* AscendedFangirl: Laverne Cox, who plays Frank in the remake, was a big Rocky Horror fan when she was in college, but surprisingly, she has never seen the film in a theater (however, she planned to before production started). She even cried when Tim Curry joined the cast of the remake!
** Creator/VictoriaJustice, who plays Janet, has been a fan of the movie since she saw it at a slumber party in middle school, and her first shadowcast screening was at age 15. She has seen the movie six times.

* VisualPun: When a preview of the new "Dammit, Janet" sequence (which is mostly set in a cemetery) was put on the Internet, fans couldn't resist to pointing out in comments sections that Brad and Janet are literally ''dancing on graves''.

* LighterAndSofter[=/=]{{Bowdlerization}}: Since this was a prime-time TV-14-rated production, a lot of things are gentled down (Eddie's death, and the presentation of his corpse; the contents of the ashtrays in the Zen Room; the Medusa device freezing its victims in place instead of turning them into nude statues). The costumes are somewhat less revealing, and the set design a bit less... phallic. Amusingly, the [[SmokingHotSex post-coital cigarette]] shared between Brad and Frank is removed completely (probably to avoid accusations of promoting tobacco or suchlike).

''The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Lets Do The Time Warp Again'' is a 2016 television version of ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' which first aired October 20 on Fox.
