    It's all so much fun, in fact, that I propose Dancing viewing parties: Break out the wine and crackers and let ABC provide the delicious, calorie-free cheese.

    Maybe it's the heat, but it's difficult to imagine anyone disliking Dancing With the Stars, so far the most entertaining new series of TV's off-season. [22 Jun 2005]

    Dancing With the Stars is an improbable, goofy delight, more fun to watch than the bombastic American Idol for at least two reasons. The first: Unlike Idol wannabes, contestants on DWTS know they're amateurs. ... The second reason DWTS makes for better watching than American Idol is purely kinetic: Bad dancing is simply more fun to watch than bad singing is to listen to.

    You get the absorbing pleasure of watching celebrities try a demanding art form that could leave their toes blistered and their egos bruised. It also has the potential to make them look like dorks. [9 Jun 2005]

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 »
