One of my favorite reality TV shows hasn’t been on for quite a while, but I just saw the news that Last Comic Standing will be back on NBC this Spring 2010. That’s great to hear since I really enjoy this show. They’ve had a few down moments, but for the most part it’s just the very best of the comedic acts and that’s great.

Here’s a snippet of the news from TV Guide:
New host Craig Robinson (The Office) will usher in Last Comic Standing’s seventh season on June 7 at 8/7c. The show will move to its regular time slot at 9/8c the following Monday, June 14.

I’m not sure how much the host really matters. So, they can keep switching for all I care. Just make sure they give us plenty of comedy and we’ll be all good. Since it’s on network television, it’s clean comedy too. It’s like the only place you can find clean comedy. Maybe that’s why I like it so much.

As I’ve done a number of times in the past I’m here to list the dates for the season premieres of your favorite shows on most of the major networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW, etc). I can’t guarantee that this list is perfect, but it should give you a pretty good idea of when your favorite TV shows will be premiere in Winter 2010.

So, which of the premiere’s are you most looking forward to see? My list includes, The Bachelor, Shark Tank, Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice (kind of), Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, The Amazing Race (my favorite), and Celebrity Apprentice. I’m also confused since I don’t see Dancing with the Stars on my list above. I know season 10 of DWTS is happening sometime too. Maybe they haven’t announced a date yet.

Please let me know of other shows that are missing and I’ll update them. Thanks!

Check out the following list of music from the NBC Sing Off finale:

Watch the full video of NBC Sing Off streamed for free online.

The three finalists on NBC’s new show The Sing-Off will be performing Monday night with Bobby McFerrin, Natasha Bedingfield, Ben Folds and Boyz II Men! I’ve really enjoyed this show and it will be interesting to see how they integrate the three finalists with these other singers.

Here’s a sneak preview of the Sing Off finale:

The winner of the Sing Off receives a recording contract. Not a bad deal at all.

It’s pretty cool that NBC and The Sing-Off is posting the music from the various Sing Off contestants on iTunes. They’re a little slow to get it up on iTunes, but it’s nice to be able to purchase the a capella version of the songs from your favorite groups on The Sing Off. Considering this is their first season doing it, I’m impressed that they were able to put this on iTunes. Most TV shows need a couple seasons before they’re organized enough to put the music on iTunes (see American Idol).

Without further ado, here’s the music from The Sing Off a capella groups:
The Sing-Off Contestants – Under Pressure (from “The Sing-Off”) – Single – Under Pressure (from “The Sing-Off”)
Nota – I’m Yours (from “The Sing-Off”) – Single – I’m Yours (from “The Sing-Off”)
The SoCals – Somebody to Love (from “The Sing-Off”) – Somebody to Love (from “The Sing-Off”)
Beelzebubs – Magical Mystery Tour (from “The Sing-Off”) – Single – Magical Mystery Tour (from “The Sing-Off”)
Beelzebubs – Magical Mystery Tour (from “The Sing-Off”) – Single – Magical Mystery Tour (from “The Sing-Off”)
Voices of Lee – Unwritten (from “The Sing-Off”) – Single – Unwritten (from “The Sing-Off”)
Face – Livin’ On a Prayer (from “The Sing-Off”) – Single – Livin’ On a Prayer (from “The Sing-Off”)
Noteworthy – Think (from “The Sing-Off”) – Single – Think (from “The Sing-Off”)
Solo – Whatcha Say (from “The Sing-Off”) – Single – Whatcha Say (from “The Sing-Off”)
Maxx Factor – Dancing Queen (from “The Sing-Off”) – Single – Dancing Queen (from “The Sing-Off”)

Also, in case you missed an episode of The Sing Off, you can download the first 2 episodes of it on iTunes as well:

Big Hits and Guilty Pleasures

Sing Off seems to be going strong on NBC.  Only challenge last night is that it went up against the finale of So You Think You Can Dance.  That’s not a good thing since there is likely quite a bit of cross over between viewers of those 2 shows. Time again to list the music from last night’s episode of The Sing Off. Up next I’ll do a post with links to the music from the actual groups on The Sing Off. Here’s the list:

Under Pressure – “The Sing-Off” Contestants

Superstar Medley Song List
Voices of Lee – The Beatles – Paperback Writer /Oh! Darling /All You Need Is Love
Nota – Jackson 5 – I Want You Back /I’ll Be There /ABC
Beezlebubs – The Who – Behind Blue Eyes /Who Are You /Baba O’Reilly
Maxx Factor – Beach Boys – God Only Knows /Wouldn’t It Be Nice /Good Vibrations
The Socals – Journey – Anyway You Want It /Open Arms /Don’t Stop Believin’

Judge’s Request Song List
Voices of Lee – Michael Jackson – Man In The Mirror
Nota – Peter Gabriel – Sledgehammer
Beezlebubs – Neil Diamond – Sweet Caroline
The Socals – The Bangles and Simon Garfunkel – A Hazy Shade of Winter

Yep, you know the Pure TV Network is all about the music on reality TV shows. NBC’s new show Sing Off seems like the next good fit for listing the music. Luckily, I have a nice inside connection that sent me the full list of music from Sing Off.

From last night’s Group Choice selections:
Voices of Lee – Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield
Nota – I’m Yours by Jason Mraz
Solo – Whatcha Say by Jason Derulo
Beelzebubs – Magical Mystery Tour by The Beatles
Maxx Factor – Dancin’ Queen by ABBA
The SoCals – Somebody to Love by Queen
Face – Livin’ On a Prayer by Bon Jovi
Noteworthy – Think by Aretha Franklin
Cast Song – Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie

From last night’s Big Hit and Guilty Pleasure selections:
Voices of Lee – No One by Alicia Keys and Freedom 90 by George Michael
Nota – Down by Jay Sean and Stayin’ Alive by The Bee Gees
Beelzebubs – Right Round by Flo Rida and Come Sail Away by Styx
Maxx Factor – Love Story by Taylor Swift and Rehab by Amy Winehouse
The SoCals – Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson and Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now by Jefferson Starship
Noteworthy – Viva La Vida by Coldplay and Hold On by Wilson Phillips

Enjoy!!

Tonight is the premiere of a new show called the Sing-Off on NBC. I’m really interested to see how this show does. I love music. I love reality tv. I love a capella (when it’s done right). My college had some amazing a capella groups and if this show lives up to that standard, then I’m sure it will be a night to remember.

Check out this clip of the singers from the Sing-Off on NBC:

Also, here’s a short video highlighting where the 8 a capella groups come from and what they’re all about:

A brand new set of judges. It will be interesting to see how many of the judges embrace the challenge and ridicule of being a judge. Many of the stars turned judge are soft and won’t share what they’re really feeling. Let’s hope that’s not the case with these judges.

I previously posted about NBC casting the Biggest Loser Season 8. Too bad those casting calls are already complete. The good news is that NBC is already casting for Biggest Loser Season 9. Here’s the details from the NBC website:
