DWTS

Hey there. Long time no write. Haven't had a rant or anything in a while but now I do.

Dancing With The Stars. Ok, by now you know I love dancing shows. This used to be one of my favs but it is getting rather old. Samo samo ya know. I fear its day has come. They are scraping the bottom of the barrel for sure.

The new dancing cast was announced. Oh yeah real exciting. Well, there are a few interesting possiblities.

Nicole Scherzinger - The Pussycat Dolls front woman. I see her going all the way, she already can dance sexy and she has a personality.

Evan Lysacek - Olympic figure skater. Skaters have proven to have the natural talent and grace to pick up the ballroom dances.

Pamela Anderson - well you know who she is. She'll probably hang around for a while due to her fan base, but I just can't see her as a ballroom dancer. Pole dancer maybe. She and Nicole should draw in the male viewers.

Niecy Nash - Reno 911. I'm not a fan of this show, not my taste in humor, but she might have what it takes.

So what's left?

Kate Gosselin. Oh pulease! Why is this person even famous? It will kill me if her sympathizers keep her around. But that's the way it goes with this show. A better dancer will be voted off.

Shannen Doherty. She's admitted to live stage fright and I'm sure it will show.

Jake Pavelka. A Bachelor. So? I think those "matchmaker" shows are the most stupid waste of air time ever devoted to people desperate to be on tv. And no, I don't watch them. Although...there was that one Bachelor reject who came very close to winning by virtue of her talent for [gasp] dancing.

Buzz Aldrin. The token old person. No one will ever live up to George Hamilton in that catagory.

Some female sportscaster. Pretty, maybe she'll be able to dance, but will anyone care.

Some soap star. They've proven to have a little talent. Except for Susan Lucci.

Some football star. Pffft.

I am so glad to see the end of Samantha Harris as co-host. I love DVR, I could FFWD past her insipid backstage interviews.

BTW, I should mention I don't vote on any of these shows. I just sit back and rag at the stupidity of the ones that do. Hey it costs to vote. Valuable minutes on the cell bill or valuable time on slow dialup.

In other TV talk.

Some of the shows I got into are finally picking up again. After I've completely forgotten what was going on way back before the Xmas season. Sure would be nice if they'd rerun the earlier episodes so we can catch up again by the time the new shows air.

So what, you might wonder, was I watching?

Flash Forward. This is one I'll probably add to my DVD library. Fascinating storyline and characters. Can't wait to see where it goes.

V. Yeah, I'm hooked but it's not library-worthy.

Smallville. Actually on hiatus for I don't know how long. I love how they are bringing the Superman mythology together. My favorite episodes are the ones that tease at the Justice League to come. I also love Clark's dark look in the long leather duster. To this day, I can't get over his resemblance to Christopher Reeves, the most iconic Superman.

Some were cancelled and I'll miss them.

Dollhouse. An awful lot of questions weren't answered.

Warehouse 13. Now this show had a lot of stories to tell!

Sanctuary. I have mixed feeling about this one. It started out really cool with interesting "abnormals" but then sort of fizzled by focusing on the caretakers too much. Some of the more interesting characters were killed off. Come on, give us more of the mythology the show was based on.

All for now.
