[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Can you shed some light on what those are thus far in the series? I know the Australia vs. California and Kindgergarten vs. 1st grade are some of the more significant changes. What else is different. [/quote]

I'm not the pp but a big one is that there's no affair with the theater guy.  Though there is preoccupation with lack of sex between Madeline and Ed.  That's a theme in all of Moriarty's books.  Elvis and country music always make an appearance as well.  And that reminds me that the music in this show is off.  I like it, but it's not realistic that moms and kids would all know the words to a 40 year old song that's not really part of mainstream culture.[/quote]

This is something I notice too- my kids are not 6 yet and we have music on ALL THE TIME, but I doubt highly they will be able to sing Fleetwood Mac or Jefferson Airplane songs at 6 unless I played them all the time repetitively.[/quote]

Yeah, I could see it happening in one household (I knew plenty of Marvin Gaye by age 6) but it was weird to see a whole busload of people singing along.  Something mainstream and contemporary, okay, but the music choices are just...off.

I love Chloe's taste in music and find myself searching for songs she picks but they're very Old Soul songs for such a young girl.  Maybe that's the point but it's a distraction.  Abstraction, actually.[/quote]

Good point. Irl they'd be singing along to a Taylor Swift or Katy Perry song, lol.

Chloe is way too precocious in the tv series and it is distracting.[/quote]
