‘Pretty Little Liars’ season 5: Janel Parrish dancing to theme on ‘Dancing with the Stars’

How is this for implementing “Pretty Little Liars” to the fullest on “Dancing with the Stars“? For Monday night’s new Halloween episode, we are going to see Janel Parrish and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy take on a routine set to the ABC Family series’ popular theme song.

So how is this possible? Well, for those who don’t know, the “Pretty Little Liars” theme is actually “Pieces,” a song by The Pieces that is far longer than you ever hear on the show. We’ve enclosed the audio for that below, just in the event that you want to actually hear the song yourself.

As for what we personally think about the song as waltz material, it’s smart first and foremost. What better way to ensure that you get the attention of diehard fans of the show? Considering that “Pretty Little Liars” is one of the most-discussed shows on social media, it feels in theory like this will get them an avalanche of votes, and therefore enable them to move forward in the competition in a big way.

Even without this, it feels like Janel and Val are poised to be in this competition for a long time. They’re both great performers, and therefore have an inside track to get high scores. Also, so long as Michael Waltrip and Tommy Chong are in the competition, they can probably draw high-enough scores to last for a little while thanks to a sheer divide in the performances. While these two guys have lasted for a while, it feels like they are nearing the end of the road now.

What do you think about this particular choice for these two, at least when it comes to getting good “Dancing with the Stars” scores? Share what you think below, and head over here to get some further TV updates on all we cover via our CarterMatt Newsletter. (Photo via ABC.)
