Welcome to the “So You Think You Can Dance” portion of the TV blog. I’m Yvette Walker, and I’ll be your host as we discuss the best realityshow on TV (IMHO). Tonight, I’ll live-blog the results show. Stay tuned!

We’ll have news and updates, along with a weekly podcast on Fridays.  Last night’s first top 20 show ranked well in the ratings.  It will be the summer show to beat, says Media Life Magazine.

Last night, I tweeted during the show. Here’s what I said (each less than 140 characters):

• 1st couple. Phillip and jeanine. Freaking amazing dance by Tabitha and Napoleon.
• Randi&Evan. So cute and great routine
• Paris and Tony. I thought Paris was great. Tony was a little weak
• Bollywood! I love Bollywood. Caitlin and Jason were good. C was weaker though. Hai Jo!
• Janette and Brandon. I know why mia and Lil C don’t like Brandon cuz he’s cocky. But those lifts were incredible.
• Wade. Weird but fun choreography. Kupono and Ashley were so fluid.
• Very nice contemp dance. Moving. Adam cried. Mary screamed. Nigel?
• Ade more appealing than Brandon
  
• Woooooooooo! Kayla! I’m going to rewind that one. One hot number.  Great way to end the evening.

Also follow out these twitter feeds — dizzyfeet and sytycdism — for more tidbits about the show.

The Oklahoman’s

P: Hi, I’m Penny Soldan, this is Heather Warlick and this is TV Talk, The Oklahoman’s final Top 10 countdown of programs worth watching. And these are our picks for the week of Feb. 15.
H: Since this is our last TV Talk video, and we’ll talk more about that later, let’s start it off with a reunion. Or rather “High School Reunion,” our No. 10 pick. The TV Land reality show premieres at 9 p.m. Wednesday and follows 19 classmates from the 1988 graduating class of Arizona’s Chandler High School at a special reunion in Hawaii.
P: Chad Ramirez, who is the head rodeo coach at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, is among the “High School Reunion” classmates. But he considers Oklahoma home now.
H: No. 9 is “Spectacular!”, a new Nickelodeon movie premiering at 7 p.m. Monday. This new TV movie for tweens focuses on a talented teen rebel who is on an unpredictable road to rock stardom. Penny tells me that the soundtrack, which features 10 original songs, is in itself spectacular.
P: If you’re like Heather and love awards shows, be sure and catch our No. 8 pick. It’s the 2009 Film Independent’s Spirit Awards airing uncut, uncensored and commercial free at 4 p.m. Saturday on IFC. Steve Coogan from “Tropic Thunder” hosts this year’s ceremony which will be edited and rebroadcast at 9 p.m. Saturday on AMC.
H: No. 7 is “Mistresses,” a new British series airing at 7 p.m. Friday on BBC America. It chronicles the adventures of four 30-something friends with one thing in common — infidelity. And it stars four of Britain’s leading actresses  —  Sarah Parish, Sharon Small, Orla Brady and Shelley Conn.
P: OK, maybe Heather doesn’t like awards shows as much as me. But No. 6 is a topic I know interests her. It is “Stealing Lincoln’s Body” premering at 8 p.m. Monday on History. This new special explores the final chapter of the 16th president, who was assassinated in 1865 but did not come to rest in his hometown of Springfield, Ill., until 1901.
H: No. 5 are five guest stars making appearance on five primetime shows. Monday morning, it’s Marcia Wallace from “The Bob Newhart Show” on “The Young and the Restless” at 11 a.m. on CBS. And Monday evening, its Rob Reiner from “All in the Family” on “Hannah Montana” at 6:30 p.m. on Disney.
P: Then on Wednesday, see chef Emeril Lagasse on “Top Chef” at 9 p.m. on Bravo. And Thursday, look for Danny Glover from “Lethal Weapon” on NBC’s “My Name Is Earl” at 7 p.m. and Faye Dunaway from “Network” on ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” at 8 p.m.
H: No. 4 is “American Idol” which airs at 7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday on Fox. For the next three Tuesdays, 12 different semifinalists will perform. And be sure and watch for Matt Breitzke from Bixby who is among the Top 32 semifinalists.
P: And vote for Matt if you enjoy his singing. Because during Wedneday’s live results shows, the three contestants with the highest number of votes — one male, one female and the next top vote-getter, will secure spots in the Top 12.
H: No. 3 is Conan O’Brien’s final show as host of NBC’s “Late Night.” He signs off after Friday’s telecast, but he will take over “The Tonight Show” hosting duties on June 1. And Jimmy Fallon will take over the reins as “Late Night” host on March 2.
P: And taking over the No. 2 spot on our list is “Taking Chance.” It is a very touching fact-based drama starring Kevin Bacon as a volunteer military escort who accompanies the body of Chance Phelps, a 19-year-old lance corporal killed in Iraq, home to Wyoming. Be sure and watch it with a box of tissue at 7 p.m. Saturday on HBO.
H: And No. 1, if you don’t count the OU men’s basketball game against Texas at 8 p.m. Saturday on ESPN, is “The Amazing Race.” And Christie Volkmer from Choctaw is Oklahoma’s first contender for the six-time Emmy Award-winning reality-competition program that begins Season 14 at 7 p.m. Sunday on CBS.
P: Christie and teammate Jodi Wincheski from Houston make up one of 11 teams that will travel one of the most grueling courses ever assembled on the race – spanning 40,000 miles and nine countries in just 22 days.
H: And that’s a wrap for TV Talk. The Oklahoman will debut a new TV video next week in which Penny will narrow the must-see programs from 10 to three. But as always, readers can consult TV Week in Sunday’s Oklahoman or go online to newsok.com/tv for even more TV choices.
P: Thanks, Heather, for your help in making a year’s worth of TV Talk videos that are still entertaining to watch. And to everyone out there watching, thanks for your time.

