Telly’s Take

As with other long-running TV series, Dancing with the Stars believes it can avoid my talons forever. But eventually, even the mighty fall. That said, I suspect this series is safe for at least another couple of cycles. Still, I will keep an eye on the ratings and update this page from time to time.
