Dancing with the Stars: Week 2 Performances

After a smashing season premiere, our Season 12 stars took to the ballroom for another round of performances before the ballroom renders its first cruel judgment of the year. Tonight they dance; tomorrow one couple is sent packing. So which of our stars shone the brightest?

Sugar Ray and Anna
Dance: Jive
Verdict: I think Sugar Ray is more of a classical ballroom guy, because while he looked like he was having fun – it was Your Uncle at a Wedding Fun, not Dancing with the Stars Fun. His feet weren’t pointed, he lost the timing in places … it needed to be a lot better.
Carrie Ann: “You’re such a fantastic showman.” – 6
Len: “I think you’re in jeopardy.” – 5
Bruno: “It needs more punch – in the feet.” – 6

Kendra and Louis
Dance: Quickstep
Verdict: Kendra had her first rehearsal cry for the season, but the dance turned out okay. It wasn’t quite as graceful or refined as it could have been, but Louis got her through it.
Carrie Ann: “I saw more that just the choreography […] Elegance is a state of mind.” – 7
Len: “Overall, I thought you did an excellent job.” – 6
Bruno: “You tried your best, but you were very, very tight.” -6

Jesse Tyler Ferguson of ABC’s Modern Family on Toy Story Midway Mania

I noted on Twitter Friday that actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson was having fun at Universal Orlando which seemed odd given that he’s one of the stars of ABC television’s hit series “Modern Family.” Shouldn’t he have some brand loyalty? Many answered my query with the… Read More »Jesse Tyler Ferguson of ABC’s Modern Family on Toy Story Midway Mania

Catching up with ABC’s Modern Family

Ed: I’d like to welcome guest author Adam Britten who reviews the most recent episode of ABC’s hit show Modern Family:

Every time that Modern Family takes a few weeks off, I feel like I’m missing something. The family was back this week, and they were back with another bang. One of the best parts of this episode is that it brought out a lot of previously unseen character pairings that were very pleasant. Nathan Lane returns to add some flair to Boys’ Night, delivering the kind of quality I’ve grown to expect from the series.

Mitchell and Cameron are going out for an evening with their friends, and Haley offers to babysit Lily. She’s bored because she’s grounded. While the guys are out, Cameron calls Haley because he’s seen a guy walk through the living room. (He saw it on his phone, but through the open laptop on the counter. I love how Modern Family throws in tech-inspired things like that.) Of course, it’s Dylan. Haley throws a fit saying that Cameron was accusing her of something, and she makes Dylan leave. But he leaves behind his shoes. Busted.

Judge to Disney: Pay up $319 Million for Millionaire lawsuit

This was seen as the biggest court statement against “Hollywood Accounting” that is famous for properties that rake… Read More »Judge to Disney: Pay up $319 Million for Millionaire lawsuit

No Ordinary Family 1-9: No Ordinary Anniversary

For the first time, we had two A stories in tonight’s episode, with just a little bit thrown in related to the ongoing story of the season. Both were rather predictable, but they were better than last week’s.

Jim and Stephanie are celebrating their 18th anniversary just as a serial arsonist hits town. Read More »No Ordinary Family 1-9: No Ordinary Anniversary
