SNL Highlight: "The Roosevelts" will shock you


With all the hoopla around Reelz Channel's The Kennedys, I'm so glad they did a sketch about it. Sadly, I feel like The Roosevelts could one day exist. Maybe not as extreme as having a black Teddy Roosevelt, but one that hints at Eleanor having a lesbian affair and controlling the presidency through extreme measures? We could see that within a few years if The Kennedy's ratings are good enough.
Watch the video after the break.

SNL Highlight: Helen Mirren's Magical Bosom


One of the more absurd sketches of the night, I just couldn't stop laughing at all the random images and sequences they had playing in Nasim's mind as she touched Helen Mirren. Topped off with David Grohl's appearance, this was one of my favorites of the night.

The Vampire Diaries: Season 2 Episode 17 Recap

FINALLY this show is back! Last we saw Mystic Falls, Klaus was coming after Elena, Caroline told Matt the truth, and Isabelle came to see her daughter!

This week was full of double crosses on all sides of the line of good and evil. Moms were betraying daughters and friends were keeping secrets left and right!  Instead of doing a typical run through of the episode, let's go through the betrayals!

America's Best Dance Crew Season 6: Lil' Wayne Challenge

This show is FINALLY back after a very long hiatus!!

They wasted no time this season with try-outs or getting to know the crews, it just opened straight into a brief recap of the show's previous winners (to the tune of "Written in the Stars" by Tinie Tempah) and then a sweet opening group number set to Lil' Wayne's "Six Foot Seven Foot."

This episode only features 5 of the 10 crews, but one crew will still be eliminated this week. We've got our regular judges, Lil Mama and JC Chasez, and now the third judge is Dominic Sandoval, from ABDC Season 3 winners QUEST and So You Think You Can Dance Season 3.

Crew: IaMmE
Lil Wayne Song: Ride Above It
Background: They focus on "The Brain Bang" which is doing moves that make you want to rewind it to get the moves and everything they're doing. You make recognize Philip Chbeeb from his time on So You Think You Can Dance Season 6, and if you follow him on twitter you've probably seen his videos with fellow crew member Marvelous Moon and Quest's Hok.
Routine: Overall they had a great routine that was full of intricate moves, and "rubik's cube" of tutting. All the judges were very impressed and thought it was a great opening to this season. JC only hopes they don't get stuck in that "brain bang" cluster in the middle and are open to trying new moves as the challenges change.
