I've been thinkin' about this for a while, and thought I'd throw it out here for you guys to contemplate.
Y'all pretty much know that I wish - even though it isn't a major attraction - that TDO would take Carousel of Progress and do a mind blowing over haul. Do some things that would shock us. I mean, put money into it for no reason other than just to make it better. I know it'd never happen, but that's my wish.
Anyway, the only problem I have with this, is that the voice of "Father" - Jean Shepard - died in 1999, and his voice is the most absolute perfect fit.
I have to explain for a second about something. I hate scary movies, they give me a weird feeling that just won't go away, I can't stop thinkin' about the movie for weeks. But if I put my iPhone on my Bose SoundDock, sit in my room, and play a track I edited to sound like you're actually sitting, watching the Carousel of Progress, as soon as I here, "Hello, and welcome to Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress..." those bad feelings instantly start to fade away. It also cheers me up when I'm not feelin' so hot. Now, his voice isn't the only thing that makes the show, of course, the music is also one of the many elements. Like the notes during, "... and meet the boys for a cold sarsaparilla," or after, "... it just can't get any better!"
Anyway, you're probably all goin', "What's up with Tom Selleck in the title?" Well, I'm gettin' to that.
For a long time, I thought it was Tom Selleck! If you watch Meet the Robinsons, you'd know what I'm talkin' about. Anyway, my point is, if they ever did my dream overhaul, I think Tom Selleck would be a great replacement for Jean Shepard, because I do believe that if there was an overhaul, they'd need to modify the show/dialouge - at least ever so slightly - to keep it fresh. I just think he could do the part justice, be almost just as good as Jean, and could possibly give it that same feel. He'd maybe even add something new and better. His voice is warm, but not as warm, so that could add somethin' cool to it. Plus, he's already dealt with Disney in the past, on a project that kind of reflected certain elements as well as the central theme of the Carousel of Progress.
Y'all listen to some Tom Selleck, and let me know what you think! :wave:
PS I'm not even that much of a fan of his. I've never even seen an episode of Magnum P.I.
