[quote=Anonymous][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]
Interesting. I read the book and watch the show and have missed any countr music reference (although funny aside if her being a country music 
 swayed Moriarty to sell the rights to Kidman). I think the soundtrack is really good. And I loved them singing Fleetwood Mac on the bus. [b]My kid could absolutely sing along. [/b][/quote]

Was anyone else disturbed by Jane and Ziggy singing along to Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" in the last episode? It's about taking psychedelic drugs and the music itself is utterly creepy. It was beyond bizarre that a 6 year-old knew the lyrics word-for-word. WTF.[/quote]

no offense but white rabbit means zero to a 6 yr old. hell I didn't even figure out wha the hell it meant till I my late 30's sometime - maybe that's because I was sheltered.  but still, a 6 yr old would not know what that reference is all about.[/quote]
And I totally see a 20 yr old single, troubled mom singing it with him just because that's what's playing on her iPod and not thinking, like we might, that the lyrics to this song are inappropriate. In fact, I'm often amazed when I read the weird or twisted meaning assigned to song lyrics (most times not by the writer) [/quote]
