Another month, another sickness induced hiatus and not one but two surgeries later, GMMR and Ducky are back with a new TV Talk Podcast!
Your favorite carcasters are back to talk about all of the TV we’ve soaked in from our hospital and sick beds.
We kick off the podcast with the Season 6 finale of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Then we move on to the fall finales of GLEE and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.
We sink our teeth into some TRUE BLOOD casting news then tackle the return of faves CHUCK and LOST.
MODERN FAMILY and THE OFFICE were Christmas fantastic, as were 30 ROCK and the increasingly brilliant PARKS & RECREATION.
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and THE BIG BANG THEORY are always worth a good conversation as is the debate over THE GOOD WIFE.
What else is on tap? How about MERCY, IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, THE SING-OFF, SAY YES TO THE DRESS, HAPPILY EVER FASTER and LAUNCH MY LINE.
Did the right people win TOP CHEF and PROJECT RUNWAY? Who’s real pretty to look at and what’s our new TV Talk Podcast tagline?
Thanks for being so patient with our crazy illnesses and busy schedules. We wish we could podcast more regularly than we do and we think it’s amazing so many folks care about what we have to say regarding all things TV! You guys are the best.
Last night’s episode of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE has already been marred by injuries, a dated new logo outline, a shitty new stage and contestant shake-ups galore (Billy’s out, Brandon’s in, someone’s dancing with a choreographer because Noelle’s injured) so there’s a lot to overcome on their first night out the gate for Season 6.
I really can’t tell you how sad I am to see Billy Bell leave the show but on the other hand, I could care less about possibly losing Noelle. She’s out this week due to a knee injury and if she doesn’t recoup in time she’ll be replaced by one of the girls cut during Vegas. I don’t really care yet, so swap her if need be.
Before talking about the performances, I really have to throw my two cents in about this new stage. It’s too big for the intimacy needed to be showcased by the performances and the limited views and camera angles it offers if a logistical clusterfuck. Who built a stage without first mapping out how they would shoot the actual show? And what’s with that random posse of 40 kids that get to stand by the right side of the stage? It made sense before where the kids stood in front of the physical seating but this is just ridiculous. Did they let Tyce design the new stage and layout? I mean come on… there are people who do that for a living, hire them!
Anywhoozle…
First up are Channing and Phillip who worked with returning choreographer Jason Gilkison on a Jive. The show set me up to hate Phillip before he even danced a single Jive step. I don’t do spoken word poetry… to be more blunt, I fucking HATE it. Dance-wise, I thought Phillips outfit and light feet made this one of the fruitiest male performances the show has ever had. Who knew? Channing was a surprise. Like Shankman said, she was the highlight of the piece.
My possible SYTYCD Season 6 Boyfriend Jakob is sadly teamed up with my least favorite female, Ashleigh. They were given a sultry Broadway number choreographed by Tyce Diorio. Tyce gave Jakob everything to do and left Ashleigh as a mannequin. He stole the flippin’ show and I could watch this kid all day long. She was a little slow, a little sloppy and out of place if I’m being honest. Who the frak put Jakob in that sweater? He’s melting on that stage and a wool sweater doesn’t help. Note to the wardrobe department, less is more on that boy!
More SYTYCD Season 6 Top 20 after the jump… (more…)
And the Winner of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Season 5 is…
We just finished the finale and cannot believe that the season is over. For our final SYTYCD podcast of the season we examine the results, the Judges Choice Encore performances, and the big surprise of the night!
Find out which Judge we wished was shanked; which Judge needed a new top; which podcast host was almost murdered tonight and which podcast host performed a Season 6 audition piece!
There’s a lot of laughter, a few screams, some tears and even a moment of terror jam packed into this finale podcast so listen up and join in on the discussion.
Thanks for an amazing season and we’ll be talking SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE once again this fall.
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE celebrated its 100th episode by reuniting a ton of alums, working out some killer encore performances, having Katie Holmes sing and dance a spell and then reality kicked in sending two more dancers home.
