Why everyone loves Dancing with the Stars?

This show takes the #1 spot in the ratings week after week with over 20 million viewers. It's pretty crazy that all it takes is a few celebs dancing it up to take the other #1 CSI. Wow who knew? Gotta love it. Right? We know we love the show, but want to hear how it compares with the other shows you watch.

ABC wins first week ratings!!

Thanks to Grey's Anatomy and a surprising start to Private Practice ABC takes the first week by less than 100,000 viewers over CBS. Of course Dancing with stars didn't hurt either.
