Superstars of Dance on NBC... what a waste of my time! It's like I watched it to prove it was a waste of my time. It takes itself way to seriously. I don't see how anyone could effectively compare the River dance and a traditional Indian dance right next to each other without significant biases to bestow the title "best dancer(s) in the world." Maybe I'm projecting journalistic integrity to places it doesn't belong, but I'd be damn if an old woman from Argentina told me my hip-hop was unimpressive.
Honestly, I kept flipping back to the show to make sure I didn't miss the American group dance, which was finally represented after 2 nights (3 total hours) of this crap by the Groovaloos. To be honest, I was kinda disappointed. It was no Super Cr3w by anymeans. I was already cashed out on the show, so it's not entirely against the crew. This show has just taught me that my dance-art appreciation is pretty much capped with So You Think You Can Dance, which is only possible with the combination of Mary's craziness an Mia Micheals' knack for word choice. I am so ready to have another season of America's Best Dance Crew. SO ready!

Tonight, Scrubs will premiere it's new season on ABC. Some of you may remember that NBC had canceled it's run of the hit comedy, but ABC picked it up pretty quick. I'm not sure of the entire cast made the move to ABC but at least Zack Braff is in the commercials. Courtney Cox will join the cast -- perhaps as a main character. But I'll be honest, I don't really care. Do you?
Radhika has immunity so she has the luxury of knowing she's not going home. New judge Toby Young, food critic and best-selling author joins the judges table.
In my vacation time I stumbled on a post on LOGO online about my love-to-hate NBC series, Heroes! The article is an interview with writer and producer, Bryan Fuller, about the show's efforts to not suck. Apparently, Matt's (the cop/telepath) ex-(?)wife will come back into the picture and more people will die. Without Nikki and Monica... I could care less who dies now. The interview also reveals that Jon Glover (who played in Smallville as Lex Luthor's father) is set to play Sylar's father in the upcoming season. Fuller basically admits that the Villains volume was over-complicated and basically became too sci-fi for its own good. Too read more, click the link to the post on LOGO.
Tonight (1/4/09) is the first episode of Rock of Love Bus on VH1.
You know the person I'm going to be watching is Natasha (AKA The Black Girl). As usual we will be counting down until the moment she gets left on the side of the road. I hope she gives those Big Boob Blond Barbies a run for their money. Bret show the black girls some love!!
