filmed in actual greek houses. I also noticed that for the most part, they refrained from using "frat" and said fraternity instead.
