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.

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