Let’s Dance

How bad must your reality show stink that it got cancelled because the show couldn’t find contestants willing to appear on it? That is the question that I pose concerning the 2009 “comedy/dance” competition Let’s Dance hosted by comedienne Kathy Griffin that ABC yanked due to lack of contestants. Now call me a crazy but in a world where a show like Vh1’s Couples Therapy never seems to be at a loss for Z-level celebs to come on and air every skanky piece of their dirty laundry for all the world to see, just how is it that a network dancing contest would be incapable of pulling enough attention starved has-beens to do the foxtrot and rumba? I am sure that those Real Housewives women are up for any gig that keeps them in front of a camera and as long as there are stars in the sky former child actors that have fallen upon hard times career wise will be willing to humiliate themselves for a few more moments in the spotlight. And don’t forget about those Kardashians! Every member of that family has taken attention whoring to new levels. I am sure ABC could have gotten one of them to put on their dancing shoes and humiliate themselves for another few seconds added to their 15 minutes of fame. I would have to chalk up this show being cancelled before airing to pure laziness on the part of the talent bookers.
