“Dancing with the Stars” loves to stir up controversy, and for them one of the best ways to do that (see Tom DeLay or Bristol Palin) is to find someone famous within the world of conservative politics and then put them on TV. The show has an audience that consists of both political parties, so […]
The ballroom battles are going to live on for quite a while longer. Despite “Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars” becoming more or less the equivalent of a 5 from Len Goodman in the ratings (primarily in the 18-49 demographic), ABC executive Paul Lee said during the network’s panel at TCA on Thursday that the plans are […]
Could the lower ratings for “Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars” cause the ballroom competition show to scale back a little bit? Based on what we are both hearing now, it is looking like going to an “American Idol” format of airing one season a year is a definite possibility. According to the New York Post, […]
When “Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars” was first announced a little earlier in the year, it was hard to find anyone at all who had anything negative to say about the concept.

Even though any winner of “Dancing with the Stars” would have been sweet, it may have ultimately been the sweetest to see two people come out on top who did not win the ballroom competition their first time around: Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani. Even going into this season, they were underdogs: we never once […]
It has been an interesting season of “Dancing with the Stars” the past few months, largely because there were so many surprises, strong dances, and even some exciting twists in the second half of the year that really managed to elevate the show beyond just what it has been over the past few years. However, […]
Thank goodness for the end of Thanksgiving, and for CBS, thank goodness for them finding a way to prop up their Monday-night lineup for the time being. After long suffering with “Partners” dragging everything down, they have deciding to fix their schedule with the show that really fixes everything at the moment: “The Big Bang […]
If there is one episode of “Dancing with the Stars” ever year that we want to go ballroom bananas over, it’s the first part of the finale. Why?
