Grease: You’re the One That I Want -- Dance Fever
Grease: You're the One That I Want
Title: Episode 4
First Aired: 1/28/07
It was a night of second chances for Ashley Anderson -- the "Emotional Sandy” -- and jock-dude Matt Nolan. The duo were welcomed back into the fold, thanks to overwhelming viewer response. The judges conceded that, though both kids are still diamonds in the rough, they each have definite potential.
For the majority of the expanded episode, the 12-turned-14 hopefuls take to the big Grease stage to perform, two at a whack. During an interlude, Hard-Assed Judge Jim Jacobs -- who was particularly vicious during the series’ cattle call episodes -- hosts the seven Sandys in a once-in-a-lifetime, one-on-one with Olivia Newton-John, the original movie Sandy.

MeeVee Exclusive! On-Set Visit with The Class
While attending the TCA Press Tour, I was given the opportunity to visit the set of The Class for a live episode run-thru. In a shrewd move, CBS and Warner Brothers decided to webcast the event, as well as a script reading the previous Monday. My experience was both entertaining and educational. I've been to a live taping before, but this was completely different. Here's my story.

WWE: New Blood
The appearance of less familiar characters always breathes new life into the world of wrestling. Vladimir Kozlov and the Great Khali are just getting in on the action (or returning to action in the case of Khali, who's recovering from surgery). Kozlov is a bewildering attempt to resurrect the Evil Russian, while Khali is designed to play on our collective fear of really, really big guys.
Both Kozlov and Khali have done their time in the Deep South wrestling league, both have appeared in movies (The Longest Yard and 25th Hour, respectively), but only one of them has killed another wrestler in the ring.
Totally Frakked: Battlestar Galactica -- Four-Play
Battlestar Galactica
Title: “Taking a Break From All Your Worries”
First Aired: 1/28/07
The capture of Greasebaltar on Algae World allowed The Powers That Be at Battlestar Galactica to draw even more parallel lines to our present, post-911 Earth. It also made it possible for Edward James Olmos to don his director’s cap and conjure some of the gutsiest performances of the season from his fellow thespians.
As the Colonials hunger for revenge against the instrument of the human race’s destruction, there’s a haunting undercurrent that reminds us of the importance of listening to our better angels. The result is an episode that is as beautiful as it is ugly. The Sci Fi Channel should hire Admiral Adama’s alter-ego to direct more often!

SAG Awards Honor Actual Talent: What a Concept!
If only all awards shows were like the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Last night’s winners truly embodied the old saying, “May the best (wo)man win.” Emmys, Golden Globes, People’s Choice: Pay attention and take notes here.
America Ferrera continued her wonderful assault on the best actress/comedy awards. Ferrera scored another statuette for her role in Ugly Betty, right on the heels of her Golden Globe victory. She simply cannot be stopped. Speaking of which, Helen Mirren and Jeremy Irons appear unstoppable in the TV movie/mini-series category, bringing home the bacon for their roles in Elizabeth I.
