Did any of you watch the Community season finale (judging from the ratings, not many of you did)?  I seriously can’t believe that NBC renewed this show.  Seriously.

So, in the finale (which should have been the series finale), Jeff Winger finally graduates.  Is that enough for the writers of Community though?  Of course not.  In every episode now there has to be some kind of wackiness that has just ruined what was formerly a fantastic show.  In this case, we have a Terminator/Matrix/Freaky Friday/Disney Bad guy movie reference show that just made no sense at all.

To start the episode, Jeff receives a job offer from his former law partner to come back and make big bucks as a lawyer.  Wait you say.  Jeff is just graduating from community college.  Is this possible?  Of course it is dear reader.  Don’t worry though.  That is the least of all the problems with this stupid episode.

So there is an evil Jeff and and evil Annie running around trying to get Jeff to go take the law job so he can return to the dark side.  Jeff has grown fond of his community college friends (and who of us who went to community college can’t relate to that?)  Why does there have to be an evil Jeff and evil Annie?  Who the hell knows.  The entire fricken point of Jeff going to community college was so he could get back to being a lawyer.  It was the central point of the entire show.

Would the brilliant writers of Community be happy if there was just an evil Jeff and evil Annie?  Of course not.  And the wackiness level just wouldn’t be up to what is expected of Community if that were the case.  Fear not.  The writers did their job and provided us an evil everybody.

I don’t want to keep going on about this show.  I think it is lost it’s way and has totally gone away from what made it funny in the first few seasons.  NBC tried to kill this show by moving it all over the schedule, not even putting it on the mid-season schedule, and firing it’s best writers.  To me, NBC did it’s job.  They killed the show.  Or at least they should have.  NBC needs to perform a mercy killing and put this show out of it’s misery.

One of my favorite shows of the summer premiered tonight.  So You Think You Can Dance premiered it’s 10th season tonight with the first of the audition rounds in Los Angeles.

If you have never watched this show, do yourself a favor and get in to it.  This is the best of all the talent shows on TV.  The judges never mock people like they do on Idol, and frankly, that is one of the best things about this show.  I left Idol when they kept bringing clearly mentally challenged people on stage to mock them.  That doesn’t happen on SYTYCD.  That doesn’t mean there aren’t terrible dancers, there are.  The judges however handle it correctly.  They will tell terrible dancers the truth and tell them that they might never dance professionally, but don’t lose the love of dance, just dance because you have fun with it.

Full disclosure here.  I can’t dance.  Not a lick.  I know I know.  But Midwest Mike, you are so clearly talented.  How can that be?  Well I don’t know folks.  I wasn’t gifted with that ability.  Clearly the maker decided that my talents would be better used elsewhere.  That being said, I love to watch talented dancers and I love seeing all the different styles of dance that are out there.

I really love this show and since it’s a summer show, I know you don’t have much else to watch.  Give So You Think You Can Dance a chance (hey that rhymes.  Remember when I said I have other talents?).  It airs on Fox on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8:00.

Here are some of my favorite moments:
