Lamest Critique: The Wall Street Journal write that MODERN FAMILY star Jesse Tyler Ferguson wasn’t qualified to be a judge on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Really? Because he’s done dance routines live more often than THE X-FACTOR judge Britney Spears has sung live!
Best Reason To GTL: Looks like at long last, the national nightmare that has been JERSEY SHORE has been canceled.

Best Speech, GOP Division: Speaking at the Republican National Convention, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie gave the kind of rousing address that gets folks to vote. Too bad he’s not, you know, the guy who’s actually on the ballot!

Proof There’s Someone For Everyone: COUGAR TOWN’s creepy neighbor, Tom, is getting a girlfriend, to be played by Ali Wentworth (aka Mrs. George Stephanopoulos).
Biggest Reversal Of Fortune: BIG BROTHER’s Dan went from dead man walking to ruler of the roost by pulling off the biggest move of the season.
Largest Disconnect: Although critics slammed both HONEY BOO BOO CHILD and THE NEWSROOM — two shows we never thought would be linked in an item — both saw large ratings gains this week.
