Note: After much pleading, Buzz let me go see this movie to review. Thanks, Buzz!
As a Boston area native, movies about the city usually fall within two distinct categories.

Fox's Fall Schedule: More Dance, More Dollhouse
Fox kicked off network Upfront week in New York this morning by announcing its Fall schedule, and here's a headline right off the bat: So You Think You Can Dance, Fox's summertime dance competition show, is getting a Fall edition as well.

Lost Episode 15, "Follow the Leader"
Wow, we're already just a week away from the fifth season finale of Lost. I feel like this season has flown by — and I've been pretty much satisfied with it. What about you?
American Idol Rundown: The Top 10 Mosey to Motown
Smokey Robinson stopped by American Idol this week to advise the 10 remaining contestants in the ways of Motown. The night included footage of a trip to Detroit, some weird stuff with Paula, Simon, and a magic marker, and a lot of fairly boring performances.

Lost Episode Eight: "LaFleur"
This just might be my favorite kind of Lost episode — all Sawyer, all the time. We get to find out what the heck went on on the island while the Oceanic Six were on the mainland, doing their respective things. So the story of Miles, Juliet, Faraday and Sawyer continues and we meet a few more Dharma Initiative people (Dharmites?
Grey's Anatomy Rundown: Episode 16, "An Honest Mistake"
On this week's Grey's Anatomy, fallout continues from Derek's surgical mistake a couple of weeks back. It was, as the episode title says, an honest mistake, but when surgeons make mistakes, they hold people's lives in their hands. This episode got pretty intense at times; are you ready to talk about it?
