SYTYCD

I love this show. As a former dancer - back during what I call my "glory years" - this shows reminds me just why I loved, and still love, dancing. Season after season, I see performances that leave a lasting impression; whether it's for their humor, choreography, emotion, etc.

So, when it was announced that SYTYCD would be having a bonus season during the fall season, on top of its regular summer season, you can imagine how excited I was. As Wrigley and Chris Brown would say, "double the pleasure, double the fun."

Sadly, I am coming to realize that SYTYCD should've been left as a summer show. Having it compete with some of my regular fall shows has had me make some tough decisions. More importantly, it is having to take the backseat to baseball, which is forcing broadcast scheduling conflicts and the show's format to change. It's no longer the show I've come to love. Hell, I didn't even know who the Top 20 were until this week. If I don't know who they are, how am I supposed to care about them? How, I ask?!

I'll continue watching and I continue looking forward to more memorable routines, but I hope it goes back to just being a summer show after this season. Back to where it can have the attention it deserves. Back to where I can look forward to Wednesdays and Thursdays.