In the latest SYTYCD TV Talk Podcast, Kath and Dan are joined by their weekly viewing partners in crime Jess, Whit and Heather! We’ll warn everyone now, we’re all a little punchy after the sad sad elimination and our special SYTYCD cake had us all on a little sugar high. Yes, we had a 100th episode SYTYCD cake… jealous much?
Wondering who went home last night? Wondering if I screamed bloody murder? Love it or hate it, SYTYCD continues and so does the TV Talk Podcast!
The Top 8 performed on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and once again Kath and Dan are back to talk everything good, bad and droopy eyed.
We ponder whether or not guest judge Ellen DeGeneres was a necessary addition to the show and more importantly if a backstory can manipulate the audience to the point that it corrupts the purpose of the show.
I’m hanging at the beach so I still haven’t seen all of last week’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE but come hell or cargo shorts, there was no way I was missing my one time TV Boyfriend Travis Wall’s choreography debut!
I’m not gonna lie, it brought a little gay tear to my eye – the routine is that beautiful! Also, how amazing is it to see my baby all grows up? Travis Wall, this routine was cramazing!
Hey gang, I’m sorry that most of this season’s recaps have been in either podcast format or on AfterElton but I appreciate your continued interest in my coverage of the show! You guys rock!
Last night’s actual finale was incredible! The energy was high, the dancers were on point and overall the majority of the dances they showcased were my faves. I have to take Mia to task for her saying that his season had the best choreography of any other… oh honey that’s so not the case. Aside from the initial season, this was the worst sampling of choreography I’ve seen in a long time. Sure the addition of Sonya and the Aussie were great but when NappyTabs are your staples week after week, I have to question the overall quality. Even Mia failed miserably this season with her heinous finale routine so again, it wasn’t the best the show’s ever seen.
My favorite part of the night was hands down, the return of my faves… The Best of SYTYCD! I loved catching up with the kids from Seasons 1-3 and the group dance was banoodles to say the least. Travis and Neil in the same routine almost made both of my heads burst from the crazy greatness. Hok, Dom and Ryan were working it as usual. Jailbait Ivan killed out there, the kid is supa-fresh. Allison’s leg extensions are out of this world and I wondered if that high kick he does was her favored method of birth. Can you believe that bitch has a kid? What?!! How sexy ass were Anya and Dmitry all spinning around the stage? Hotness! Hell even Benji was fantastic! The question still remains…
WHERE THE HELL IS SABRA JOHNSON? I know she’s alive because GMMR has pictures of her from the Fox Upfronts but where the hell is that little pixie of a girl? The radio silence on Sabra has me wondering if she’s the biggest disappointment of all the winners so far. I mean come on girl, what are you up to?
Mary and Dmitry were awesome and it was great to see Nigel final gets ta steppin’ but didn’t he creep you out a little? He was like some pedophile leading the children to the underbelly of hell.
I guess I’m happy with Joshua Allen winning but I really was pulling for Katee. Yes you read that right, I was hoping Katee Shean would win. She was my least favorite heading into the competition but in the end, the girl could kick everyone’s ass. She was flawless but her lack of personality is what done did her wrong in the end. I loved that she scored a fat $50k though! That’s pretty sweet.
Ah, it’s over… I pray that next season will be spectacular and everything I want my SYTYCD to be because this season left me a little “meh”
*Don’t forget to download all of your favorite songs from SYTYCD Season 4 over at my Episode Music Guide!
Ahhh, this is why I loved the previous seasons of So You Think You Can Dance more than the current one. These kids make me swoon… Having both of my Season 2 and 3 boyfriends on stage at the same time was a little awkward but totes hot! Travis Wall and Neil Haskell, for you I will… do anything you want! Good times.
So You Think You Can Dance winds down this week and at last night’s taping of the Finale performance episode, it looks like things went a little different than they normally do. From what I can cull together online, they did multiple tapings and each one had different segments that would fit into both the Wed and Thur episodes.
