ABDC Season 6 Episode 3

Ok so we are officially into the sixth season of the show. This week is Black Eyed Peas week and I'm pretty excited because whether you love or hate them BEP makes great music to dance too. Let's get right to the crews.

Iconic Boyz: I actually think they killed this routine. I think the judges can't see through the cuteness of the boys cause if a crew of older people did this same routine I think they would be more expressive about it. I believe the choreo was on point and they are definitely a crew to watch out for. And the chubby kid T Money, is officially my hero!

Phunk Phenomenon: although I was upset to not only hear they made the show but was one of the first crews announced, I have to give it to them they (in lil mama voice) "turnt it up". They are still not one of my favorite crew though.

IaMmE: This routine was pretty cool, when it comes to tutting and creating illusions this crew has it down pact. Their robot task was dope, I just think they need to step it up in the choreo.

Street Kingdom: :sigh: I deemed this crew one of my faves early on but even I knew when it comes to challenges every week the intensity of rawness of the first week's routine will not shine through. I hope they find a way to introduce choreo into their crumping or im afraid they'll be going home soon.

787: they definitely stepped it up from last week in my eyes. I enojoyed the choreo, the stunts, all that. Muy bueno.

Instant Noodles: I just can't get into these guys, I think the voters of ABDC is just enamored with the "asian bboy crew" thing that they can't see these guys aren't that good. Their routine was lacking for me once again. The video game task they did was pretty cool but there's nothing special about these dudes to me. Sorry.
-The bottom two-
So my predictions for the bottom 2 last week were totally wrong. I mean like way off and I was very upset that Request was in the bottom 2!! (i take this show very seriously, i know sad right?) I think because of what I said in the post about the season premiere that they got the worst song of the night and they really couldnt bring it. Now I know that if you are a good dance crew you should be able to dance to any song but come on that song sucked! Anyways the 2nd crew in the bottom 2 was Footworkingz which surprised me. I guess sometimes its hard for the general majority of voters to latch on to certain dance cultures :kanye shrug:
Footworkingz: the routine was ok, the task of the illusion of floating was eh. I think they just came out on the stage with a defeatist attitude. They gave up to early and to me it showed. *spoiler alert* they got sent home.
Request: These girls killed it!!!! I loved this routine and they executed the task of cloning to a T. I think America will now see what I saw in these girls from the beginning.

Finishing touches: As I said before T Money is my new hero. As the seasons go on Lil Mama's commentary continues to make less and less sense, she is definitely the Paula Abdul of ABDC. It's like she speaks Clingon or Pig Latin. She does not speak in complete sentences, there is no nouns or verbs when she speaks. D-Trix is still awesome and adorable and JC is always the stern voice of reason. My bottom 2 for next week is Instant Noodles and I hate to say it but I think Street Kingdom will be up there as well. Here's the full episode.

TV is my boyfriend.


My boyfriend Television has been giving me some good gifts lately. We are well into Season 3 of RuPaul's Drag Race and as always the season is fierce. My favorite queens are Raja and Alexis Mateo they are part of my "Drag Fantasy Team". For a while I was a fan of Manila it seemed like she would be a break out star but she has kind of been in the middle the whole season so far and she was the third person on my team but has since been replaced with Shangela. Yes Shangela the one who got the boot first last season is back and although I don't think she is the best QUEEN, she is a fantastic entertainer and has proven so every challenge so far. Here is this season's trip to the Library, this batch of reading has nothing on last season reading though:

In addition to RuPaul's Drag Race my boyfriend TV has dropped of another present for me, season 6 of America's Best Dance Crew is coming back in April. It seems like it has been gone forever but it's only been a year right? Although I always complain about how it gets worse every season I still look forward to it. Here is the trailer:

TV has been with me through thick and thicker, always entertaining, always bright and expensive as hell. He treats my right. Goodnight

