Television Musings - Rants and Raves from a Romance Writer


By Kathy Carpenter

Superstars of Dance


This is the latest dance show. Although this is a competition we don’t vote or have a say. So it’s more for the entertainment of the dance.

Eight countries, US, China, Argentina, Ireland, Russia, South Africa, India and Australia, are competing in group, duo’s, and solo categories. There is one judge from each country and the judge from the country performing doesn’t vote. Each judge gives a score form 1-10. So, far six is the lowest. Mostly sevens, eights, nines, and tens,
There is no rhyme or reason to which dance the country performs in what order. Each country goes through and performs one of the three. Then they repeat in the same order.

It’s wonderful to see dances from around the world. To invest in some culture.

Looks like the show will be about three or four weeks. Do not know if it has what it takes to be a repeating show.

Another new show which will debut this week is Howie Do It. It stars Howie Mandel doing practical jokes. I love Howie on Deal or No Deal. This one I may or may not like. I could probably take it or leave it. But I hate the name.

One more comment this week. Lipstick Jungle I said it was cancelled but there may be new life and I hope so. After watching last Friday I saw previews for this week advertising as the season finale.

Cancelled Shows

Not news we like to hear this time of year but my sister read my a list of shows that are cancelled. Though I can not remember all I thought I would spread the word on the ones I do. A lot of these were some of the ones I’ve mentioned in this blog as being creative. I guess Americans are not into creative television at least some of it. Here we go. Pushing up Daisies. The show where the hero can touch a dead person and bring them back to life for a minute - told in storybook fashion. Eli Stone. Where Eli see visions from God that help solve his cases and tell which cases to take. My own worst Enemy. I did not talk about this one. But it was where the same guy played duo personality, one a homebody, the other a spy. Dirty, Sexy, Money. Another big, rich family drama. One that was just starting to get good. Where the good lawyer, who was actually part of the family, was starting to become a little less moral and more like his dirty family he represented. Always and interesting concept.

We also lost Ex List and Valentine the two cutesy romance type shows. Lipstick Jungle which I really enjoy and Caruso which I dit see as a long time show. I mean the same things happen every time people come to island, and Caruso remains or the show is over.

Merry Christmas!

Till next time
