The show’s not as popular as it once was and ABC cut it down to one episode a week but Dancing with the Stars will be back for a 19th round for the 2014-15 season.
What’s unclear is if the network will bring the series back for one cycle or two cycles next season. Though the ratings have fallen, both cycles from this season represent ABC’s best overall numbers, averaging up to 14.5 million viewers each week.
Host Tom Bergeron is leaving America’s Funniest Home Videos after the upcoming season but has indicated that he’ll be staying with DWTS. He did tease however that there are some changes in the works for the venerable dancing competition.
What do you think? Do you think that DWTS should have been renewed, or cancelled instead? Should it be aired once or twice a season? Would you change the series to draw more viewers?
I love it keep till the world ends
No guest judges they have not been for 19 years but every year there are 2 seasons . The one at the begging of the year is going to end at the end it will start.
I think they should put someone from one direction on the show
Should have judges dance and strut their stuff! would be big plus for ratings.
I love Dancing with the Stars, I am a huge fan. It should stay on for one night but no guess judges especially if the judge has no dance experience. Additionally, the finale show is too long. Although it is nice to see the stars that have been voted off it takes away from the stars that made it to the finale. The stars that were voted off can do one final dance all together. The finale show should be one hour.
dancing with the stars
is a great show.
there are number of great dancer (male -and female)
1 of thing that is special is the way that the pro dancers work with the stars.
there is some much love and under standing.
I thing this show need to brought back with all the people that have made it what has been over the years.
judges Karenna Mr. Len Goodman and Brno
this show has to come back for the 2014-2015
thank you
Robert
ps. the women are beautiful
I love the show. The guest judges make it entertaining for the viewers, and I enjoy watching it every week. I hope they continue to renew the seasons for a little while longer… maybe make some viewers dreams come true and have a Dancing With The Stars: Viewer’s Edition. Let some of the DWTS fans have a day (or week) of dance lessons with their favorite professional dancer. It doesn’t have to be a huge production, but I think it would be really fun. 😀 This was the first season I’ve been able to follow since the show’s started.
I absolutely love the show but would recommend a few changes. There’s only been a couple of guest judges that worked…like Donnie Osmond so not doable for a whole season. Most were terrible and gutted that rationale of judging. I’ll overlook the nakedness for now. Also I can’t stand Erin Andrews. she is really a snob in real life and it somewhat comes through on the program. She should stick with the locker room.
Love Erin as co-host! She is hysterical, can hold her own with Tom who is also hysterical and I think they’re styles and humor compliment each other. I too dodn’t care for the guest judges…not really fair to be judged by those who’ve never danced professionally as Bruno, Len and CA have. Another criticism I have is there are some stars in the past and present who have had so much more experience dancing (or ice dancing) their entire lives and I personally don’t think it’s an even match up to begin with, but it’s a wonderful and entertaining show… Read more »
Love the show…..hate Erin and really hate guest judges….not surprised ratings have slipped this year
There’s not a season of this show that I haven’t enjoyed, but this season is one of the best. Love Erin Andrews as co-host! Such an improvement over Brooke, who I always skimmed past. The pros are the real “stars” to me. Thank you for such a great show!
I love the show and I watched it for years. I knew on the first year it would be a big hit! And I vote. I love Tom B but Erin is bad…really! Forget the gimmicky guest judge (no more of derricks mean sis) and put some clothes on to go out in style if next season is the last! The current judges are good at what they do!
Still like the show want the old format back trio dances and a group dance with the remaining dancers. Also would like to see these actors on rebecca herbst, shemar moore, kimberly williams-paisley.
Dancing was a good show, However, guest judges are very bad for the show. The bigget problem is the celebrities are not really judged for the dancing capabilities, but instead by their popularity. If you are going to call it “Dancing With The Stars” then make it more about dancing or change it to Popularity of the Stars. I have seen some celebs that have been on the show longer that they should have been just because the were very popular but couldn’t dance a lick. I don’t like it either that at least one judge (Female) scores high because… Read more »
I AGREE!! GUEST JUDGES LOWERED THE RATINGS. HOW COULD THEY JUDGE IF THEY ARE NOT REALLY PROFESSIONAL DANCERS. THEY SHOULD TAKE GUEST JUDGES.
SORRY, WRONG; I MEANT – THEY SHOULD NOT GET GUEST JUDGES!!!
most ppl vote for there fav ppl not dancing ability
DWTS is one of my favorite shows. I would like to see it continue for at least once per season. It has come a long way since its earlier seasons with both good and not-so-good changes. I’m getting used to the one show per week, but it seems awkward for the viewers and stressful for the dancers when it is announced who is in jeopardy before they have even danced! It takes the fun out of watching. I think Erin Andrews is too aggressive for this show. Tom Bergeron continues to be the BEST host on TV. I’m not a… Read more »
DWTS has not been on 19 years…why they say 19 seasons is beyond me it is more like Season 10A and then for Season 20 would be Season 10B something to that effect…!!!
