'Grease: Live' and sex: Why the 'chicks' scream
From its raunchy first performance in 1971 to Fox's family-friendly "Grease: Live," here's a look at the stage and screen history of "Grease."

What in the world just happened? “Downton Abbey,” a dramedy of manners, the most proper show on television, just took a blood-soaked turn into “Game of Thrones” territory. Yes, Robert had been ill and there had been much speculation that it was something more serious than indigestion. But I don’t think anyone anticipated that terrifying and gruesome dinner table explosion near the end of this episode.
