What We're Watching: SYTYCD Top 8 Perform and West Wing "The Al Smith Dinner"

On SYTYCD, the top 8 performed, and performed, and performed: Five dances each, in solos, duos, and groups. We're tired just watching. Mentioned: To the Pointe with Kristyn Burtt and The Dance Room, both podcasts where you can hear from the eliminated contestants each week.

The West Wing's "The Al Smith Dinner" was a refreshing return to a rock-solid, political-procedural episode of the show. We also enjoyed the returns of Donna Moss and Will Bailey.

​Next week, we'll skip West Wing and discuss Evvie Drake Starts Over, the new novel from our podcast inspiration Linda Holmes.