ABDC Season 4 Episode 2

So this week on america's best dance crew was Beyonce week. I was so excited to hear that cause you know Beyonce makes great dance records. I have to say that it was one of my least favorite episodes. Like there's always that 1 episode from every season that just doenst work. Season 1 was the Broadway challenge, Season 2 was the Janet Jackson challenge, Season 3 was the Magic challenge and this season on the 2nd friggin episode the Beyonce challenge to me=epic fail. It failed so much that Im not even going to take the time to break down each performance. Im just going to comment on the crews whom I took a liking to during week 1. Rhythm City was eh. Vogue Evolution...f-ing killed that! I mean they had to its Beyonce! Artistry in Motion got sent home, good. Who's going to be in the bottom 2?...hmm really cant call that one since they all sucked to me, but VE aint going anywhere.

ABDC Season 4 Episode 1

So this is truly the most wonderful time of the year(well for me at least)! Because America's Best Dance Crew is back. I am always skeptical about the crews that are going to be on. Especially since last season they stopped doing the casting special so the viewers have no initial control of what crews are going to be on the show. However this season I am pretty excited. So once again I start my reviews of the show, first up the first episode duh!
Beat Your Feet Kings (BYFK): I liked the crews energy and grit the foot work is crazy, I agree with the judges that it needed to be cleaner.I think they also should have used more of the stage, it was like they were all scrunched up the whole time. I dont know how they will do with all the crew challenges but obviously we shall see.

We Are Heroes(WAAAH!): Sigh, great a crew that models themselves after Beat Freaks, for those that dont know, I really did not like Beat Freaks I thought they were overrated. The performance was AIIIGHT, they would prolly do good with the challenges this season, Ill wait a few more episodes before the hatred begins, oh and the costumes erm FTW?

Afroborike(AB): They were ok, the performance reminded me of my Nina *my spanish godmother* I mean I would like to see how they do with the challenges, but im neither here nor there about them.Next.
*The Judges save We are Heroes and Afroborike and sends Beat Your Feet Kings to the sudden death round, I see why they were the least clean out of the 3*

The Massive Monkees(MM): They are the seemingly required b-boy crew on ABDC. Anyways I thought they were cool another crew that I am not that excited about only because there have been a b-boy crew every season of the show and Im kind of bored with it so we'll see how they do they'll probably go pretty far.

Artistry In Motion(AiM): Ehh, I see what they're trying to do but, NEXT.

Southern Movement(SM): They were good although I do feel they were gimmicky, I felt like they threw that whole motiff together just for the show but the tutting was pretty cool at the end. I think they would do good with the challenges.
*The Judges save Massive Monkeys and Artistry in Motion sending Southern Movement to the sudden death challenge, I would have sent AiM in but hey im no judge(on the show at least)*

Rhythm City(RC): Maybe im bias cause they are from the BX but they were the best crew on the show so far, Im all about RC this season until they give me a reason not to. The Boogie DOOOWNN!

Fr3sh: They were cute, I liked their personalities, the choreo was good but they really did not stand out against the group of crews that they were against.

Vogue Evolution(VE): Yes Yes Yes Snap.For.The.Kids honey. The fag hag that I am I eeked at the sight of this crew, love love love them. I am although worried how they would carry off the challenges.
*Judges save Rhythm City(RC) and Vogue Evolution(VE) sending Fr3sh to the sudden death challenge*

In the Sudden death challenge BYFK, Southern Movement and Fr3sh went head to head dancing to a thrilling rendition of "Boom Boom Pow"<----read that whole statement in your best Maya Angelou or Julia Childs impression! I thought all 3 crews really brought it, I thought Fr3sh's was the best actually, it was real...cute, they're just CUTE! Long story short they got sent home HA. But its really like I said before the were a good crew but they didnt stand out against those they were up against.

