Review of Taken

It's lasted long enough to become a parody. "Stars" are rarely in attendance. The show is populated by a combination of washed-up TV people, the latest Disney project and people the that are an appeal to whatever demographic they are trying to sell to. Did I mention ringers? The last several seasons have featured "Stars" with extensive dance training including professional dancing experience. Adding modern dancing to the mix which has no defined rules therefore cannot be judged objectively against ballroom doesn't help the balance. And to top it off, the most recent winner was the worst dancer of the season but had a national radio show to appeal for votes. Time to put this show out of it's misery, or our misery.

Imagine Geraldo Rivera's "Opening Capone's Vault" extended from a one hour special to a multiple year series. All the cliffhanger excitement ginned up before each commercial only serves to make this show hopelessly shallow, much like their odds of success. I'll wait to read of their success in the the news, their continuing failures they can keep.
