    Like the millions of other emotionally unstable imbeciles who tuned in, I found myself strangely drawn to the idiotic flair of the whole thing. Watching this show is like traveling back in time, to a simpler era, when most of our pop culture was considered foolish and sad.

    While mildly amusing, what the show lacks is charm. And humor. And tension. [2 Jun 2005]

    The stars (Trista Sutter, John O'Hurley and Joey McIntyre, et al.) are strictly marginal. The host (Tom Bergeron) is excruciatingly lame. And the dancing is only sporadically scintillating. [26 Jun 2005]

    Everything looks tacky: the set, the costumes, the lighting, the script (one host actually says, "The tension mounts") and above all the dancing, with its tiresome emphasis on tricks over human contact, or the dancing illusion thereof.

THIS IS NOT A POPULARITY CONTEST!!! Where is Simon Cowell when you need him, or anyone who will tell (and score) the truth, yet the show continues to allow the "popularity" vote to over-ride actual talent. Seriously.... some loser who can't do a single dance step wins! And, one who can (Juan Pablo) is cut! This is terrible. I will no longer watch the show.… Full Review »
