-
- The 12/22 episode of Dateline had the first prison interview with Amy Fisher.
- I missed that show. If anyone had seen that show, please post a summary of
- what
- Amy Fisher had to say.
-
- The 12/29 Amy Fisher was nothing more than a carrot to lure in viewers. You
- had to sit through about 50 minutes of dribble before they got to the "good
- stuff" and then you were disappointed by the meagre offering. The segment was
- titled, "The Selling of Amy." It explained how the networks, the media, the
- people in her life with videotapes or other stories to tell, etc ... cashed
- in
- on the Amy Fisher story. No new comments from Amy Fisher.
-
- * It mentioned that the Amy Fisher saga had "two sides of a story" (e.g.,
- Amy's
- version vs Joey B's version), and this was the reason it worked as a story
- in the media.
- * They briefly excerpted part of the interview with Amy Fisher from the 12/22
- show. She seemed shy. The interviewer asked Amy if she felt that she was an
- object to be exploited. She said that she wanted to switch the focus, so
- that some of it was done tastefully and in a positive way.
- * They also showed clips from the NBC version and the ABC version. They
- showed
- the part where Amy (Noelle Parker) arrived at Mary Jo's house with her blue
- baseball cap on. That scene still stands out as being quite realistic.

- ]
- ] There wil be TWO tv movies that day about Fisher, if I'm not mistaken.
-
- * You're right about that. They showed a clip of the ABC version on Dateline,
- and it seemed to have more sexual content than the NBC version. They showed
- Joey putting his hand on her thigh while she was driving.
-
- * The ABC version is based on a New York columnist's notes.
- * The NBC version is Amy's version.
- * The CBS version is based on the Buttafuoco's version.
-
- * I have to commend NBC for programming Lionheart with Claude van Damme
- against the other networks' Amy Fisher movies. This move will probably
- give NBC a higher audience for the Amy Fisher story.