Ok so this season I am all about RC and VE funny how they both are from NYC, favoritism much? As far as the bottom 2 next week I really cant say, I going to guess BYFK and Southern Movement, maybe AIM and in my worst fears VE cause people may be I dont know not open to a crew like that. Some are saying they are not excited about this season but I am, yes it is obvious the show casting was really reaching to get very diverse crews but they have to in order the keep the show interesting. Last season in hindsight was lackluster, and although I was all about Quest winning, they are not my favorite winners, I was just sooo against Beat Freaks lol. Its like how some people voted for Obama to avoid "another G.W. Bush". so tell me what you think who's your fav crew(s) who you think is going to be in the bottom 2 next week etc.Here's the full epi.

Black and white TV


I came across this interesting article on New York Times online and its talking about the current lack of diversity on television. Growing up there were a good number of shows with either an all black cast or had a main character who was african american. Shows like Living Single, Martin, Wayans Bros.,The Jamie Foxx Show,Fresh Prince, A Different World, Cosby Show and others. There were some shows that had black peoples that should have never made it television like The Parkers, Homeboys in Outer Space, The Parkers, The Parkers and The Parkers. Now a days its not like that. I dont think its necessarily a race thing, its just these days its all about reality television and there just isnt any room for sitcoms. The article pointed out the cancellations of Chocolate News and D.L. Hughley's CNN show (althought I heard dismall reviews of that show from the jump). I dont think there is some conspiracy going on, things just are they way they are, which that statement in itself is pretty sad. Read the article here.

ABDC Finale!

Yeah so this past thursday was the finale of ABDC. I love and hate shows like these. Love them cause we get to find out why we've been watching this whole season, hate cause its 55mins of bs filler, JUST GET TO THE RESULTS ALREADY! So long story short America got it right and voted Quest as the winner. To me it was really a no brainer but I was worried that Beat Freaks might have won cause people really liked them. All though I was not a fan of BF all season long I have to give them credit for breaking ground on the show and what not but I still feel they are overrated. What annoys me is that for some reason when it came to them they didnt want to 'dance like women', you dont hear men say they dont want to dance like men. What's wrong with being a woman eh? Anyways yeah I believe they had some good routines like the Magic ball one and battle of the sexes week performance. Quest on the other hand had me from day one. They were always creative and energetic and they just had it all, which is why they won. As a whole though season 3 I would have to say has been the weakest season to me, all the crews were not that great. I feel if you have to learn to love a crew just cause they are on there that takes the fun out of it. Hopefully you get what im talkin bout, if you dont this wont be the first time. Im still sad that Boxcuhttaz got cut out so early. So im anxiously awaiting the next season and hopefully it will be more exciting.

ABDC Week 7

So this week was the semi-finals aka hip hop decathlon/last chance challenge. We all knew who was going to be in the top 2 so no suspense there, but it was a really good show. The first segment of the show was the hip hop decathlon where ABDC alumni came back (on video boooo) and showed 5 different styles of dance, so let's break it down:
Beat Freaks: so they were voted first place this week woop-te-do so they danced first. Their performance was WEAK!!!! It lacked energy, it was sloppy, the housing section...she looked like she was having a seizure that is not housing at all. Shane is a D!CK RIDER, it was booty, not at all their best performance. This is the first time I have ever agreed with Lil Mama.
Quest: DISGUSTING! They merked it, they killed everyone then pissed on them then lit them on fire. The tutting section Hok what!! Just ridunkulous.
Fly Khicks: goodbye.
NExt up was the last chance challenge were its like a closing statement
Beat Freaks: BOOOORRRIIIINNG, the whole live your dreams shtick, spare me, its a reality show.
Quest: or-QUEST-tra, sick. Using the piano as a part of the performance, brilliant.
As a whole this was a great exciting episode Quest performances were the best. This whole season I would have to say its been BF and Quest going head to head the whole time. Although I am not a BF fan I do give these women credit but Quest is it. Although I think that the powers that be would try to have BF win cause it'll be the first female crew to win. I saw on one the MTV message boards that said "The people want Quest, the judges want Beat Freaks" I guess we will see. However: I wanted more alumni 'specially Ronnie and Frost. Here's the full episode:

