Still Hungry: Bravo's "Top Chef Watch What
Happens Reunion" Leaves Me Wanting More

post from Televisionary on 17 December 2009 02:50:00 AM. © Televisionary

Perhaps because this season focused on the strengths of the competitors and one particular sibling rivalry rather than on any animosity between the contestants, there wasn't a hell of a lot of controversy for Andy Cohen to discuss. (Certainly no wigs were ripped off anyone's head on Top Chef this season.)So last night's Top Chef reunion was a rather low-key affair (especially compared with the histrionics seen on Real Housewives get-togethers), with the only remote sparks of controversy being those emanating from Eli's cancer comment to Robin, Ash's feeling that Padma hated him, and, well, that was about it. Hell, anyone hoping to learn who the fan favorite would be from Top Chef: Las Vegas still has to wait until tonight to find out as someone decided not to announce the fan favorite winner during the reunion special (a likely place to do so) but to wait until Andy Cohen's Thursday latenight talkfest to do so. (In other words: Grr. Though there's no doubt that either Kevin or Jennifer will take home the prize.)An effort on the part of host Andy Cohen to make it seem as though the cheftestants had bullied Robin throughout the competition sort of fell flat. While I'm not sure why one of the chefs didn't just tell the overly gregarious Robin to shut up while she dithered on endlessly, I didn't think that their dislike of her was anything other than personality conflict. (Her constant talking would have gotten under my skin so I can sympathize.)As for the cancer issue,...

Review: So You Think You Can Dance - America's
Favorite Dancer (season finale)

post from TV Squad on 17 December 2009 01:45:00 AM. © TV Squad

(S06E24) From six to one, it was a night of eliminations on the sixth season finale of So You Think You Can Dance. They even trotted out six judges to sit in on the festivities. Joining Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and Adam Shankman on the dais were Lil' C, Tyce Diorio and Debbie Allen.

This allowed the show to have the judges "pick" their favorite performances of the season and have them performed again. I'm always suspect as to just how many of these choices are truly the picks of each particular judge, or if the judges are just chosen to introduce the dances the producers want to showcase again.

We also got guest appearances by dance troupe The Groovaloos, and a quartet of singers: Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez, Leona Lewis and Adam Lambert. They didn't all sing together, but could you imagine that performance if they had?

Welcome to your Thursday morning television briefing.More Chuck Lorre on the way... CBS has given a pilot order to multi-camera comedy Mike and Molly, written by Mark Roberts (Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory) and executive produced by Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men). Project, from Warner Bros. Television, will center on a couple who are overeaters and meet at an Overeaters Anonymous support group. (Variety, Hollywood Reporter)Emmy Rossum (Dragonball Evolution), Allison Janney (The West Wing), and Justin Chatwin (Dragonball Evolution) have been cast in Showtime drama pilot Shameless, a US adaptation of Paul Abbot's UK skein that will star William H. Macy. Rossum will play Fiona, the 18-year-old daughter of an alcoholic (Macy) whose wife has gone missing and who must raise her five younger brothers. Janney will play a potential love interest for Macy's character, while Chatwin will play a car thief who has a thing for Fiona. (Hollywood Reporter)The Wrap's Josef Adalian is reporting that FOX has ceased its development of the US version of British game show The Cube, from Objective Media. Format had participants climb into a stress chamber and perform various tasks. The network confirmed that the series is no longer in development at FOX but declined to give a reason behind the switcheroo. Adalian notes that whatever the reason it gives an advantage to NBC, which had been developing the similarly-themed format Perfect 10, hosted by Guy Fieri. (The Wrap's...

Review: Friday Night Lights - In the Bag

post from TV Squad on 17 December 2009 01:28:00 AM. © TV Squad

(S04E07) Friday Night Lights is a show that's as much about subtle touches as it is about bone-crunching hits on the football field. This episode was all about pain, but not just the kind that requires a doctor's touch. Julie felt it, as did Landry, Becky, Vince and Tim in their own ways.

For a change of pace, Tami wasn't getting the fuzzy end of the lollipop, and for Coach Taylor, things were looking up even though the sheriff was snooping around the locker of one of his players. And if you're wondering what happened after Matt left Dillon last week, read on.
