I am always happy to get more Kathy and this may give her a shot at another Emmy categorey (reality host), but I'm not liking that it seems so similar to Dancing With The Stars.

Oh, joy; just what America needs is another freakin' dance show hosted by a D-lister.

I love Kathy, but this sounds atrocious.

This just sounds like a trainwreck. Recreate famous dance scenes? There are that many?

Plus, while I love Kathy Griffin's stand up, I can't see her as a host- I can't imagine her not making everything about her. It just doesn't seem like a fit at all.

This seems exactly the type of thing that Griffin would make fun of.

This will not last. How much do you want to bet Kathy either gets A) Fired for cursing, B) Fired for making fun of the show on-air, C) Fired for nudity, or D) Fired for bad-mouthing the show off the air??? Realistically, I'm sure Kathy will be great and funny as hell, but I don't see how this show could be a success. The question to ask yourself when thinking about this situation is will Kathy Griffin get fired before the show gets canceled? That might be enough for me to tune in to see the first episode, LOL.


For Your Grammy Consideration:
Kanye West for "Heartless" and 808's & Heartbreak
Adele for "Hometown Glory"
Taylor Swift for "You Belong With Me" & Fearless
Maxwell for "Pretty Wings" & BLACKsummer'snight
Kings of Leon for "Use Somebody"
The Cast of GLEE for "Don't Stop Believin' "
Mariah Carey for "Obsessed"

This is most definitely a D-list show to host.

This sounds to me like ABC is simply looking for something to fill a slot until January when some mid-season show takes over.

Speaking of ABC mid-season, is "The Deep End" dead or is that show going to air in mid-season? it was one of the pilots i was most curious about and it seems to have vanished off the face of the earth---i knew it was supposed be a mid-season entry but so far i've heard nothing about it. i'm assuming it's dead.


Praying The Daytime Emmys air on TV in 2010!

It's a pop culture rule: When you're third (or fourth, or later down the line) in jumping on a cultural trend you're essentially doomed to go down in flames.

I would ONLY watch the first couple eps for background to whatever smack Kathy will talk about it in her act later on...

Oh, Kathy, Kathy, Kathy...

"Let's Dance" canceled before it even aired. Reason given was "casting issues."

Can't wait to hear what she has to say about this in her act...

Figures the trades got it wrong.

RealityBlurred.com notes the show will air in January (apparently).

This comes from participant Kathy Najimy's Twitter account.

Too many dance shows on television right now. I think that viewers are topped out with dance shows. Leave the ones on air and let it be that. Enough is enough!


none
