aha! that's probably why Tivo couldn't find it, cause Randy had his name all over it :)
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, I finally saw the "History of" and it was awesome, as advertised. It was funny, though, they broadcast the ad for the finale right at the beginning of the episode, so I was all, well, lose the suspense, why dontcha? But I knew already, so oh well.
It sucks that they had to have their final routine all worked up but couldn't get to perform it, though, huh?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't remember thinking that the costumes as such were all that hot, except for the rip-away pants the girls had on -- they were unexpected.
I didn't mean hot like sexy, but I was really impressed with how the evoked the different era with different hats and taking of their jackets or whatever -- it was subtle, but definitely worked, IMO.

It's a genre of music that was popular in the late 90's. Think Guy, Color Me Badd, BellBivDevoe, Keith Sweat, Johnny Gill, Tevin Campbell, Bobby Brown, etc.

Y'know, I remember a song that mentioned the New Jack Swing, but I didn't realize it was actually a type of music...I just though it was that song!! And looking at the wikipedia entry, those are all songs I love. Hee.

Wasn't there a movie? New Jack City? I seem to remember the immortal line, "Sit your five dollar ass down before I make change."

Wasn't there a movie? New Jack City?
yes, there was, and the genre came from the movie. According to Wikipedia
The term "new jack swing" was coined by journalist and New Jack City co-writer Barry Michael Cooper to describe the sound produced by R&B/Hip hop artist and producer Teddy Riley. Riley is an American R&B and hip hop singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. He led the band Guy in the 1980s and Blackstreet in the 1990s. Riley stated that "I define the term [New Jack Swing] as a new kid on the block who's swingin' it," [5].
