I'd never watched an entire episode of a so-called "reality" show, ever, until a friend turned me on to So You Think You Can Dance. I just have no interest in that sort of show, even though I know a lot of people enjoy them. When I lived in NY, LA, and SF I used to see truly great modern dance all the time, and I thoroughly love it. When I visit London I always seek out the great dance programs at Sadler's Wells. But now that I live in a more rural area it's just not available. I was bemoaning this lack of really good modern dance locally when a friend I'll be forever grateful to told me I really ought to try SYTYCD, because the dancers and choreographers really were quite talented. So I did. Oh my. I am completely hooked on this show, anxiously awaiting each week's episodes. The dancers are phenomenal and the choreography brilliant! It's also a beautifully constructed show, with intelligent, knowledgeable, and fun-loving judges, a smart and beautiful host that I actually enjoy listening to, and very engaging looks at the dancers working incredibly hard and giving it everything they've got. I've been enthralled, I've laughed, I've cried. I've even discovered new music that I liked enough to seek out and purchase (Roisin Murphy). I really can't recommend this show highly enough if you enjoy dance. And since I only discovered SYTYCD in the middle of the *fifth* season, I would *so* love to have DVDs of the earlier seasons to feast on. I'm sure it would take me a while to work my way through all that, but what a pleasure! And, oh Powers That Be, *please* release them on Blu-ray! I've been watching the show in HD and I would not want to go back to standard definition. If you sell 'em, I'll buy 'em. Please!