ABDC Week 6

This week was the Battle of the Sexes challenge. This week marks the first time that all the crews perform together. The opening dance was cute, but I personally never really liked when the crews dance together. Like stop wasting time, let's get this show on the road ya know? Anyways this is the first time in the show's short history to have two all female and two all male crews, and im quite sure the producers had nothing to do with that.
Quest: they were the first crew to go on to the semi-finals next week sending Fly Khicks to the bottom. They danced to Chris "i'll smack a bitch" Brown which is kind of awkward on a battle of the sexes (a Rihanna song is used later). They did a good job, it was not one of my favorite Quest performance, but I love these guys so whatever.
Beat Freaks: As much as I am not a big fan of Beat Freaks these ladies have been killing the competition these past couple of weeks. The whole robotic opening, 'ol girl at the end doing headspins while putting shades on? Cold. They are more than likely going to win this show if Quest dont just blow them out of the box.
The bottom two were Strikers and Fly Khicks as I predicted last week (but it was quite obvious who was going to be in the bottom anyways).
Strikers:They danced to Daddy Yankees "Pose" which the video features season 1 champs and the BEST dance crew Jabbawockeez. Ok the performance...just wasnt good, it wasnt. Mike got lost from the jump and the crew as a whole was just sloopy, and now is not the time for that.
Fly Khicks: they performed Rhianna's "Pon de replay" (awwwkaard) As much as I wanted to go home weeks ago these chicks delivered. Point blank.
So the Strikers went home and the Fly Khicks stayed to make it on to the semi-finals. I hope the producers dont try to pull something slick and have an all female finale cause im sorry FK just dont belong in the final two. So favorite performance of the night would have to go to the Beat Freaks. Next week ABDC will bring back some alumni to incorporate different dance styles into the crews' performance. They are bringing back Kevin from Jabba, Taeko from Fysh n Chicks, Ronnie from Sup3r Crew (yumm!)Mike from Kabba Modern and Frost(super yummy) from Supreme Soul. Im really looking forward to that on. Here's the full 'sode.

ABDC Week 5

I did not get a chance to see ABDC on thursday night cause I had to work early friday morning so I am at work now eating shrimp fried rice and watching it online. This week was the illusion challenge. You already know the drill by now so here we go:
Beat Freaks: By now you know that I am not that huge of a BF supporter, but real recognizes real and they had a good performance this week. Shane said its one of the greatest performances of all 3 seasons...eh let's not get ahead of ourselves here. However the ladies did really well, they used their illusion throughout the whole performance, it was a good show. Brava ladies.
Quest: As always they did a good job. I liked the storyline, the choreo but I agree with JC it was too much going on and the transitions were not clear. It was not my favorite Quest performance.
Strikers All Stars: Yeah it was not the best performance I think the illusion got in the way of their piece. On the Strikers scale that they have set for themselves this was not great, but I still like them.
So Dyanmic Edition and Fly Khicks were in the bottom as I predicted last week
Dynamic Edition: what I noticed in this routine is that all of their routines look the same. I think the illusion was kinda awkward in the performance.
Fly Khicks: I really liked this performance even though Im mad they are still here but I liked the choreo but their illusion again was awkward.
So Dynamic Edition got sent home and FK stayed. I believe FK did deserve to stay. My favorite of the week...I dont think I had one. This challenge was kind of whack. The only crew that mastered the challenge was Beat Freaks. Next week I think the bottom will Fly Khicks and Strikers All Stars. Here's the full epi.

