Variety reports that last night Fox dominated the ratings with “So You Think You Can Dance”. It’s not that this is an achievement for Fox, considering what a copycat and sub-par program “So You Think You Can Dance” is – just look at what it’s up against: “Baby Borrowers” and reruns. A halfway decent idea on several nights of the week would trounce the dreck that is dished up on network TV. TV is losing viewership year over year? How can it not? Get ready for another dose of “So You Think You Can Dance” tonight. Thank goodness for Shark Week. How about “So You Think You Can Dance Your Way Out of This Shark Infested Pool?”
