"The Sing Off"
This Monday brought us the finale of The Sing Off, a performance show where every contestant, the judges and even the host sing live a capella. There are no backup dancers, pyrotechnics or light shows to obscure possible vocal shortcomings. The fact is, there aren’t very many, because all the acts on this [...]
Hey …did ya miss me? I’m really sorry I missed that last two weeks, but because of a bloggers union agreement, a show actually needs to have viewers to be reviewed and recapped every week. The Sing-Off doesn’t meet the minimum viewer threshold, so I
had to outsource the recaps to China.
But, I’m [...]
Oh, The Sing-Off …you know I love you, right? I mean, when you’re laying there at night and wondering why only a dozen or so people watch each week, just know half of your audience is over here at spunkybean and watching, reading, and discussing.

Dream Crossovers – Party Down, Greendale!
26 Jan 2012
You know what I’m starting to miss? Crossovers. Sure, NBC kind of drove them into the ground back in the “Must See TV” era, using them to try to trick people into watching things like The Single Guy. (“If Ross from Friends likes him, shouldn’t you?” was the unspoken rhetorical question.) It’s been a while [...]
