Dancing With the Stars
I only saw parts of the last three episodes of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" mini-celebrity/reality show, but enough to understand its strong ratings. The music, the dancing, and the costumes were all grand. The women were graceful and lively as required, and always beautiful. Best of all, the men were men, dancing with intensity and authority.
The only negative was the slight smell of a fix at the end, with the underdog, somewhat erratic couple Kelly and Alec getting a perfect score to edge the more consistent John and Charlotte.
Who would have thought that G-rated family entertainment would be so popular? No endless stream of cheap sex jokes, no adults talking and acting like juveniles, and no laugh track. And America loved it.