ABDC Week 4

Yes I know Im late with my recap. Later than usual, your welcome. So this week was the wack beat challenge. As usual the ones who usually do good did well, whatever that means. So im going to break down how I feel about the crews. And we're off:
Quest-Their track was "The Right Stuff" by NKOTB. As usual they were creative and humorous. The illusion that Hok was standing on his hands but not really was pretty sick. The choreo, the tricks, Quest just can't be stopped, they're definitely going to be in the top 2 or just take it all.
Strikers All Stars-They had to dance too Mc Hammer's "2 Legit 2 Quit" (I wished they would have done "Pumps and a Bump"). They did a good job, there were clean and powerful good choreo. At the end it became a bit male revue-ish (sidenote: I do not mind shirtless men but shirtless men dancing for some reason freaks me out ::shrugs::)
Bear Freaks-were up next with The Offspring's "Pretty Fly for a White Guy". If you don't know by now I'm not the biggest BF fan but ol' girl did a headspin and she made history ::golf claps:: me personally im not moved by their dancing, like I don't get goosebumps from them. And it annoyed the hell out of me with all of their "white" comments I mean they're white ('xept for the asian one).Next.
Dynamic Edition-had the greatest song of all time BRC's "Achy Breaky Heart". They did a whole lot better then they did last week. But I mean cloggers dancing to achy breaky, not much of a strech.
At the bottom two this week were Ringmasters and Fly Khicks.I predicted FK would be at the bottom with Ringmasters having a chance being in the bottom.
Ringmasters-got the "Macarena" I think they did pretty well. This was the most choreo they've done since they've been on the show.
Fly Khicks-they did alright. Next.
Ringmasters wound up getting the boot which LEY and I did NOT approve of this decision. But I guess this season they really wanted the whole 'girl power' motiff with the crews but whatever. So for next week I predict that Dynamic Edition and Fly Khicks will be at the bottom, as wildcards I would say Beat Freaks, but I say that everytime so we'll see. Here's the full epi.

Tengo Una Pregunta

What happened to the CW The Reaper!? I loved that show. Kevin Smith had something to do with it. It had Satan in it. And most importantly it had this man in it.

Rick Gonzalez. A hot plate of arroz con pollo stole mi corazon in Coach Carter and has not let go ever since. I dont know why I asked this question, it just dawned on me that it wasnt on anymore. It was a really good show. Sad face.

ABDC Week 3

Alright so this week was the Britney Spears challenge. I didnt know how this was going to go over with the male crews but it was the male crews whom had the best performances of the night. So this is what I think of each crews piece, and we're off:
Beat Freaks: They were aiight I was not overly excited when I saw them perform, I personally think this crew is a bit overrated. They did a good job dont get me wrong. However it was just average. Sidenote: Did you know Teresa (the one with the dark red/pinkish hair) introduced britney to K-Fed while she was dancing for her? Do you think the challenge was a bit awkward for her?
Strikers All Stars: This was an excellent performance, so precise, so creative. I think this crew is a bit underrated. Since the first episode these guys have given powerful creative performance every week. The whole mirror thing!? In the words of Shane Sparks: They killed the show for me.
Dynamic Edition: It just wasn't good. Next.
Quest: Ummm LOOOVED IT! It was such an entertaining performance the tricks, the efemenite dance moves, it was just all so good. Favorite performance of the night.
Fly Khicks: Their performance was okay. They are very strong dancers you have to give them that. At this point in the game with some of the crews on this show I dont know how much longer they would last though.
So the bottom two of the night was Team Millenia again which I was surprised over and Ringmasters which I predicted last week.
Team Millenia's performance was lackluster. They really had the chance to tear it up. The moves were nice but the energy wasnt.
Ringmasters: I enjoyed the performance, this was the first time I enjoyed a performance of theirs. I would like to see a little bit more dancing though.
So Team Millenia was sent home which I was surprised but I do agree with that decision.
My faves this week was Quest and Strikers all stars. I predict the bottom two would be between Dynamic Edition and Fly Khicks with my wild cards being Ringmasters and Beat Freaks. But with ABDC you never know. Here's the full show.

