Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review: This show is so much fun that I couldn't stop watching it. It's "Dancing with The Stars" with the possibility of dangerous leg-breaking falls. What could be bad? Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Season 1 Review: There is something satisfying about watching difficult things performed well, especially when the point is to make it look easy, and especially when the performer is a person who might reasonably be expected to fail. Read full review

Erik Pedersen

Season 1 Review: Combine the legions of figure skating fans with those who were swept off their feet by "Dancing With the Stars," and all signs point to a breakout hit. Read full review

Nancy DeWolf Smith

Season 1 Review: The result is ridiculous; but it's far more amusing than Hollywood Squares, which is where other formerly famous go to die. Read full review

Diane Werts

Season 1 Review: Tonight's "Skating" debut glides onto the air in a weird sort of middle zone, not quite cheesy enough to skewer, yet too much a cheese-product to take seriously. Read full review

San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa Times

Charlie McCollum

Season 1 Review: It's a rip-off (and not a particularly well-executed one) of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." Read full review

Jose Antonio Vargas

Season 1 Review: The result is rarely funny, often humdrum, surprisingly predictable fare. Read full review
