And the reason is....they're frightened of "narrowing" their audience. The audience is already a bit narrow. Most serious people probably take no more than a passing glance at this sort of TV. Run them off and what do you have left?
Why not go all the way and turn it into a musical orgy? Throw in a few animals in heat, a few homos, a few in betweens (whatever they're called) and maybe a few large plants covered with insects just to spice it up a bit?
Once they open that door of perversion, anything is referred to as "politically correct" after that (complete with hate legislation and tolerance books for kindergartners).
Sure you weren’t thinking of Jane Velez Mitchell? She came out some time ago.
DWS production is going to wish for refreshing Bristol Palin to be back.
I think it’s fine for transexuals or gays and lesbians to dance, but not on National TV to push their lifestyle in our faces. I feel especially sorry for Chaz-she was a chubby, unhandsome woman and now she’s a chubby transgendered unhandsome man and she/he’s going to be in a world of hurt. Why put yourself through that, especially with the media stars her mother and father were. Sexually deviant from the norm lifestyles are for those who feel compelled, I guess. But privately, please. The rest of us don’t want to be exposed to that.
I’ve never watched the show and don’t intend to, especially if they want to do this crap.
I have Netflix and we watch Quantum Leap, MacIver, Wings, Cheers, and old movies. There are very few TV shows on now that are worth watching.
When all this started, they said all they wanted was tolerance.
We made the mistake of giving it to them. It's time we changed our minds.
The new cast of DWTS
I can honestly say I have never watched one nano-second of “dancing with the stars”. 13 seasons?!! That has to be more than one a year, right? What the heck is the ratio of men and woman who watch this kind of thing anyhow? I mean, who is saying “ah, the gays are ruining such a great show, ah well, we had 12 good seasons of awesomeness before they gayed it the hell up too much for my tastes”?

“Stars” is a stretch.
I really don’t see why all of a sudden people are upset that there is a gay guy on Dancing With the Stars. Um, one of the pro’s, Louie Van Amstel is gay and he’s been on quite a few seasons. He has been partnered with Margaret Cho, Neicy Nash, Trista Sutter, and Kelly Osbourne. I’m not sure about the other seasons, but he has never won. As close as he’s gotten was third place with Kelly. That was the year that Donny Osmond won.
Coming Attractions.
It’s Jane VM she talks about it in her book.
Nah. Not realistic enough. Those guys are wearing too many clothes. If you want to go queer, it's open ass chaps, whips, and chains all the way. No blood - no fun.
13 years already??
I remain very proud that I have never watched Dancing, or American Idol in all these years.
It’s a much better use of time to sit there and just pick my nose!
At least you get something out of the experience.
Makes me long for Australian rules football from back in the early days of ESPN...