ABDC Week 2

This week was the fitnassss challenge. I was impressed by crews I was not impressed by last week. I will break it down by each performance, and we're off:
1. Quest-1 out of 3 judges really liked their performance. I liked it too. I agree it did look like taebo at some spots but what did they expect when you have to incorporate kick boxing into dancing, you get taebo duh! Anyways they were telling a story with the performance and I enjoyed it, yay for Quest once again.
2. Fly Khicks-they were alright. They had a lot of energy in the performance. I was tired just looking at them. But yeah they were alright.
3. Strikers-they really impressed me this week. It was my fav performance of the night. This is a big jump from last week when I was not feeling them.
4. Beat Freaks-They were cool, I really respect the ladies because of the whole b-girl thing but its getting kind of old already. I just hope as a whole the next best dance crew is not another break dance affiliated crew, its time for something different. All in all they were good I was not awed by them.
5. Dynamic Edition-they are not my fav crew on the show but I do agree with the judges in saying they are the cleanest crew on the show.
6. Ringmasters-::sighs:: um they need to dance more. I don't want to be too negative about any of the crews cause I probably could not do what any of the crews do but yeah next.
The bottom two crews were Team Millenia which I agreed with and Boxcuttherz which i did NOT agree with.
TM did have a good set with the theme and the chreo.
BC-also had a good set but not as good as TM and unfort Boxcuttherz went home which made me sad.
So best performance of the week for me was Strikers All Stars, weakest was Ringmasters. I think TM will be safe for next week with the votes. I really dont know who will be in the bottom next week. It's a toss up between Ringmasters, Fly Khicks and Dynamic Edition. There might even be a surprise and say possibly Beat Freaks, that's how ABDC roll sometimes.
Here's the full episode.

ABDC Recap

Alright so the season premiere of America's Best Dance Crew came on thursday and I am excited for this new season. So Im going to give my thoughts on each crew, ready go:
1. Strikers-eh, they aiight, nothing special about them to me, maybe cause I'm so use to seeing steppers so yeah.
2. Beat Freaks- I like these girls even thought I think its a little unfair cause if you look at these girls' credentials they have danced for Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, they've been in videos and movies. I feel like this show is a show for crews and dancers who want to get to that level but they are already there.
3.G.O.P- yes they are hot Puerto Rican men who dance, who would not love that? I do! But they just didnt do it for me they didnt have the energy that this show needs.
4. Quest-I like this crew as well. These b-boys are very clean very precise, lots of energy. This crew also has an unfair advantage cause two of its members were on So You Think You Can Dance (Dominic and Hok) but I really like this crew.
5. Fly Khicks-They are cute thank goodness they are not like Femme 5 or those chicks from season 2 oh um Sassx7, they have some meat to them, they might last a while.
6. Ringmasters-um yeah well um yeah you know they didnt dance much i dont know, next.
7.Boxcuttahz- Another crew that I like, they look like the underdogs so far, kind of like the Fanny Pak, they come with some nerdy kind of swag which I like.
8.Dynamic Edition-they are cloggers, that's all I have to say, they have some sick formations, we'll see how long they last.
9.Team Millenia-they got booted off the audition special last season and they are back this season. I was not impressed by them then and they didn't do it for me this time either. But I do like the fact that they dance to Head Automatica, point for them.
At the end there was a sudden death round with GOP, Fly Khicks, and Boxcuttahz with GOP going home. FK and Box stepped up in that round but GOP still didnt bring it so they got cut. As much as it hurts me to see hot ricans who can dance get booted off they were the weakest links thurday night so good bye. I look forward to seeing all these crews in the following weeks as they are taken out of their element, yay ABDC! I need a life woot!
HEre is the full episode.

Quality Programming


So I am a huuuuuge fan of America's Best Dance Crew and I am super happy that the show is premiering tonight!! I'm seriously going to buy a tub of ice cream and sit on my lard ass while wathcing other people work it. As always there is lots of buzz about the crews before the show even starts but im not into all that. I just sit back and watch with a clean slate. They are doing things differently this season. They did not start off with an audition special this season which I dont know about. I feel like the audience feels a little bit more a part of the process when they get to decide which crews end up in the competition. So we'll see how it goes. And every week I will give scatterdly detailed, lazy review of the show like 4 days after it airs. Yeah that's how I roll. So watch it tonight @10 on MTV or as I like to call it P(programming)TV cause aint no damn music up there anymore!And im done.

