Dancing With the Stars--Again

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Dancing With the Stars, but it seems like the show has more than one "season." I am looking forward to it, I guess, but at the same time, I'm a little tired of it. It seems like there are two seasons, and maybe that is the problem. I also am a big fan of the series, Lost, but it seems that it has the opposite problem from Dancing With the Stars--less than one season. Not all that long ago, there was the Fall lineup of shows and the season would run from the end of September to sometime in May. Now there isn't any predictablilty. Two seasons of DWTS and a season of Lost that starts in Decemeber or January and only runs until May. Then, of course, there are the shows like The New Adventures of Old Christine, and Pushing Daisies that seem to just fade away without any warning, or the shows that are moved around to so many different days that the viewer can't ever find it. Television viewing just isn't what it used to be. So, I will catch as much of the season premiere of Dancing With the Stars as I can tonight (kid has a softball game ) and just try to figure out the other shows as they start up again. Such worries I have!

Dancing With the Stars and American Idol--Can I Handle It?

Don't know why, but I just really enjoy watching "Dancing With the Stars." My husband and I took a ballroom dancing class several years ago. I was awful. I have a very sensitive neck, and the dancing really took a toll on it. It took a couple of weeks after the classes ended before I could even turn my head. So, anyway, my family and I watched the first installment of "Dancing" and it looks like it is going to be another interesting season. I also have more reason to watch this season since my cousin and her dance partner, who are trying to get their professional dancing careers really going could be on the show. They were in Los Angeles when the show was filming the back stories on the dancers, and may even end up in the background. Good for them, they have been working hard and would like to get some work that pays a little better. Tonight will be a marathon TV watching night since both "Dancing With the Stars" and "American Idol" are both on. We will be going into musical reality show shock tonight! Oh well, this week is my kids' Spring Break, so bring it on!