Everything I’ve been able to get my dirty little spoiler hungry hands on is listed after the jump… (more…)
I’m almost afraid to mention this because last year when I picked a pre-season TV Boyfriend possibility he was given the boot the minute he walked onto the Vegas stage (Myles I still heart you) – but I might have to make my first proclaimation of a possibly new TV Boyfriend…
Watch COOPER ZAMORANO’s So You Think You Can Dance Audition Video
Within seconds I thought the exact same thing that Nigel did… he’s got bits of Travis Wall all over him (wait, that sounds dirty) – and I like that! The cute thing is that as he was dancing my real life partner Jon looked at me and said “He’s this years Benji… I mean Travis… I tried to do my research.” It was adorable because Jon almost hates SYTYCD so for him to know anything about it is quite an accomplishment.
As the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE audition process ended in Milwaukee last night, the Judges and audience were given one hell of a surprise as Danielle Chorizo took the stage. Performing to The Weather Girls “It’s Raining Men” Danielle stomped her way through some crazy ass moves and a killer routine. I’d just like to say that within a second or two I could tell it was actually My BF Travis Wall! Hilarious! He’s a total hot tranny mess. Check it!
I know I’m really late on getting some information on the return of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE up on the blog so here is my first attempt. I missed the premiere last Thursday because I was flying to Colorado and thankfully last night was the rebroadcast on Fox. I only saw the last hour (hey My BF Travis Wall!) and hands down this is the most incredible moment of the portion I saw.
Watch Robert Muraine’s So You Think You Can Dance Audition:
We said we’d be back with another TV Talk Podcast in a week but it took almost a week and a half, I think you survived just fine. GMMR was at the Upfront presentations so there’s plenty to talk about including her celebrity sightings, stalkings, and dancing partners. We’ll even talk about Joss Whedon’s DOLLHOUSE and J.J. Abrams FRINGE starring GMMR’s mega crush Josh Jackson. So You Think You Can Dance might get a couple minutes or five along with her time with The Office and Tina Fey!
Back to your regularly scheduled podcast, we head right into GOSSIP GIRL, AMERICAN IDOL, THE OFFICE, GREY’S, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and more. Plus, it’s the return of TWO IDIOTS TALK LOST (*we talk about the finale being this week but listener Michael pointed out that it’s not until May 29th – phew!) where we rehash the first hour of the three hour Season 4 finale, once again proving that even idiots can enjoy Lost. And as a bonus feature, we have a special guest to help us talk about the Season 3 finale of The CW’s SUPERNATURAL.
Sit back and relax because this Podcast almost hits 90 minutes. You read that right, 90 minutes of babbling, giggling, bitching, and TV Talk!

Thank god this amazing performance from the So You Think You Can Dance kids was the opening number of the show because I didn’t start watching until almost 1:30am.
Amazing energy, amazing choreography, amazing Travis Wall… the only thing missing was Neil Haskell and some Cat Deeley! Hell, the show even had some Mary Murphy screaming, what wasn’t to love?
It’s a great week for all of us So You Think You Can Dancefans!!! First My 2007 Summer TV BF Neil Haskell scored himself a high profile gig in the Off-Broadway hit Altar Boyz and now it seems that a ton of the previous SYTYCD’ers will be strutting their stuff on tonight’s IDOL GIVES BACK special.
Here’s a picture courtesy of Celebrity Dirt that shows some Idol contestants wrapped around some Dance faves. I spy with my little eye: My 2006 Summer TV BF Travis Wall, Hammy McHamsalot Benji Schwimmer, Lacey Schwimmer, Hok, Danny Tidwell, my girl Donyelle, is that Cousin Heidi? Who else? Dmitry? Lauren’s stupid face with Jaymz… I think that’s Season 2’s Ashlee with her damn hat on the right. Is that Sabra with Archuleta all the way to the left?
I’ll try to find a higher-res photo. Until then though, how frakkin fun is that? Too bad I won’t be home to watch it tonight. Boooooo.
