SYTYCD is BACK here are my ramblings

The So You Think You Can Dance top 20 premiered last night and my summer is made. Last week I was driving along flippin' through the stations and heard Estelle's "American Boy" for the first time and thought that is going to be on this season... low and behold, first song up "American Boy". While it might not have been "funk"enough for Dan, it showed personality and humor.
My daughter claims Suzi is her fav, I really don't see her going to the end, but time will tell. I like the new format introducing partners much more than watching them pick from the hat. You know they put on fake excitement when they pick since the cameras are on but really think, "Smile. Crap, am I really stuck again with this popper doing ballroom? Smile, maybe jump into his arms. I'm going home. Smile, jump up and down, smile."

Smart TV

So I turned on the tv today and Tom had obviously been watching since ESPN came on, but also a little box came up saying press the red button on your remote for interactive features. Of course I pushed it. It brought up a special menu just for the US Open. Options- Top 5 Leaders, Leaderboard, US Open Mix, US Open Trivia, Past Champions and Tune to ESPN. While I am not a sports or golf nut, I am a tv nut and thrilled at my new DirecTV options.

My new hobby? Pressing the red button on every tv show to see if anything comes up.
