I was just listening to the radio and they said the show Dancing with the Stars is on it's 14th season. WOW!!!! I thought. That's quite a lot of seasons! I have never actually seen this show, EVER, but I am just wondering what it is about this show that makes it stand out, and makes you watch it? Do you watch this show?

If you are ever going to watch this show, this should be the season to watch. Everyone agreed that last night was the best First show ever. Lot's of talent to be seen. I usually watch the first show and then the last three. To watch the whole thing is to much for me. Enjoy.

I love watching it....and last night wow...they were all so very good! I usually watch the whole thing.....especially if there is someone on the program that I really like...this year I would have a hard time picking but I love Gladys Knight....she did well for an older person.

I used to watch it a lot and I watched it when the first season started but I can't anymore unless there's a celebrity I like on there. Even then I don't really care to. My mom watches it when it's on but I end up falling asleep! I don't really like it anymore because there's an "injury" every week (either a real one or someone crying over one, and then dancing all perfectly and laughing like nothing happened - like that Maria girl has been doing this season. I think it's for sympathy votes but whatever), the same male pro (Derek) always winning, and the terrible covers of songs.

I have watched it all 14 seasons and love the how.....I like dancing though and watching the stars grow and become professional dancers is very intriguing.....there is no violence....there is only fun and watching people improve for the most part....

I don;t watch the show. I think the attraction comes from watching someone like Kirstie Alley who went on the show figuring it would help her to lose weight. She turned out to be a better dancer than expected and did manage to drop some pounds. You also get other freak contestants like Chaz Bono or novelties like Bristol Palin. Neither were very good but kept getting votes to stay on, probably more due to their mothers rather than their performance. Most of the stars on the show aren't real stars or they are faded stars like Jaleel White (Urkel). From the sound of it White may be able to build a new career based on his performance.

No, I don't particularly watch it regularly, but once in a while I would chance upon it on TV, and I would watch a dance or two. Specially if the the girl is wearing a fancy-shmancy (code for 'sexy') dress. Or if the guy is a favorite athlete, and trying so much not to embarass himself. 14th season?! There must be a lot of followers!

I agree with everyone that is telling you that this is the season to watch if it is your first time. There was really only one bad dancer, and she went home last week. Everyone else is really good. I enjoy watching the story that they tell in the dance. Some of the moves are just amazing. It is also fun to watch these celebrities learn to dance. You finally see that they are just human. They make mistakes, and do fail at things. You see a whole other side of the celebrities. Many of the females don't even wear make up at practice. Plus Bruno is very funny! That man can make me laugh every time I watch it.

No, I don't watch Dancing with the Stars. I've watched it off and on maybe a handful of times in the past, but never could get into this show. I had no idea it's been on that long. Wow, that's really amazing! Happy mylotting!
