So You Think You Can Dance: Mark & Comfort Hip Hop

I’ve never been much of a fan of the straight forward hip hop routines on So You Think You Can Dance, but this week’s performance from Mark and Comfort was incredible.

I was thrilled to see Mark not end up in the bottom two, but was stunned to find Twitch there. Even more, I was [...]

So You Think You Can Dance: Will & Katee plus Mark Solo

Will and Katee had the dance of the week with an amazing Pas de Deux performed to Idol singer David Archuleta’s version of “Imagine.”

I’m a big fan of Mark and this week he got burned by Kerrington as a partner (which surprised me since she was so fab with Twitch). Anyway, Mark had a great [...]

So You Think You Can Dance: Double Feature (almost)

So You Think You Can Dance was back to being good again this week. Two dances stood out this week, but I can only show you one right now.
Will & Jessica’s contemporary routine is powerful and beautiful and simply WOW!

I wanted to show Gev and Courtney’s jazz number to “Standing There” by The Creatures. [...]

Ninja Warrior Taints American Gladiators

I’ve noticed the obsession with Ninja Warrior has really tainted my enjoyment of American Gladiators. Warrior is much more intense than Gladiators and while I still watch and am entertained by Gladiators, Ninja Warrior is a much better competition.
Let’s compare for a moment. American Gladiators involves challenges like these:

Meanwhile, Ninja Warrior has these sorts [...]

So You Think You Can Dance: Kherington & Twitch Do Contemporary

On the whole, this week’s So You Think You Can Dance was an unexpected clunker. I wasn’t thrilled by most of the performances. However, there was one stunning dance worth posting. Mia Michaels choreographed Kherington and Twitch in a contemporary number featuring “Dreaming with a Broken Heart” by John Mayer. Check out [...]

When I Knew

Last night we watched the HBO documentary When I Knew, which features an array of people telling the stories of the first time they realized they were gay. Some of the stories are amusing, like the man who was obsessed with the man on the Doan’s Pills box. Some are what you might call “regular” [...]

So You Think You Can Dance: Mark & Chelsea Hip Hop

I haven’t been a fan the hip hop routines on So You Think You Can Dance. It’s usually the choreography rather than the performance that fails for me. This week it all changed. Mark & Chelsea got a hip hop routine (which was later clarified as a lyrical hip hop routine) and it was amazing. [...]

So You Think You Can Dance

Yes, we’ve started watching another dance show. I’m not a fan of the So You Think You Can Dance judges, except for the head judge who doesn’t get on my nerves. We tend to record and fast forward though the program just watching the dances, rehearsal footage and the elimination stuff. We can do the [...]

Sci-Fi Channel is Mean

After the stunning revelations in Friday night’s mid-season finale of Battlestar Galactica we now have to wait until early 2009 to see how the series ends? That’s just plain mean.

Reality Check

A couple of reality shows we’ve been watching wrapped up in the past couple weeks and they are worth commenting on.
Step it Up & Dance: I loved this show from the beginning. This show was so much better the Dance Wars. The cross section of dancers they brought in were great and it peeled down [...]
