Did anyone ask for Grease to be a franchise?

I know! Although to be fair there is a Grease 2...which was something.

Hey, that movie had a lot to offer, like a girl for all seasons, cool riders and an answer to that age-old question: where does the pollen go?

Also the bowling dance. An incredible amount of repressed sexual energy condensed into a cheesy song about bowling. It's so great

I can't ever see Maxwell Caulfield as any character other than Rex Manning from Empire Records.

And even if others disagree, remember this great and true quote: “everybody out there thinks that you’re a star.”

I like Grease 2 way more than the first Grease. This prequel looks like cash in crap no one is looking forward to.

They planned to make a Grease tv show back in like the 80s.

Also joke's on you, I did want a Grease franchise. They could really easily do it as an anthology series - each season is about a different year with a different lead romance, with every romance consisting of people who are too different but learn to make it work. This would also cover changing attitudes towards "gangs" and would address the school becoming less white over time in addition to the goofy musical numbers.
