Summer 2008 Reality TV Season Premiers

Written by: John

Yesterday my wife told me that there was nothing to watch on TV, because all the TV shows that we liked were ending their seasons. I retorted that So You Think You Can Dance and America’s Got Talent would be starting up soon. Today I went online to check when season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance would start. Unfortunately, I was a little off on my dates. They are planning the Two Hour Season Premiere, Thursday May 22 8/7c. Farther away than I thought it would be. Oh well, we’ll find something to do in the mean time.

Looks like America’s Got Talent is even farther away “NBC has announced America’s Got Talent’s third season will premiere with a two-hour broadcast on Tuesday, June 24 at 9PM ET/PT.”

A few other summer season premiers:
Last Comic Standing’s sixth season will premiere Thursday, May 22 at 9:30PM ET/PT
Nashville Star’s sixth season will debut Monday, June 9 at 9:30PM ET/PT – I’m so glad that this is on NBC now and off of cable. I really love this show and with NBC resources it should be that much better.
Celebrity Circus will premiere Wednesday, June 11 at 9PM ET/PT – I don’t know much details about this, but the title sounds pretty interesting.
The Baby Borrowers will debut Wednesday, June 25 at 8PM ET/PT – Tell you what, I won’t let you borrow my babies, you can just have them.

I also read that The Amazing Race 13 is filming. I can’t wait!

Step It Up and Dance Video Preview

Written by: John

This Thursday, the dancers challenge is to perform in a musical. Will the fact that two of the dancers have Broadway performances on their resume give them that leg-up in the performance or will the other dancers be the rising star in this episode?

Something for Nothing Listed on Alltop TV

Written by: John

Today I was reading through twitter and saw a tweet from Guy Kawasaki (great marketing and entrepreneurship blog) telling people about the new Alltop TV. I’d read quite a bit about Alltop and used it a few times and so I was interested in having this blog on Alltop. Here’s a brief summary of what Alltop is:

We import the stories of the top news websites and blogs for any given topic and display the headlines of the five most recent stories. When you place the cursor over a headline, we display part of the story so that you can decide if you’d like to read it. To read the story, click on its title. To go to the home page of the site, click on its domain name.

So, basically the Alltop TV is an aggregation of a bunch of TV news sites and blogs.

After quickly reading the Alltop FAQ, I found that twitter seemed to be the best way to get listed. So, I sent my own tweet to Guy asking to be listed on http://tv.alltop.com/

A few minutes later I got the reply from Guy saying that I was listed. Man, I love the power of twitter. It connect people in such amazing ways.

Now to see how well this blog does on Alltop. I think I just became an Alltop fan.

Step It Up and Dance Tonight on Bravo

Written by: John

You may remember that I mentioned the Step It Up and Dance premier last week on Bravo. Well, they’re at it again this week.

Tonight, the contestants battle each other. No winning teams, no losing teams. Guest judges Choreographer Dave Scott (you may remember him from So You Think You Can Dance) and his star in the movie Step Up 2, Rob Hoffman determine which of the contestants win the battle this time.

Man, I can’t tell you how much I love dance reality TV shows. Actually just dancing in general.

Premier of Workout 3 on Bravo

Written by: John

Did anyone catch the premier of Workout 3 on Bravo. I saw about it on the Today show and it looked pretty interesting. I usually think that workout people are pretty kooky. However, they made one really good point about the show. There is something really sexy about people working out. Not sure what it is. Here’s a 10 minute preview of Workout 3 on Bravo.

I’d love to hear people’s thoughts if you caught the show.

You know I love dancing reality TV shows. I’m just sad that it’s on Bravo. Is Hulu streaming video for bravo?
