Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
Now that I have most of the seasons in a spreadsheet (what?), I can tell you they had 1 lindy hop in seasons 2 & 3.
I'm just starting to write up Season 5. Man it's going to be hard to limit myself to only a dozen or so dances for that one.
For previous seasons in the series that meara mentioned (I just had to put that clip of Peanut in when I came across it), see The Best of SYTYCD: Season 1, The Best of SYTYCD: Season 2, The Best of SYTYCD: Season 3, and The Best of SYTYCD: Season 4.
I was sad to see Mariah go. sigh ... seems my early favorites always leave early. I did enjoy watching Jasmine and Aaron - probably not a really good quickstep, but a good performance. (watch - I've just cursed them)
A comment earlier made me wonder: why do they never have east coast swing or lindy on here?? I mean, really--Russian dancing, and Bollywood, but none of that?
and African jazz ... no, I'm not forgiving them for that. ever.
I don't know if it was a good quickstep or not, but they sure looked like they were having fun, and I loved watching them do it.
Micah and BluPrint's routine was just weird.
FikShun is incredible -- I loved that Triplets number (I never saw the other one, so I have no basis for comparison), and Amy was just as good, but FikShun looked like Tigger. Every time he bounced off that stage, I said, "Boing!" And he's so expressive. That might have been my favorite piece.
Top Chef Masters started again last night! I don't know if I'm going to watch the sous chef show online, but maybe it's interesting?
I don't think I'm going to -- I kept forgetting to watch Last Chance Kitchen last season. And like Lee pointed out, although it's an interesting twist, it's a hell of a lot of people to keep track of.
Truth.
Oh, right, I got an e-mail about Top Chef Master's at work, I guess our products are featured or something. The DVR should be able to catch one of the reruns.
Also Supermarket Superstar, which I don't fully get the premise of, but I guess I'll give it a shot. I believe my second cousin once removed (or third cousin? Or something else. I can't keep that stuff straight. Some sort of relative) is hosting.
I really wish that were a redo of Supermarket Sweep.
Does Supermarket Sweep not exist anymore? I just kind of assumed it was on somewhere, sometime, just not where I happened to come across it...
I loved Supermarket Sweep sooo much. Always go for the big sides of beef. Those things made bank!
