I don't think I can dance

We've been watching "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox. I much prefer this over "American Idol." First, the dancing is very good. Second, it's diverse. They do all different types of dancing, things I'd never heard of, things that aren't popular. "Idol" seems to search out the new Whitney Houston (pre-coked out Whitney), but more bland.

Both shows have awful judges. At least on the dance show they mix it up, requiring the judges to choreograph dances some weeks, so the crazy drunk Paula-like dance judge gets to show that she's a crazy drunk Paula-like choreographer.

Anyway, we don't get NBC in SF. It seems the local affiliate, KRON, got too big for its britches a few years ago, and NBC split to San Jose, about an hour south. Now KRON shows Dr. Phil and Sex in the City all night, and we get a very fuzzy San Jose NBC. It's weird, b/c SF is a huge market. But it's been 4 years and they haven't come back.

So some of the shows we like (Law & Order, the Office, Earl, Scrubs) may be no more. That's ok. As long as there's snotty British men criticizing bright-eyed teenagers, we'll be ok.
