Waltzing... MacGyver?

Just to inject a little bit of pop culture into our discussion--what's the deal with this whole "Dancing with the Stars" show? I don't watch much TV, but apparently the first season was a huge hit. And now they're doing another one starting next month. (Interestingly, ABC has expanded each episode's length to 90 minutes, making it the longest, weekly network show to air in primetime in several years. They must be counting pretty hard on this one.) So, if I understand it correctly, they pair a bunch of B-List celebs with professional ballroom dancers, try to teach 'em how to rhumba, and we're all expected to be glued to our sets in rapture? WTF? Granted, it doesn't seem as bad as that awful Ted Nugent reality show on OLN, but c'mon, this is the best with which they could come up? Do they really think we're that stupid? (Oh, gotta go. "American Chopper" is about to start.)
