Welcome to Something for Nothing

Yesterday my wife told me that there was nothing to watch on TV, because all the TV shows that we liked were ending their seasons. I retorted that So You Think You Can Dance and America’s Got Talent would be starting up soon. Today I went online to check when season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance would start. Unfortunately, I was a little off on my dates. They are planning the Two Hour Season Premiere, Thursday May 22 8/7c. Farther away than I thought it would be. Oh well, we’ll find something to do in the mean time.

Looks like America’s Got Talent is even farther away “NBC has announced America’s Got Talent’s third season will premiere with a two-hour broadcast on Tuesday, June 24 at 9PM ET/PT.”

A few other summer season premiers:
Last Comic Standing’s sixth season will premiere Thursday, May 22 at 9:30PM ET/PT
Nashville Star’s sixth season will debut Monday, June 9 at 9:30PM ET/PT - I’m so glad that this is on NBC now and off of cable. I really love this show and with NBC resources it should be that much better.
Celebrity Circus will premiere Wednesday, June 11 at 9PM ET/PT - I don’t know much details about this, but the title sounds pretty interesting.
The Baby Borrowers will debut Wednesday, June 25 at 8PM ET/PT - Tell you what, I won’t let you borrow my babies, you can just have them.

I also read that The Amazing Race 13 is filming. I can’t wait!

This Thursday, the dancers challenge is to perform in a musical. Will the fact that two of the dancers have Broadway performances on their resume give them that leg-up in the performance or will the other dancers be the rising star in this episode?

On the always exciting Live TV, Cristian de la Fuente got injured and could barely finish his routine.

The Chilean actor gripped his arm in obvious pain towards the end of his hip-shaking samba. He did his best to complete the dance, but was unable to hold on to his partner, Cheryl Burke, as she crumpled to the floor in the routine’s

De La Fuente insisted he was ready to hear the judges’ comments immediately after the couple finished, but the producers cut to a commercial so an EMT could look at his arm. After the break, he held an ice pack to his arm as he heard the judges’ scores.The actor ended the evening in last place at 46, with a 25 for his first number, the Viennese waltz, and 21 for the samba.

Here’s the entire breakdown of the Judges’ Scores - April 28, 2008.

# Jason Taylor - 55 out of a possible 60
# Kristi Yamaguchi - 54
# Marissa Janet Winokur - 52
# Mario - 51
# Shannon Elizabeth - 51
# Cristian De La Fuente - 46

No, I’m not talking about Carrie Ann or Bruno. This is a judge from the Dancing with the Stars Australia. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

DANCING with the Stars judge Todd McKenney has been charged with drug possession after being found unconscious in a Sydney park about 3pm on Friday.
…
He reportedly claims his drink was spiked at a party the night before, and blamed “the tall poppy syndrome”.

“They obviously wanted to put the boot into me. I don’t know what I have done to deserve this treatment,” he reportedly said. “I had a vodka and tonic and I started to feel progressively sick. I have no idea where I ended up.”

Can you imagine Bruno in a park unconscious? Ok, that really wasn’t much of a stretch.

Today I was reading through twitter and saw a tweet from Guy Kawasaki (great marketing and entrepreneurship blog) telling people about the new Alltop TV. I’d read quite a bit about Alltop and used it a few times and so I was interested in having this blog on Alltop. Here’s a brief summary of what Alltop is:

We import the stories of the top news websites and blogs for any given topic and display the headlines of the five most recent stories. When you place the cursor over a headline, we display part of the story so that you can decide if you’d like to read it. To read the story, click on its title. To go to the home page of the site, click on its domain name.

So, basically the Alltop TV is an aggregation of a bunch of TV news sites and blogs.

After quickly reading the Alltop FAQ, I found that twitter seemed to be the best way to get listed. So, I sent my own tweet to Guy asking to be listed on http://tv.alltop.com/

A few minutes later I got the reply from Guy saying that I was listed. Man, I love the power of twitter. It connect people in such amazing ways.

Now to see how well this blog does on Alltop. I think I just became an Alltop fan.

This week’s brand new episode of Step It Up & Dance on Bravo video preview:

SPOILER ALERT:This Thursday, Janelle walks away with a win and the dancers find out that their next challenge is Stomp. See who really has rhythm and who puts on a good front!

I love stomp. Of course, I live in Las Vegas, so I’m kind of required to love it.

More great Dancing with the Stars Music for all to enjoy!! Hopefully this is helpful to those looking for various songs from week 6 of Dancing with the Stars.

You may remember that I mentioned the Step It Up and Dance premier last week on Bravo. Well, they’re at it again this week.

Tonight, the contestants battle each other. No winning teams, no losing teams. Guest judges Choreographer Dave Scott (you may remember him from So You Think You Can Dance) and his star in the movie Step Up 2, Rob Hoffman determine which of the contestants win the battle this time.

Man, I can’t tell you how much I love dance reality TV shows. Actually just dancing in general.
