Switched at Birth: What If?

Tonight’s episode of Switched at Birth was the most dramatic one yet. There was an interesting game played on the show tonight, a game of “What If”. What if Regina had told the hospital about the switch instead of keep it to herself for 13 years? The answers to that question were revealed tonight. Answers  that surprised […]

SYTYCD10: Top 18 Performance Show – Starts With A Bang

When I found out about the change of format for the results this season, I was hesitant to pass judgment. Generally, whoever calls the shots on “changes” to the SYTYCD format has been smart than changes to other reality show formats (like Idol). Often, the results (like adding the All-Stars back in Season 7) have improved […]

Switched At Birth: Mounting Tension Comes Spilling Over

It seems that not all is right on Switched at Birth. No, it does not seem to be the fact that you had two teenage girls that were ‘switched at birth’ when they were only nine hours old. No, it does not seem to be  that there are too many people living under the same […]

SYTYCD10: Top 20 Performance Show – 20/20 Vision

The interesting part of tonight’s show is that, in many ways, the audience starts off like the dancers in one of the routines we saw tonight: blindfolded and waiting for the couples, and the judges true intentions, to be revealed. Tonight is when we see which fan favourites were paired with dancers we previously thought […]

Forging Steel with Humanity: Superman Reborn in “Man of Steel”

What does it mean to be human? Obviously science alone cannot be relied upon to provide all the answers when describing the depth of such meaning and accuracy because it’s not only about biology or physical makeup; it envelopes the entire cosmic being and its soul. It’s also a fundamental question regarding our existence that […]

In this third episode of the summer season of Switched at Birth, we see reality set in for both the Kennish and Vasquez families.

SYTYCD Season 10: Ten is the New Twenty

If you read my American Idol series over the last few months (or even if you didn’t), then I’m glad to have you back again because So You Think You Can Dance might be an even bigger reality TV passion of mine. I’m not a dancer by any means. My sister is, but I’ve watched […]

Switched at Birth: Connection Points with The Biological Families

There is an interesting development occurring on this season of Switched at Birth. This is a development I hinted about last week on my recap of the season premiere…a switching of sides on the show. Not to rehash what I discussed last week, but this switching sides seems to be deeper than I initially thought. There seems […]
