Superstars of ?

I know I should be a lot more user friendly but I just can’t.  I watched the whole opening episode of SoD and just got incredibly bored.  The second show last week, I could only manage occasional glimpses over the top of the book I was reading.  This week, the hell with it, I’d rather laugh myself silly over the Big Bang and My Mother or even better watch the Lakers and the Cavs duke it out.

Anyway, that’s not the point.  This show is not about dancing it’s about world culture and they are trying to use the hook of the dancing to draw us in.  What really hurts is that there is no way to judge what they are doing and so are stuck with the opinions of the eight judges as though they know enough about the other cultures to understand the dance representations fairly.

Ah well, Lithgoe and Crowel have made enough bucks off of this “reality craze” to afford a failure or two.  And that is clearly what they have wrougt here.
