It was country music week on Dance War and since that's my favorite kind of music, I truly loved it!  The adorable Taylor Swift performed her song, "Our Song" and that was a nice bonus.  Once again I was rooting for Bruno's team but they had some pitch issues in Life is a Highway.  I did like the Boots Are Made for walking number, but my favorite was the opening number with the pool table and cues.  Did they say they only had one day to rehearse that number together?  Amazing.  Vote for Bruno because I adore him and Zach!

After the country it was time for Heavy Metal -- this week's episode of The Sarah Connor Chronicles.  First, I gotta laugh -- how many heroes go out on a mission with their mothers?  Then again, on Heroes they do it with their dads, so I guess it's the same thing.  I like the tension in this episode which was really very simple - track down and stop a Terminator from stockpiling the metal needed to create more Terminators in the future.  Cameron was not as robotic as last week and I'm really enjoying the scenes with Agent Ellison.  Those could be boring but I'm feeling this guy.  Mostly, I loved Thomas Dekker's performance in this one.  It would be easy to play him as some punk kid who isn't afraid of anything but he was so scared in the trunk and warehouse scenes - so disturbed by the killings he witnessed.  He had me holding my breath.  And we talk about the scene where he has to take the key off from around the Terminator's neck!  That scene there is why I hate wax museums.  Tell me they aren't going to move all you want, I'm still afraid they're going to when I least expect it! 

More I've Got a Secret and What's My Line last night with a guy who tried to hold his breath while underwater during the entire questioning session and a kid who can balance on one finger!  I wonder if he still can. . . someone needs to find that guy. . . maybe I should start DVRing these old game shows instead of staying up until four to watch them.  But then, they might not be as interesting if I watch them fully awake and with wide-open eyes.

On Dancing with the Stars, he's like a feisty pitbull (see picture) but on Dance War Bruno Tonioli is one hot tamale!  When he steps on to that stage every night, he's seduction in tight pants!  Never would I have imagined having a crush on a choreographer but this one is stealing my heart.

That's why I was so crushed to see his team his lose this week!  I think it was everyone showing sympathy for poor Chris whose mic went out during the show.  I know I've been down on this series, but tonight I actually enjoyed the show.  The dance numbers had that little something something -- but there's still lots of room for improvement.  Carrie Ann's team has the best overall singers, but Bruno's team has the showmanship.  Loved that "Think" number. 

Okay, I'm in for the long haul.  It will be interesting to see how the staging changes to suit uneven numbers of guys to girls and eventually teams of only 2 or 3.  What if one team keeps losing, ala Celebrity Apprentice?  Will Carrie Ann have to send one of her players over to the other side?  All good questions.

When it comes to my blogs this week, it was Supernatural mania.  I got my hands on some great spoiler clips from the upcoming episode and I can't wait!  Then I found the episode synopsis for Mystery Spot and it's going to be a doozy.  Four more new episodes to go -- after that, I may need a breather!  Oh, those Winchester Boys!

Tonight it was warring dancers, a record-breaking Eliminator and a totally "tight" Terminator.  Welcome to my Monday night. 

I started my night with Dance War on ABC and I'm so terribly disappointed. I adore dancing shows and I thought this one would be the best because the contestants have to sing as well.  But I was expecting wonderful production numbers like they did on Grease: You're the One That I Want.  What I'm getting are amateurish pop numbers with singers who can't stay in key.  And then there's the half-hour plus recap of the last two episodes.  Enough all ready!  I want to see these guys pull off a Broadway production number!  Please.

During the Dance War recaps (which were endless), I was able to switch over to NBC for more American Gladiators.  This is the one show on TV that my teenager comes down to watch with me and for that alone, I love it.  They've toned down some of the cheesy dialogue and mannerisms from the first episode.  The show also benefited from more Hulk Hogan and less Laila Ali.  Tonight's episode was particularly exciting with TWO gladiators going up in smoke during Assault and one contestant who beat the Eliminator with the fastest time ever.  Amazing.

From reality to fantasy - at 9:00 it was Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Fox.  I still love the show, but this episode, The Turk, was quite a slow down compared to the first two.  The scene was set for several new storylines and we got to see more of Agent Ellison and he's cool.  And what's with that funky painting on the wall at the high school.  On a second look, I realized it's a silhouette of a man and his bride about to kiss.  Or am I seeing things?

What's really bothering me about the show, though, is the sudden computerizing of Cameron.  In the pilot, she was able to function at the high school as a normal girl.  She fooled us and John.  Now, all of a sudden, she doesn't know how to enter a room, or sit down in class, and she can't phrase a normal sentence?  What happened?  Did her circuits get damaged when Mama Connor dropped her out that window last week?

I did, however, enjoy her remark about the eyeliner pencil.  "No, it's not brain surgery.  It's not sharp enough."  (or something like that.)

And John's evaluation of the school day.  "No one tried to kill me, she didn't kill anyone.  It was a good day."

Yes, indeedy.
