Grease: Live was a rip-roaring good time, and a heck of a way to spend your Sunday night.

But like most people watching, we had questions about the show.

30. If this was on cable, we'd find out in the next act that Sandy left the dance because she has a dark past and is secretly cooking meth at her house. Would anyone else watch that?

31. So. Much. Static. Who will pay for this "Hopelessly Devoted" disrespect?

32. Is Sandy sad because her pool is empty?
