DWTS - tonight is a commercial for Disney

Tonight on DWTS it's heavy promotion of ABC parent company, Disney. All the couples are dancing to Disney songs. I guess everything is one big commercial these days. I love Disney but this seems a little too much -- I'll still be watching. What do you think? Will you be watching?

these days so much of the stuff on ABC is an ad for Disney...

Yes. I hate that about ABC these days. They should call it "The Disney Channel." They own it, so their programming is full of it, including the fairy tale shows (all Disney characters). I immediately thought I wouldn't watch DWTS tonight because of that. I certainly don't think there are going to be any "jives."

With all of the new characters on "Revenge" every week, I expect "Goofy" to pop into the mansion any day now.

Yes, you've got a point! America's Funniest Videos comes to mind -- the same host as DWTS.

LOLOLOLOL - spewed my coffee on that one. Just imagining Goofy doing a scene with the nastiest woman on there -- her name escapes me.

Yes I will still watch, I like Disney.

You mean Victoria. [Glad I gave you a laugh!]

I just laughed out loud! One week, I actually had to take notes--"who's this and why's he there?" My girlfriend and I will regularly talk about what happened because it went over our heads.

But . . . . Goofy's probably safe from being killed off on Scandal and their fast-talking bunch.

I too love Disney & look forward to it - & they've done this at least once before, maybe twice. Fun change for the week. Beats doing Disco Hits!

Oh, I do not agree with that. Disco was made for dancing!

There might be some jivey Disney tunes . . . I don't watch the movies, so I wouldn't know. (I do like the old classics though, they remind me of my childhood.)

LOL! I never got into that one (Scandal). I don't know why, I think it was because I was watching something else in that time frame when it was first introduced.

This will be perfect for Meryl- she looks like she could be a Disney Princess!

You'te totally right. And Charlie looks like a prince.

I watched part of ""Stars on Ice"" last night. They were the last ones on and they danced to Rachmaninoff (my favorite composer). They were absolutely stunning . . . by far the best ice dancers since Torville and Dean (the British ice dancing pair from the 90s).

She certainly does.

As a grandmother of 3 girls under 9, I have to say, I am not a fan of most of the music from Disney movies.

ITA! They are unbelievably stunning and are the picture of grace under pressure. I hope they're still around for the next Olympics.

Yes, everything is one big commercial. They do the same for many of ABC's shows, often having embarrassed looking stars sitting in the audience.

BTW, airhead Erin Andrews is expected to announce a few of next season's DWTS contenders:

-You Guys

-These Guys

-Those Guys

-Us Guys

-The Guys at Home

-The Old Guys Who'll Have To Withdraw

We saw Stars on Ice last Wednesday. Meryl and Charlie were the hit of the show.

I'm going to watch if I get home in time. If not, I'll catch it on demand later.

Someone said Meryl Davis looked like Princess Jasmine. I can totally, totally see that. She would be adorable.

Can't wait.
