		<description><![CDATA[Some shows like Gossip Girl and So You Think You Can Dance are jumping the shark.]]></description>

<p>What&#8217;s up with the television?! <img src='http://jenkwok.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />   It is making me sad.</p>
<p>First of all, Gossip Girl is sucking with it&#8217;s bad porn hair, TrachtenDuff teen slut double-punch  and threesome?!  Like so many shows, this schizz just doesn&#8217;t translate to college.  All the camp was great when these kids were kids, but now we&#8217;re supposed to care about them growing up?  Isn&#8217;t this show supposed to provide a sort of infantile &#8211; albeit, sexy &#8211; escapism?</p>

<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 435px"><a href="http://jenkwok.net/wp-admin/"><img title="Gossip Girl threesome - who cares?!" src="http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20091109/425.gossipgirl.szohr.badgley.duff.lc.110909.jpg" alt="Gossip Girl, Jessica Szohr, Penn Badgley, Hilary Duff" width="425" height="315" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Who cares?!

<p><img src="file:///tmp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>SYTYCD falls short of its own self-aggrandizing.  This is the opposite of self-fulfilling prophecy.  This is like what&#8217;s going to happen to the Kardashians or something.  First of all, Paula Abdul fails to show up after much hullabaloo, the new stage is wack, and there hasn&#8217;t been one memorable routine yet (although with all the tears, you&#8217;d think they were all Twyla Tharp dances about orphans with cancer).  Plus, boooo to losing the biggest asset ever: Mia Michaels.  And boo to Nigel for patting his own back so much there&#8217;s probably a hole in his suit over the right shoulder.  Even former &#8220;star&#8221; choreography <a href="http://www.poptower.com/dan-karaty.htm">Dan Karaty</a> has fallen so far as to be a COMPETITOR in Bravo&#8217;s new &#8220;<a href="http://www.bravotv.com/launch-my-line">Launch My Line</a>&#8220;.  So Mary Murphy will be on Real Housewives of  San Diego next (God knows you don&#8217;t actually have to be a wife to be on that show)?!</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 526px"><img src="http://images.buddytv.com/articles/SYTYCD_Pauline-Peter_Jazz_0032.jpg" alt="" width="516" height="357" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I don&#39;t care if it&#39;s a Top 20 of tap dancing Asians - I don&#39;t want to see pixels behind dancers unless it&#39;s a live show performed below 14th Street!</p></div>
<p>Ugly Betty is the only show I watch regularly that is just getting better with time.  Becki Newton&#8217;s Amanda gets sassier by the eye squint, Justin&#8217;s self-discovery/denial is riveting, and a this show is somehow topping itself even though it&#8217;s had multiple murders and a tranny since the first season!   Sometimes bigger is better, but mostly it&#8217;s that better is better.</p>