P: Hi, I’m Penny Soldan, this is Heather Warlick and this is TV Talk, The Oklahoman’s weekly countdown of the Top 10 programs worth watching — or at least setting the DVR or VCR for. And these are our picks for the week of Feb. 8.
H: No. 10 is a new series debuting on a new network. The new network is Disney XD, which launches Friday in place of Toon Disney. And the new series premiering at 6 p.m. Friday is “Aaron Stone” which follows a teenager who is enlisted to become a real life version of a crime fighting online game character.
P: No. 9 are four new shows premiering Sunday on MTV. One is “The CollegeHumor Show” that provides an offbeat look into the company that creates some of today’s most popular Internet comedy. It airs at 8:30 p.m., along with “Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory,” at 8 p.m., “Nitro Circus” 9 p.m. and “How’s Your News?” at 9:30 p.m.
H: Want more MTV? No. 8 are two more MTV shows. They are “The Girls of Hedsor Hall” at 8 p.m. Monday and “T.I.’s Road to Redemption,” at 8 p.m. Tuesday. One chronicles the Grammy winning rappers year on probation before serving jail time while the other follows 12 of America’s rowdiest girls who were sent to prim-and-proper England for a complete transformation.
P: No. 7 is the new Hallmark Channel movie “Before You Say I Do” premiering at 8 p.m. Saturday.  In this film starring David Sutcliffe and Jennifer Westfeldt, A desperate man’s wish sends him back 10 years to rework history in order to ensure his future with the woman he wants to marry.
H: The 133rd annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is No. 6. On Monday, catch live coverage from 7 to 8 p.m. on USA Network and from 8 to 10 p.m. on CNBC. And Tuesday’s coverage, which includes the best in show competition, will air live from 7 to 10 p.m. on USA.
P: No. 5 are five guest stars making appearance on five primetime shows. On Monday, it’s Sean P. Diddy Combs from “Making the Band” on “CSI: Miami” at 9 p.m. on CBS. On Tuesday, it’s Brent Spiner who was Data “Star Trek: The Next Generation” on “Leverage” at 9 p.m. on TNT.
H: Then on Wednesday, see Julia Ormond from “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” on “CSI: NY” at 9 p.m. on CBS. Thursday’s guest star is gossip columnist Liz Smith on “Ugly Betty” at 7 p.m. on ABC. And Friday, it’s Justine Bateman from “Family Ties” on “Psych” at 9 p.m. on USA.
P: The British Academy Film Awards airing 7 p.m. Sunday on BBC America come in at No. 4. And two Oklahoma-born celebrities are up for awards.
H: Brad Pitt, born in Shawnee, is nominated for lead actor for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and supprting actor for “Burn After Reading.”  And Ron Howard, born in Duncan, received a best director nomination for his film “Frost/Nixon.”
P: Want more awards shows? No. 3 is The 51st Annual Grammy Awards airing live at 7 p.m. Sunday on CBS. Grammy nominees with Oklahoma ties include Trisha Yearwood, Carrie Underwood, Vince Gill, Brooks & Dunn, Rascal Flatts, Kings of Leon, MercyMe, Elvin Bishop and Tom Paxton.
H: No. 2 is “Survivor: Tocantins” at 7 p.m. Thursday on CBS. Left stranded in the wilds of Brazil for 39 days, the Season 18 castaways will battle scorching temperatures, torrential downpours and dangerous wildlife in an effort to outwit, outplay and outlast one another in order to win $1 million.   
P: And No. 1, if you don’t count the OU vs. OSU women’s basketball game at 12:30 p.m. Sunday on Fox Sports Oklahoma, is “Dollhouse.”
H: This new series premiering at 8:01 p.m. Friday on Fox follows a group of secret operatives called ‘‘Actives” whose personalities are wiped clean after each mission. Then they get a new set for the next job.
P: “Dollhouse” was created, written, executive produced and directed by Joss Whedon, who also created “Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And the series stars “Buffy” alumn Eliza Dushku as the primary “Active.”
H: That’s a wrap for this week. For even more TV choices, consult TV Week in Sunday’s Oklahoman or go online to newsok.com/tv. For TV Talk, I’m Heather, this is Penny, thanks for your time.
