Musicians? We don’t need no stinkin’ musicians!

‘Dancing With the Stars’ drops band

Big bands are quite an anomaly these days in American TV. I suppose I’m not surprised by this. ABC must really be trying to push every penny out of costs. DWTS has gone downhill quite a bit, IMO, from the original version. Disney/ABC really can’t handle the original BBC version, which I’ve attributed to American audiences not wanting to “go on the journey” as head judge Len Goodman always bragged, but rather want instant gratification (and thus the much shorter seasons.)

Oh well, who needs musicians anyway?

Well, they haven’t had all that many “stars” dancing for quite a while.
The Bristol Palin fiasco was the absolute bottom of the barrel.
