Taking a break from spoiling Harry Potter to discuss some summer Television.

SYTYCD: Now that we're in our top 10, I've gotta say that I don't like the format of them all performing the same solo routine. I'd rather they get a theme and get to perform in their own style (maybe even working with a choreagrapher to come up with it). The same performance concept might be more fair but it's a little boring. Sabra is still The ONE and I think she should win the competition. This should be a year for a woman to win because the 5 guys, outside of Danny, aren't really spectacular dancers. Also, Sarah has great legs.

Damages and Saving Grace: Damages was stylish but a little boring and maybe a little too obtuse. Saving Grace, meanwhile, has just about every character totally overacting but I was committed. I've been a Holly Hunter fan since Always (not to mention Raising Arizona) though and I'm a sucker for her most of the time.

Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations: I'm actually watching a show on Travel Channel! Amazing. And really quite good.

lol...funny you should mention Bourdain's show. Never watched till this past weekend. Jealous!

I liked Damages...although it was a bit predictable...I have Saving Grace waiting on the DVR (great ratings for that first eppy...now let's see if everybody comes back). Big fan of Holly, too...

I am now officially stoked for Showtime's Californication....watched it last night on Netflix and loved it.

Maybe I shouldn't be saying this about one of "ours" - but I worry about the plot of Damages having enough material to carry through to a second season. Is Glenn Close going to manipulate another young lawyer? It's the same question I had with Veronica Mars. If this storyline wraps up in the first season, what will so-and-so do in the next one?

And glad to see you on the Tony Bourdain bandwagon.

I said the same thing yesterday! What will they do for a 2nd season?

Ann, you guys worked with Trigger LA on that site, right?

I didn't realize the storyline for Damages was going to last all season. I don't think I have the patience to wait to find out what's going on. Character flaw, my non-existent attention span but there you go. I want to like it because of Glenn Close. We'll see.

That's right. They're taking our work away!

I'll always have Judge David Young. Watch for it starting September 10!

Heh. I saw it on Saren's site - http://www.sarensakurai.com/

I've been awaiting the new season of No Reservations all summer. New episode Monday night!

He writes and talks about food in the best way.
