So You Think You Can Dance

Yesterday I went to visit [livejournal.com profile] surrealestate and Rapidly Expanding J, and found bonus M and [livejournal.com profile] theloriest also visiting, which was nifty! They introduced me to SYTYCD, which I had thought was a knockoff of Dancing With The Stars but turns out to be an excellent show about professional dancers (and when I came home I found it on Ovation, thus assuaging my conscience that I wouldn't be giving ratings to Fox). They also showed me half the Tonys, which were hugely entertaining ("I Believe" from The Book of Mormon made me cry, and I want to check out Sister Act), and I found that L and I share a delight in musicals! Yay!

So that was a fun afternoon, even if Rapidly Expanding J was kind of iffy about me. *laugh*

wait wait what there is a sister act stage show??? zomg.

(also, does your household have a neilson box? because if you do not, then your viewings don't count toward ratings, although you do see the commercials on the channels you watch, obvs)

There is indeed a Sister Act stage show!

And I don't think we do, but still. It's the principle iof the thing.

it is. if anyone is going to get the chance to tell you to change your household cleaner, it should be someone with (more) ethics (than fox).

Ahem. Are you forgetting who already had a copy of the Tonys ready to watch? Or was this to mean you already knew it was something you and I shared? :)

*nod* I already knew you love musicals, but I didn't know that about her before.

Oh, I love So You Think You Can Dance. It's one of the only reality/competition shows I've ever seen that has a shred of artistic integrity, near as I can tell. (I credit [livejournal.com profile] markbernstein for getting [livejournal.com profile] kitanzi and me hooked on it.)

Season 8 just wrapped, and their sadly not available on DVD, but the Ovation reruns of Season 6 are fun. (Season 6 was the first one we saw, so we're having fun seeing bits we missed and looking forward to reliving that whole experience.)
