Is it wrong that I'm glad Fox won't show the president's press conference tonight? [link]

I'm not quite sure how I feel about not showing the news conference. I mean, it's the president (not that I really want to miss the first hour of SYTYCD) Is it a slight on Obama, or just an acknowledgment that people don't want their shows preempted?

I think it's some of both.

Me, neither. Not that any of it was outright bad, but none of it has lived up to expectation.

Yeah, it's all meh so far. I think this is why I'm not in love with anyone this season -- it's not like there's anyone who is always great, or even surprisingly good. Actually, thinking about it, "surprisingly good" is where I fall in love with people -- and of course the judges pull "no training!" bullshit to make that happen -- but the dancers this season seem overall really good, but there is so little that is stunning.

I'm glad they brought in an actual dance judge along with Ellen, I must say...

Hee, if she did I missed it.

My favorite part of this show, tonight, is Ellen. We need her as a judge more often even if she doesn't know squat about dance.
