BTW, I love that the judges get along. There is none of that faux fighting bullshit that occurs in other shows. I get the sense the judges enjoy each other's comments, laughing at the jokes, etc. They may disagree, but it isn't seen as a personal affront.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

I am watching Monsters-In-Law on A&E (a reality show about bad in-laws). It is a trip and a half. These in-laws are REALLY bad.
Anyone else catching this?

I thought it was going to be watch-from-the-hall bad, so avoided. The only reason I can think that families would agree to be on it is that each side believes it's the other half that will get a comeuppance.

the first one, the situation was resolved enough that they took a family vacation together! So I think they are going on the show because they don't have the wherewithal to resolve the issues themselves.

Did you notice during one of Nick's talking-to-the-camera moments, Shawn and Ben doing weird arm gestures in the far background? Then Shawn was trying to get Sara to join him but she just kept her arms down. Heh.

I love those three! And I realized that what I appreciate about Sara is that even when she's only saying good things, at least she's saying specific positive things. Not just "That was great!"

I'm so glad you guys got me hooked back on the Sing-Off. I would have forgotten about it. Now I just need to remember that I don't hate the judges and don't have to fastforward through them. I was all nodding along to Ben saying they should have lowered part of the harmonies by a third. And then I was all, wait, that was intelligent, music theory accurate critique. I don't know how to listen to that!

I know!!
I'm watching The Sing-off for the same reason I watch SYTYCD: because the contestants can actually perform at the highest level, otherwise they don't make it on the air.

I was just asked to do make-up for a photoshoot for the Yellow Jackets because of The Sing Off. I said no, because they are neither paying nor providing make-up.

Seriously? That's a load of crap! Although I guess if you were a makeup artist, you'd have a bunch of supplies? But then you wouldn't be working for free, either.
