Save The Sing-off!

May 15th 2012 19:58

Alright guys, we did it with Chuck, now it's time to rally again against another good NBC show being canceled! If you know me, you know I'm an almost strictly non-reality show TV fan. Maybe it's just my film and theatre background, maybe I just know how hard it is to write and produce a good scripted story every week, but when it comes to "reality" I stick pretty much to Destination Truth and whatever you find on The Discovery, History, or cooking channels. Should I hit my head and suddenly feel the need to watch a bunch of teen moms and wanna be model/singers scream at the world, eating weird food while stabbing each other in the back in some exotic locale over a flower, well I'll just go step outside. Anyway, I digress.

I only list the above to show you how very rare it is for me to get caught up in any sort of competitive reality tv show. As of today there is only one singing competition that I have or probably ever will watch, and that is the a cappella greatness that is The Sing-off.

If you've never seen The Sing-off, well you've been missing out. Like Glee? Well, you'll love The Sing-off! With Ben Folds, Shawn Stockman (Boyz II Men) and Sara Bareilles, in the judging seats, you know the quality of musicianship you're about to hear is top notch. This is one of the very few shows where 1. It really is about raw talent. (When you're relying on nothing but your voice to make the music, you better know what you're doing!), 2. It's family friendly, and 3. The judges are actually nice, hilarious musical geniuses you just want to hang out with after the weekly hour is up.

I could go on and on and try to convince you how great the show is, but I think I'll just let you see for yourself:

Pentatonix

Committed

Ben Folds a capella Sing-a-long

And more!

So if you enjoyed any of the above and are a fan of a capella music, or just the arts in general, #SaveTheSingOff over on Twitter and let it be known that (as much as it may seem these days), we are NOT a shallow group of TV watchers!

Supernatural: (7x21) Reading is Fundamental

May 12th 2012 04:03

Meg calls Dean and Sam and tells them Castiel is awake and talking. Meanwhile, a teenager named Kevin gets hit by a bolt of lightening and is turned into a reluctant prophet. Sam and Dean believe Kevin holds the key to defeating the Leviathans but must fight off two Archangels who want him for their own purposes. - CW

Dean: That’s a lot of fuss over a caveman Lego.

~*~*~

Dean: Hey, Cas.

Castiel: Hello Dean. And Sam.

Sam: Hey, Castiel.

Dean: Well look at you, walkin' and talkin', that's...that's great, right?

Castiel: Pull my finger.

Dean: What?

Castiel: My finger. Pull it.

~*~*~

Castiel: Will you look at her. My caretaker, all that thorny pain, so beautiful.

~*~*~

Meg: He’s been like the naked guy at the rave ever since he woke up. Totally useless.

~*~*~

Castiel: If someone was going to free The Word from the vault of the earth, it would be you two. Oh I love you guys.

~*~*~

Castiel: Outside today, in the garden, I followed a honeybee. I saw the route of flowers. It’s all right there, the whole plan. There’s nothing to add.

~*~*~

Castiel: This is the handwriting of Metatron.

Sam: Megatron? You're saying a Transformer wrote that?

Dean: No, that’s Megatron.

~*~*~

Castiel: Tree. Horse. Fiddler crab. I can’t read it, it wasn’t meant for angels.

~*~*~

Dean: Sam, will you please pick up the Word of God?

Sam: Yeah.

~*~*~

Kevin: I'm sorry! I don't know why, I--I can't let go of it.

~*~*~

Dean: You realize you just *broke* God's Word?

~*~*~

Dean: So Big Daddy Chomper lands here, he grabs himself some Dick.

~*~*~

Dean: Do you remember what you did?

*Castiel picks up the game "Sorry" and shows it to him. With a shake, it's set up on the table to play.*

Castiel: Do you want to go first?

~*~*~

Castiel: You know we weren't sure at first which monkey's were going to make it. No offense, but I was backing the Neanderthals because their poetry was just amazing. It’s in perfect tune with the spheres. But in the end it was you, the Homo Sapien Sapiens. You guys ate the apple, invented pants.

~*~*~

Castiel: I'm sorry, I think you have to go back to start.

~*~*~

Castiel: We live in a sorry universe. It's engineered to create conflict.

~*~*~

Meg: I’ll work on him a little. Maybe he’ll start crushing on you too, hot stuff.

~*~*~

Kevin: What's happening? WHAT'S HAPPENING?!

Dean: What is that?

Sam: It's uh, Kevin Tran. He's uh, advanced placement.

~*~*~

Dean: You're saying there's some sort of "How to Punch Dick" recipe in there?

~*~*~

TV Announcer Voice: It's like a salad bar, but with PIE!

~*~*~

Dean: Great, so now we're kidnappers?

~*~*~

Castiel: I'm in a place called Perth.

~*~*~

Castiel: I'm surrounded by large unhappy dogs.

~*~*~

Castiel: Meg, are you hurt?

Meg: Shut up.

~*~*~

Castiel: You know, those racing dogs were absolutely miserable. They can only think in ovals.

~*~*~

Kevin: I can't live in the desert, I'm applying to Princeton!

~*~*~

Castiel: I don't fight anymore. I watch the bees.

~*~*~

Castiel: You seem troubled. Of course, that's a primary aspect of your personality, so I usually ignore it.

~*~*~

Castiel: Now I more see...everything.

~*~*~

Castiel: (to Sam) I was lost...Until I took on your pain.

~*~*~

Sam: We're gonna help you get better, okay? No matter what it takes.

~*~*~

Kevin: I'm just a kid from Michigan, I didn't want to be a Word Keeper!

~*~*~

Kevin: I’m not prepared to factor the supernatural into my worldview.

~*~*~

Dean: I don't know man, what can I say? You've been chosen. And it sucks. Believe me. There's no use asking, 'why me?' 'cuz the angels, they don't care. I think they just don't have the equipment to care. It just seems like when they try it just...breaks them apart.

Kevin: I just want to be the first Asian-American President of the United States.

~*~*~

Meg: I've got Castiel.

~*~*~

Dean: Crowley ain't the problem this year.

Meg: When are you gonna get it? Crowley’s always the problem, he’s just waiting for the right time to strike.

~*~*~

Meg: What? Someone had to.

~*~*~

Sam: It says we need to start with the blood of a fallen angel.

Castiel: Well, you know me. Always happy to bleed for the Winchesters.

Dean: What are you gonna do, Cas?

Castiel: I don't know. Isn't that amazing?

~*~*~

Leviathan: Rock beats scissors. Leviathan beats angel.
