I leave in a mere 5 hours for sunny San Diego where I’ll probably see no sun or feel no summer loving as I’ll be spending all of my time inside the San Diego Convention Center with 200,000 of my closest geek friends.

COMIC-CON 2007 begins tomorrow and I’m there all weekend with GMMR and some other TV Bloggers for the biggest group of television panels a fan could dream of.

Want LOST scoop? Heroes Spoilers? Supernatural Hotties? Battlestar’s Final Season Spoiler? The dish on new shows like Pushing Daisies, Chuck, Bionic Woman, Reaper, Moonlight, Journeyman, and many more? Want a podcast chock full of these goodies? Well, keep checking back all weekend as I’ll try and post some updates each night.

Want to follow me all day, Thursday through Sunday while I try and get Lee Pace naked? Follow me on TWITTER! There’s also a Twitter panel on the right hand sidebar. Check back for updates throughout the day, all day, all weekend!

While I’m gone, please head on over to my new site… DUCKY DOES TV! I’m in the midst of moving all posts there so that will be Ducky’s new home very very very soon! Let me know what you think. I love the new layout and I’m still working on all the content so bear with me.

May the force be with you or something dorky like that!

As you’ve maybe heard me mention in one or two posts, I’m taking my first trip to San Diego’s COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL in two weeks.

Comic-Con has moved beyond the manga lovin’, furry wearing, swoard bearing, trekkies you’re thinking about right now. It’s more than a comic book convention. It’s a sci-fi convention as well. That doesn’t make it sound any less geek central does it? It’s turning into a Sci-Fi/Horror/Fantasy Film and TV Convention as well. Sound better? I thought so.

As you know, I’m one of the people that runs The Independent Film Festival of Boston (shout out Nancy, Brian, and Christine who regularly read the blog and are my cohorts) and obviously you know I’m a big TV geek. The chance to see panel discussions, meet creators of film and tv shows I love, see sneak previews of films and tv shows I love is just too big. I must go!

GMMR and I are shacking up in San Diego for the week and we’ll be meeting up with Rae, The TV Addict, Seat42f and many other tv bloggers (as well as 250,000 of our closest and scariest friends) to cover all things fall tv! We’re also hoping to do a huge TV Bloggers Podcast or two!

What shows are gonna be there? The list is big and here are the ones I plan on attending in some capacity.

TORCHWOOD (BBC America’s spin-off of Doctor Who)
LOST
REAPER
MOONLIGHT
24
CHUCK
PUSHING DAISIES
BIONIC WOMAN
TVGuide’s Hot List and Super Women
HEROES
KYLE XY
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
SUPERNATURAL
SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES
SARAH SILVERMAN PROJECT
BUFFY’s 10th Anniversary
TIN MAN
The 4400
JERICHO

Granted some of these panels overlap so there will be a few that get missed but TV wise, this is my dream list. There are also a number of film events that I want to attend.

Paramount Studios Presentation, Lionsgate Presentation, FANBOYS (with Kristin Bell), Warner Bros Films, 20th Century Fox, Shoot Em Up, Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN!!!!!, Rogue/Focus films, The Incredible Hulk with Ed Norton and many more.

Kinda crazy, huh?

Are any of you guys going? What do you want me to find out or meet or see while I’m there? Let me know.

I was at GMMR’s all night watching the show and podcasting then podcasting again because we had a pretty major technical difficulty and I didn’t get home until well into the hours of Thursday.

That being said, I have watched last night’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and will be working on a recap as best I can throughout the morning. Stay Tuned…

So You Think You Can… Predict who’s going home on this show each week? Hardly. Last night’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE results show was yet another shocker of a night for the dancers and for the audience. The contestant that just won’t go away is still kicking around and Mary Murphy’s jovial screams were probably sent into a pillow last night instead of into the audience.

As you’ve probably guessed by now, Cedric Gardner did not go home after the insistence from Mary Murphy and Nigel that he must. I knew this would happen. I knew that the way Mary and Nigel treated Cedric on Wednesday night would cause more people to vote for him out of sympathy and not. Oh you could just see Mary seething sitting there on her stoop. Suck on that Mary Murphy! Cedric Gardner is still on the Hot Tamale Train and he ain’t getting off anytime soon. Shauna girl, you deserved to stay as well, you worked that Mia routine like noone’s business.

Jessi was there in attendance and she looked great during both the opening number and when they allowed her to dance the routine she should have danced the night before with Pasha. Let me tell you, girl wiggled and writhed like a horny latin stripper! The routine had a different feel but hands down it was wonderful to watch. Regardless, she’s dancing for her life.

So who went home already, geesh…

(more…)

So You Think You Can Dance Week 3 started off with one hell of a bang! Not only did we get the best guest judge the shows ever had, we quite possibly got the best guest on any reality show, period! A dancer has an irregular heart and was replaced by an insane person. Nigel rips a dancer a new one and asks Cat to sit on his face. All this and more coming up on So You Think You Can Dance.

The Top 16 performed last night and the two hours hurled by like a whirlwind and I’m still left numb from all the awesomeness.

Guest Judge Debbie Allen (girl, you know I love me some FAME and beside all the gifts you brought to the show last night you also reminded these kids that Fame does cost and that up there on that stage is where they start payin’… in SWEAT!) is the shit! Never has there been nor will there ever be a Judge on SYTYCD like Ms. Debbie Allen.

She’s funny, professional, emotional, fierce, uplifting, generous, articulate, and honestly could there be someone who knows more about dance? Doubtful. The woman worked it out and the only thing missing from her performance was a guest spot from Felicia Rishad and some lip syncin’ Huxtables.

Before the dancing began, Mary told us that her favorite dancer is Dominic (and seriously he’s slowly becoming mine as well) and she gushed so much about him that I swear she’s got a blue dress and a beret somewhere in her closet. Nigel said he was very pleased with the show up to this point and loves the online chatter, even the person that called him “The ugly old guy with the dentures and the cat on his head.” when trying to correct the person he basically sexually harassed Cat. “And you’ve not been on my head Cat…” Oh no he didn’t!!!

On with the show!

The Office is an amazing show and as much as I love and worship it, I’m not nearly as Office obsessed as my girl Kathie from GiveMeMyRemote.com.  She was lucky enough this week to go into Office overload and here’s why.

On Tuesday she spent the whole day on the set of The Office, hanging with Greg Daniels, John Krasinski, Jenna, Rainn, Angela, and Steve.  Yeah, she’s on first names basis now.  To read her amazing report on the visit, click here.  Part two is still to come.

Last night, she went to the Paley Festival panel with the cast, crew, and creators of The Office and had an amazing time.  Please click here to read all about the celebutante’s Paley experience.

So my girl Kath over at GMMR spent yesterday on the set of The Office. She met EVERYONE! It’s amazing. I got up to the minute phone reports, texts, and even got to hear some of them on the phone!

Head on over to GMMR to read all about it. Right now there is only a teaser up but the big recap of the Office visit with GMMR and OfficeTally will be up soon.

A MUST SEE!
