so you think you can dance

SYTYCD The Fox reality TV dancing series, So You Think You Can Dance, will have a slightly different format this year, it’s ninth season on the network.  After the break, are audition dates for the ninth season.

This year, Fox renewed the series, but with a twist…  No results show.

With no results show for So You Think You Can Dance, that means that Nigel Lythgoe, the co-creator and exec producer of SYTYCD, will need to reformat the show to accomodate the new one-day format.

Word on the street was that the first season of SYTYCD was a single-night event, so it can be done.

Plus, even though it could be entertaining, sometimes it just felt like a drawn out time-killer.  I did a lot of FF’ing when I watched my DVR’s 2nd episode each week.

And sometimes, the musical or dance guests were interesting.  But more often than not, I only tuned in to catch the results.

So one night a week telecast schedule seems fine by me.

Brusimm Cinema Static TV NewsThe latest TV news for TV Show renewals has been a bit busy over the last week as news on the street was circulating with threatening titles that looked like The Simpsons was possibly getting canceled, or huge pay cuts were on the horizon for the popular animated Fox TV show.

First up: The Simpsons has been renewed for two more years, giving them a 24th and 25th season.  This new contract will also include their 500th episode.

- THE SIMSPONS products on Amazon  -

The news started up as we all heard about the woes between the cast of The Simpsons and Fox.  Basically, Fox ran up against the financial wall and had to make some decisions.

Then we heard about the ultimatum Fox delivered about cutting salaries.

Rumors of the renewal included the idea that the cast may have taken a potential 45% pay cut and get no residuals. Nothing has been confirmed but being that the cast already had back-end profit deals, not taking a new deal isn’t huge.

-

Admittedly, taking a pay cut is a refreshing thing to see, and it’s a confusing… conundrum.
