    They have taken what has been a generally great Summer viewing experience and ruined it by changing the audition guidelines and judges to the point that the show is no longer what it was when viewers enjoyed it the most. Complete disaster this season, first episode rendered unwatchable.

    Really bad, I mean it is real bad. It is bad because it lacks a lot of judging, I man the judges don't care how their routine is or how there skills is at dancing. They just shout to the dancers and say GREAT,BEST ONE,or AMAZING.

    The talent is astounding. The choreography is original and brilliant. This is the best dance show on TV, and has uncovered superstars that have gone on to dance for Beyonce and Lady Gaga as well as major Broadway shows. This program has deservedly won Emmys. I LOVE IT

    Though the voice-over narration could have been more informative, the biggest drawback in the first two episodes was producer Nigel Lythgoe functioning as the Donald Trump of dance by firing dancers right and left. [30 Jul 2005]

    The show had all of the potential of "Idol," but Fox blew it by forgetting these words of wisdom: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. [15 Aug 2005]

    Easily takes the crown as the current Worst Show on Television. ... Like 'American Idol,' 'SYTYCD' is self-important, flashy and deeply stupid.
