| If I've learned anything from watching VH1 (and I like to think I've learned a lot), I predict that in the very near future, we will look back on ABC's Dancing with the Stars with a feeling of ashamed, disgusted regret. What an unbelievably stupid idea for a TV show. The premise "is a totally unique and original series that pairs a celebrity with a professional dance partner as they train and then compete in front of a studio audience in a televised dance competition. The pairs will be judged by a panel of experts and also by viewers at home, with one couple being eliminated each week." Apparently, this idea isn't American. 1 point for us. It's "an international hit in several countries". My question: How? What on earth is appealing about watching B- and C-list "celebrities" (term used loosely) dance in a competition? Do we learn something from this? Do people get blown up? Are there sex scenes? No. No. No. Mark my words: We will look back on this with regret. #entertainment |
