Led by the british co-creator of American Idol, Nigal Lithgoe, this dance show contest is much more entertaining than the singing version. The first few weeks of 'So You Think You Can Dance' (which airs twice a week) consists of auditions and is often the most interesting portion of the season. And not usually because of the freaks that try-out, as is the attraction for its sister show.

I've gotten so attached to the cast at times that each season it is more difficult to get involved for missing the ones I loved the previous year. The judges are usually on point and rarely cruel, although Mary Murphy's rediculous screams and laughter can be way too much. And Mia Michaels, an interesting an inspiring free-style choreographer in the first season, has seemed to progressively loose her marbles over the last few seasons, both as a judge stating complete nonsence and as a choreographer--though she sometimes still manages to produce a fantastic routine.

The talent of the dancers really carries the show.
