Put on your Boogie shoes because NBC has a new dancing competition debuting tonight at 10p. Dancing with Myself has 12 amateur dancers competing to be the best dancer of the night.
The show was created by Shakira, and she is joined at the judges’ table by Nick Jonas and Liza Koshy. However, most of the judging is done by the studio audience.
How? Each of the contestants is in their own pod, and they cannot see what the other one is doing. For the first round, they are given a dance to do by Shakira, and they have to impress the studio audience and the judges. When all 12 of them have danced, it is time for the audience to vote on their favorites. When their vote is submitted, then the judges can save some of the eliminated contestants to move on to the next round.
These contestants range from high school age to their 50s. They are flight attendants, professional swimmers, and plus-size models. They are just like us who are watching from home.
One-by-one they compete in five other dance battles, which include a freestyle dance battle, a dance choreographed by a celebrity, one with a surprise element, and finally, one that they created by themselves. At the end of the night, only one person brings home the $25,000. Not bad for a day’s worth of dancing.
When it comes to the viewers at home, be prepared for one of the fastest-paced shows you have ever seen. Seriously, it moved so fast, I had to watch it a second time because I had no idea what just happened. They jam-packed a two-hour show into one, and it is amazing. You won’t be bored because you don’t have time to be.
This show is not about the judges, it is about the dancing, and that is just the way I like it.
NBC announced its Fall schedule, and it looks a lot like last year’s with a few changes.
I am curious how La Brea is going to do because I thought it was the most disappointing pilots I have ever seen. While that was me, people still watched. When it comes to the rest, there is not much to say. Thus, why I am not saying much.
The Upfronts start on Monday, so the bubble shows are learning their fate this week. Today, NBC handed out the last of its renewals and cancellations.
The network renewed American Auto, Grand Crew, and Young Rock, and they cancelled Kenan, Mr. Mayor, and The Endgame.
I don’t get it. I didn’t think that American Auto or Grand Crew are watchable, and I love comedies.
I think they would’ve been better off cancelling all of their comedies, except Young Rock, and starting over. Next season, they will be adding a George Lopez sitcom and a sequel to Night Court to their schedule. We shall see if they can bring the funny back.
From 1989 to 1993, Dr. Samuel Beckett traveled through time to help people. However, for the last 30 years, he has been lost in time, and no one knows where he is or when.
NBC has decided it is time to find him, so they are sending Dr. Ben Seong (Raymond Lee) to find him. Seong and a new team have been assembled to restart the project in the hopes of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it.
What will they find out? We will have to tune in the fall to find out.
Part of me is excited for this because I loved the original series, and I can’t wait to see what they do with the new Quantum Leap. Then, the other part of me is scared that they will completely destroy the original’s legacy.
Peacock picked up the dating competition series The Courtship, which is The Bachelor but set in the olden days. NBC liked the idea so much they stole it from their streaming service. Unfortunately, what they thought was a good idea turned out to be a bad one.
So much so the show was only seen by 500,000 viewers after its second airing. Therefore, NBC broke up with her and sent her to date their lesser cousin USA Network, according to Deadline.
Starting tonight, she will air on USA Network at 11p after Temptation Island, which USA Network stole from CBS. So basically tonight, USA Network is airing two rejected shows.
And what is even sadder is that Peacock has to air the rejected shows the next day. Peacock might look like a pretty Peacock, but she is the ugly duckling. Poor Peacock.
