No one expected much of anything out of Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies. Besides that transparently corporate marketing-ass name, musical sequels and prequels are rarely good (did you know there are sequels to the original Annie musical? No? Exactly.) So those who did tune in were shocked to discover that RotPL was not just good, it was really damn good. 

The show takes place four years before the events of Grease, focusing on four young women who team up to form the eponymous gang. What follows are 10 entertaining, funny, and energetic episodes with songs that - while not on the same iconic level as the film - were still fun and catchy in their own right. 

And then... it was removed from the service for a tax write-off!

And because there was never a DVD release for Rise of the Pink Ladies, that means there are no legal avenues to watch the show, which doesn't exactly bode well for the preservation side of things...
