Nothing good on tonight. I think I may just read a book and turn in early.
Or…
I could watch part one of the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finale!! Can you believe that tonight is the last performance night of the season? I can’t. Cah-razy! I’m so very excited and I hope you are too. Dan and I will be watching together and getting out our final performance night SYTYCD podcast of the summer.
But of course SYTYCD isn’t the only show on the old tube tonight, here are a few highlights from tonight’s TV lineup. If I missed anything leave me a comment or tweet me at twitter.com/gmmr.
So You Think You Can Dance | 8pm on Fox
Tonight the guys and the girls are paired up and the final four dancers will take the stage for the last time in competition. Your votes tonight will determine whether Jeanine, Kayla, Brandon or Evan is crowned America’s Favorite Dancer on tomorrow night’s results show.

For me, tonight will be ALL about the SYTYCD finale performance night! I’ll even drink to that. I’ll be watching it alone, which will be sad, but I’ll be routing for my faves. I’m hoping you’ll have the play-by-play tomorrow, so I can watch the final episode of the season with my online SYTYCD friends!
I’m watching Top Chef Masters even though it doesn’t compare the real Top Chef. I’ve become invested in the outcome though, because I absolutely adore Art Smith – I want to hang out with him!
I’m glad that I’m not alone in my love for Art Smith.
Def SYTYCD and some Leverage. I gave up on Dark Blue. It is not doing it for me. And some Chelsea with Chris Hardwick! When’s the next Big Brother update? Do you only do those on Friday?
I’m still holding onto Dark Blue, though I didn’t like last week as much as the week before. I think that once they give every player a showcase episode it will become more even in quality week to week.
I watched all 3 episodes of Dark Blue that were in my DVR the other night. In 3 hours. I thought it was good. Will watch tonights ep tomorrow. I DONT do commercials
