This thread has far exceeded my entertainment expectations

Actually, if you have watched Dancing With The "Stars" before this season you know there are always a couple of people as dancers whose only attribute is that the producers expect them to draw viewers. Sometimes the producers hit the mark, like this year. Sometimes they miss the mark, like last year.

If they hit they get lots of viewers and can sell lots of advertising at high prices. Then they make more money. Which is their goal. According to what I saw reported Dancing With The Stars is the number one program on TV. Not only that but Bristol Palin, who is the only performer without an entertainment background, has drawn the most votes of any person who has appeared on the show. So, they definitely hit their goal and the BMW dealer must be a happy fellow, eh?

Oh yes, I would be remiss if I didn't comment on Mama Bear's appearance in the audience. Although that gets lots of press the fact is that the families of the other performers have been in the audience too and have had their mugs flashed on the screen as much, if not more, than Bristol's mom.

TV is 99% entertainment. Even the "news" shows are basically entertainment or teasers for another entertainment show. In the winter, I NEED entertainment.




Of course I expect y'all are going to watch Skating With The Stars
