While I've not been watching the episode of So You Think You Can Dance? from last week, the wife's viewing has been in the background as I've been doing things. From what I've heard, it sounds like that episode, a full 2 hours, had about 12 minutes of dancing (six couples and six individuals in a "dance-off" to stay on the show) wedged into vacuous judge comments, pointless interviews, and the hypersensitive shrieks of the audience every time a judge said something that could possibly be interpreted as negative. Or positive, really.
And let's not forget the ads, which come with regularity. This includes two breaks during the dance-off, when you think you could build some energy by having each dancer come out one after another in a sort of "can you top this?" performance. Instead, each dancer is separated by a pointless interview and pimping of the phone number to keep them on the show. Which just drags things down even more.
If a show sounds as bad as this, I can't hold out too much hope for the watching.
