Ratings: Paula Abdul’s Dance Against Cowell-Less American Idol
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, CBS, FOX, American Idol, Ratings,
Wednesday night was epic for number-crunchers.
Paula Abdul’s new reality series Live to Dance competed for the same viewers in the same time slot as reality standard American Idol -- which no longer has Simon Cowell behind it. So, which reality series fared better?
Sadly, Abdul didn’t do too well. Live to Dance scored about 1 million in the key 18-49 demographic, compared to Idol’s 9.7.
The reality juggernaut is still down among its target audience, continuing its steady decline. But Idol isn't in serious trouble yet . . . and the same can't be said for Paula's Dance act. In the same time slot last year, sitcom reruns managed to pull down more viewers than Abdul’s reality contest.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Video,
When it comes to CBS reality shows, contestants either get smacked by a watermelon -- or get watermelon-sized welts.
What will we see when Live to Dance officially launches tonight? Well, like the audition rounds of So You Think You Can Dance, a few embarrassing -- and painful -- moments.
On tonight's evening's episode -- the show it will begin its regular Wednesday time slot starting tomorrow -- a dancer gets noticed by the judges for all the wrong reasons. Watch the video and try not to wince.

First Look: Paula Abdul Lives to Judge Dancing
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Video,
In just a few short weeks, the judge we all know we missed (for some reason or another) will be back in a center seat.
Paula Abdul, who made news when she decided to leave American Idol, will make her return to reality television on January 4. But this time, she'll be on CBS ... and she won't be focused on singing.
Although Live to Dance will differ from most of the dance competition programs out there -- the series welcomes contestants "in any age group" and from "any form of dancing" -- the show will still feature Abdul's unique ... style ... of ... judging. (Notice the pauses?)