Thank Gawd Nip/Tuck is back!



Last night Nip/Tuck's new season premiered. This show is a perfect show for me. I have been watching it since it first came and whomever writes for the show is a friggin genious. The plot's they come up with, the ability to have the show never go stale, its amazing. Last night's show was no different.*Spoiler alert, if you did not see it and plan too, do not read on*
Season premiere's are always tough because you have to wrap last season up, catch up with the lives of the characters and introduce new conflicts that will come up in the future. I think the episode went beyond that. It started with the last scene from last season's finale but this time from Coleen's(Sean's obsessed 'talent agent' who was really some crazy old lady who once killed some talent agent by filling him up with teddy bear filling) point of view before she stabbed him. Now Sean is in a wheelchair doing some lectures for future doctors. Then Liz wants a breast reduction, during the pre-op Christian discovers a lump that turns out not to be breast cancer for her but winds up Christian has breast cancer. Then some other stuff happened, the doctors wound up getting sexed up by some random chicks (doesn't that happen to them in like every episode). But what I want to know is at the end of the show Sean gets out of bed and WALKS to the bathroom! Was that a dream or is he psyching everyone out and lying about the fact that he can't walk, what's that about! Is it pity? Is it payback? Is it he's afraid to operate again? I am quite sure we will all find out this season, and I can't wait. I want to see how Micheal Jackson look-a-like Matt and his ex-wife and their kid and that whole situation pans out. Also Julie and her luvah whole thingy and I guess her lover's daughter Eden is not coming back since she's on 90210.2 now, who knows. I can't wait till Rescue Me comes back, that's another excellent show with great writing. Too bad those same writers weren't on Dirt which was a great show in it's first season but was incredibly disappointing in it's second season, thus being cancelled. Enough with my TV jargon, im done. If you read this blog for some reason and you want to comment on the show last night, please feel free to.

Questlove the new Max Weinberg?


Photo Source:http://boogiespotblog.quickdfw.com/archives/2008/06/17/questlove.jpg
For those of you who don't know who Max Weinberg be he is the drummer on the Conan O'Brian show and also the drummer for the boss Bruce Springsteen and he was born in the USA...i think. So anyways The Roots will be the house band for Jimmy Fallon's new late night tv show when he takes Conan O'Brien spot and Conan takes Jay Leno's spot next year. So this mean that The Roots will no longer be doing extensive tours if no tours at all. That is really hard to imagine cause Roots have been on one long tour since like pshh '96? ?uestlove the Roots' drummer says
"I don't know if I want to be 40, on the road and single no more," he said. "And with the kids my group has now getting older ... it's harder for the guys to leave more than it was when the kids were two and three. And I can't even start to go on that path till a woman takes me seriously. And ain't no one taking a man serious who is in his own home for only three months out the year. I been in my crib since 2006 and I still ain't unpacked everything yet."
I think this is a really good look for the Roots, there is definitely no band on late night tv like them, and I am looking forward to see what Jimmy would do in Conan's spot. Those are quite literally some large shoes to fill for Jimmy 1) cause Conan is like 6+ feet tall 2) Cause Conan is awesome. I am however a little scared for Conan. I don't know if his type of humor will go over too well in the new time slot, even though its an hour earlier it's a completely different audience.

So sawree

After 14 seasons MadTV is finally being cancelled. Don't get me wrong if you have been reading this blog obviously I am a huge fan of MadTV, but the last 2 or 3 seasons have been lack luster so its time for them to go out to pasture. The show's co-creator David Salzman said that they are going to keep the show going this time on a cable channel. If they keep it going especially on cable I hope it becomes funny again.
