"Glee" - Defying Gravity
on Nov 16, 2009 in entertainment wheels glee Scripted TV Glee Defying Gravity Although I'm a baseball fan, it was good to have "Glee" back in its normal time slot. This wasn't my favorite episode, but it had its moments.  I'd heard a lot about the "Defying Gravity" performance, so I was really excited to finally see it.   I...

30 Rock - "The Problem Solvers"
on Nov 16, 2009 in entertainment 30 Rock tracy morgan Jane Krakowski alec baldwin Scripted TV Liz Lemon the problem solvers I always love the relationship moments between Jack (Alec Baldwin) and Liz (Tina Fey), but it's even better when they're fighting.  You know that Liz will never win. My favorite clip is where Jenna (Jane Krakowski) and Tracy (Tracy Morgan) become "T...

"Glee" - Proud Mary (Rolling on the River)
on Nov 16, 2009 in entertainment wheels glee Scripted TV Glee proud mary (rolling on the river) This was one of my least favorite performances.  I love the song, but I just thought the whole wheelchair routine was a little ridiculous. I appreciate that the show tries to tackle a lot of issues and stereotypes, but sometimes it leans too far int...

"The Big Bang Theory" - The Guitarist Amplification
on Nov 16, 2009 in entertainment The Big Bang Theory Scripted TV the guitarist amplification I couldn't go another week without posting a couple of clips of my geeky guilty pleasure. I love these clips because they show the funniest parts of everyone in the cast (including Howard's mother). I still don't fully understand my fascination with...

Mad Men - "Shut the Door. Have a Seat"
on Nov 15, 2009 in Mad Men entertainment Scripted TV season 3 finale I've been so busy lately, I haven't had a lot of time to post about my favorite shows.  However, I couldn't delete the wonderful "Mad Men" third-season finale without grabbing a couple of clips for the road. This was such a brilliant episode.  It h...

Nathan & Mollee - Salsa
on Nov 11, 2009 in So You Think You Can Dance entertainment reality tv Reality TV top 16 nathan & mollee - salsa I think this couple is adorable, but this routine really showed how young they are.  It wasn't hot or sexy.  It was uncomfortable. Nathan had this weird, bouncing crouch that was very off-putting.  This should have been a great number for him, sin...

Victor & Channing - Contemporary
on Nov 11, 2009 in So You Think You Can Dance entertainment reality tv Reality TV top 16 victor & channing - contemporary First off, I think it's radically unfair that contemporary dancer Victor has already had two contemporary routines.  Had to get that out.  No more pettiness, I promise. I had to watch this routine a couple of times before I could form an opinion. ...

Legacy & Kathryn - Broadway
on Nov 11, 2009 in So You Think You Can Dance entertainment reality tv Reality TV top16 legacy & kathryn - broadway Again, I was so nervous for Legacy, but I thought he did a great job. This was such a fun number and I love how the choreographers keep sneaking in the b-boy tricks.  I haven't enjoyed a Broadway routine this much in a long time.  I just adore this...

Russell & Noelle - Afro Jazz
on Nov 11, 2009 in So You Think You Can Dance entertainment reality tv Reality TV top 16 russell & noelle - afro jazz I thought this was such fun and unique routine.  Less Quick Step and more Afro Jazz! Russell was the star of this routine.  It just fit his personality and physicality to a T.  He brought so much enthusiasm and light to this number.  I can't say...

Ryan & Ellenore - Hip/Hop
on Nov 11, 2009 in So You Think You Can Dance entertainment reality tv Reality TV top 16 ryan & ellenore - hip/hop The second I saw Lil' C, I knew this was gonna be trouble.  I don't care for Lil' C's "choreography".   I had to put choreography in quotes, because I don't feel like his routines have a whole lotta flow.  It's more like a series of tricks and mo...
