"Dancing With the Stars": Out of the Patch

September 23, 2008

Can't argue with tonight's elimination of Jeffrey Ross. He was arguably among the worst dancers on Monday night. Not that I agreed with the judges on everything.

"Dancing With the Stars" Semifinals (Four Contestants)

May 12, 2008

It's been a day off for the most part, and I've occupied myself in family business and books (a couple of Kathy Reichs's Temperance Brennan novels). Am trying to get back into viewing, with some in-progress notes about "Dancing With the Stars" after the jump.

Busy Monday Night

May 5, 2008

Had an out-of-the-house commitment, so I'll save most of my Monday viewing notes for tomorrow. Well, most of them. Watched "Dancing With the Stars" and was stunned (again) by judges' comments and scores. The free pass one contestant got — oh, my goodness. …. Yes, I think I will rant some now. …

April 16, 2008

ABC's Web said that Priscilla "has left the building." I'm betting you can come up with something much more clever.
"Dancing" leaves [...]
