Two Left Feet
My favorite show for a number of reasons, Dancing With the Stars, is back for its fourth season. Unfortunately, it's off to poor start.
The array of stars isn't as stellar, and they only got four weeks, not six for basic training. It sounds like a budget cutback, like most movie sequels, and it shows. The band seems flat, and so far, I haven't heard any of the creative arrangements of past seasons.
Plus, various cues are being missed, microphones aren't being potted up on time, and cameramen are getting caught in the shots. The impressively tight productions are gone. It's still a pretty good product, but no more.
Maybe things will pick up now. I hope so.
