Five Things I Have Opinions On. That is all.
1. American Idol: Who even cares who won? Seriously. The finale was the best two hours of TV I've seen in a long time. Cyndi Lauper played the dulcimer! Kiss with Lambert in full Kiss attire other than makeup! Lionel-freakin'-Richie! BEP doing a live version of "Boom Boom Pow" that is SO MUCH BETTER than the recorded version. Norman Gentle! They'll both be stars. That finale though? Worth all of the approximately 46 hours of my life (almost two full days people) spent watching that show this year.
2. DWTS: Listen, Gilles will have roles (I hear a rumor of an offer on "Brothers and Sisters") and, sure, he should have won. But did you really think America was going to vote for a FRENCHMAN over an AMERICAN OLYPMPIC MEDALIST? Come on. Plus, she's only 17. It means more to her.
3. SYTYCD: I laugh because I know that I have non-North Americans who check in with me here and whom, I'm sure, are all like "What is all this bizarre reality TV you all watch and why can't you just call it by the full names?" Looks like it will be a good season, but I never really like the audition shows for that show. You need the real dancing for it to count.
4. Terminator: Salvation : I honestly thought the TV show was better. If you are a nerd (raises hand) you will find this to be too much flash and not enough Terminator legend for your liking.
5. The Pens: So it will be a rematch. We'll have a goal-tending problem. Fleury is great, but he plays straight to the puck, and they shoot at lots of sharp angles. Both teams are better than they were last year. The question is - do both Malkin & Crosby stay hot, and if they do, I say Pens in 6.
