Are you gonna watch this? I dunno, DWTS was one thing, but I have a feeling this skating spinoff might now be nearly as good.

I may watch the first episode, DWTS made me angry when Brandy was throw off this week, I wanted her to compete with Jennifer Grey.

Oh God, it hurt my heart when Brandy was booted. Just a dagger.

Yeah and Palin and Kyle are still in the competition, makes you wonder if its fixed or not.

Honestly I don't even like the lineup.

Rebecca Budig
Bethenny Frankel
Jonny Moseley
Vince Neil
Brandon Mychal Smith
Sean Young

I will watch the first episode but if I'm not immediately wow'd, then I probably won't be tuning back in.

Are they serious?

Sigh...as a heart attack. I don't watch any of these shows but why do they call them "Fill in the Blank" With the Stars"? Mostly it should be, "....With the D-list."

Actually Dancing with the Stars has had some big name people on its show, Marie and Donny Osmond were on and this year Florence Henderson and Jennifer Grey were on. The spin offs usually have more of the D-list people.

I guess "Racing With the Stars" is next. Get a bunch of media celebrities and put them on a Nascar track to see who can out steer who.

How about "Ballet with the Stars" I am sure everyone would like to see George Clooney and Tom Cruise in tights.

Skydiving With the Stars

Shitting with the Stars. A panel judges the agility of their floating bowel movements.

Ejaculating With the Stars.

Nah, they just got more fans. Razz

'Dancing With the Stars' sees double-digit gains; 'Skating with the Stars' falls on $#@% by night's end
by Lynette Rice

Bully for CBS: Despite intense interest in the second-to-last episode of Dancing With the Stars, CBS took Monday in the all-important adults 18-49 demographic. The network posted a 3.5 rating/10 share, with How I Met Your Mother earning a 3.5/10 and 8.9 million, followed by Rules of Engagement (2.9/8, 8.1 million), Two and a Half Men (4.5/12, 14.3 million), Mike & Molly (up 8 percent to a 4.0/10, 12.9 million), and Hawaii Five-O (3.2/9, 12 million).

Each 18-49 ratings point equals 1.3 million viewers. CBS was second for the night in viewers with 11.4 million.

ABC, no surprise, was No. 1 in total viewers last night with 15.1 million and second in the demo (3.4/9). These numbers are approximate because Stars ran until 9:13 p.m. (Kyle, you sure were a jibbering-Jim last night), but Stars appeared to earn a 4.7/13 — up 18 percent from last week and 15 percent from its performance finale last fall. The show averaged 22.5 million from 8 to 9 p.m. The news is not as good for the premiere of Skating With The Stars: It posted a 2.7/7 – down 7 percent versus the Nov. 3, 2009 telecast of Find My Family. It declined in every half hour over the course of its telecast, starting with a 19.4 million (again, that super Stars lead-in) to just 6 million by 10:30 p.m. But hey, the show’s young and the stars are, um, not so starry! The franchise has potential; if only they’d lose the color commentary and have Len Goodman school Dick Button on how to be a great senior — and sassy — judge.

Fox was third for the night in the demo (2.6/7) and viewers (7.4 million). House earned a 3.4/9 and 9.2 million, while Lie to Me posted a 1.8/5 and 5.7 million. NBC was fourth in 18-49 (1.6/4) and viewers (5.1 million), with Chuck earning a 1.7/4 (hate to rub it in but that was its lowest-rated episode ever) and 4.7 million, followed by The Event (1.7/4, 5.1 million), and Chase (1.4/4, 5.2 million).

OUCH for Skating! And people thought Castle's numbers were mediocre? It bodes very poorly when a compatible show holds less audience than a totally different genre show. ABC should get back to the 8-10 Dancing/10-11 Castle pairing, it works best.

I had a feeling not too many people were gonna watch that. A bunch of stars call themselves trying to amateur figure skate doesn't sound at all interesting, IMO.

I was gonna watch it but forgot to. O' well. Guess it wasn't that important anyway.

I think it sounded about as interesting as a bunch of stars call themselves trying to amateur ballroom dance. Wink

Call it "Skating with Cancellation."
This shit airs on ABC too....the most cancel happy network on the air, next to FOX.

I just got a nice incentive to watch Skating with the Stars!
