Devastated!

I waited for months to hear whether or not So You Think You Can Dance would be renewed for a 13th season. When the announcement of a green light finally came, relief and joy were quickly replaced with dread. Because of the horror that was last season, the network thought changes necessary. What changes? One of my all-time favorite shows is now overtaken by children. That's right! Instead of watching adults achieve their lifelong dream and launch careers, viewers are going to be subjected to brats between the ages of 8 and 13 destroy the credibility of the art form. Before everyone jumps on me for not giving the new take a fair shake, I tried. I really did. Made it about halfway through the premiere before I tapped. I am genuinely heartbroken that my journey with this amazing show seems to have come to an end. My only hope is that those involved realize the cataclysmic mistake made, and rectify it if a 14th season is in the cards. Whatever comes, So You Think You Can Dance has left an indelible mark on me, and I am forever grateful for that.
