If someone had told me 10 years ago that one of the highest-rated TV shows in 2008 would be a ballroom dance competition show with Cloris Leachman, Susan Lucci and Toni Braxton, I'd start giggling like someone was tickling me. What? When it first came on, it reminded me of a show my grandmother might have watched, but that would've been on Saturday at 7:30pm from a station in New Jersey, not 2 nights a week prime time on ABC.
On the other hand, when I was kid, they had cheesy specials like Battle of the Network Stars which I loved loved loved. Except that came on once a year and featured the hottest people of the moment, not desperados needing a career boost.
I can't make up my mind if this proves that TV is changing forever or not.
