This is a small deal. One to which I must confess.
Peggy and I love to watch "Dancing with the Stars" on ABC TV Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. We watched it last year as well.
In fact for as long as I can remember we have enjoyed all kinds of competitive ballroom dancing. Watched it for years on PBS. There was this hostess who I guess died of cancer who I liked better than the ones they have now.
When we were younger won a few dance contests in Dickey County. We were (at least I was) much more flexible then. Not so much now.
I know it's all made for TV hype, I know it's phony, all the tears and such. It's reality TV with ballroom gowns and lots of makeup. I know all that. Hey, some people watch professional wrestling. So, lighten up.
We don't call in and vote. We just enjoy it. And without activation of my prophetic gift I try to guess the comments and scores the judges give. I do OK. Maybe I'll apply to be a judge. I could do as well.
Don't love me any less for my guilty pleasure. You have them too. I'll be you don't even feel guilty you Wrestlemainia watcher.
Now if they could throw in a few comedians a singer and a guy who spins plates on long sticks…oh wait… that was the Ed Sullivan Show….ah good times.
ReplyDeleteJackie Gleason rocked too.
