In a nutshell: Amateur dancers compete in every type of dance for the title of America’s Favorite Dancer.
Predictions: After all the krumping, breaking, mamboing, salsaing, jiving, hip-hopping, foxtrotting, quickstepping, waltzing and Broadwaying, I feel like a contemporary dancer will once again take the prize, just like last year’s winner, Sabra. |

Show: Swingtown
Date: Thursday, June 5, 10 p.m. ET, CBS/Global
In a nutshell: This controversial new show has characters Susan and Bruce Miller moving to a Chicago suburb in 1976 and discovering a provocative new lifestyle shown to them by their new neighbours, Tom and Trina Decker. While the Millers re-evaluate their own moral code they try not to alienate old friends, Janet and Roger Thompson. At the same time, the Thompson and Miller children explore their own morality and sexuality.
Predictions: A show about swinging can only mean one thing: a lot of cast members getting hot and sweaty. Be prepared to wipe the fog off your TV screen. |
Show: Greatest American Dog
Date: Thursday, July 10, 8 p.m. ET, CBS
In a nutshell: This reality show follows dog owners and their furry friends as they live under one roof, while competing to see who is the Greatest American Dog.
Predictions: Dogs in close proximity can only lead to them sniffing and licking each other. Who came up with this?! Get cancelled rubber stamp ready.
Show: Fear Itself
Date: Thursday, May 29, 10 p.m. ET, E!/NBC
In a nutshell: Hurrah! It’s not reality! Fear Itself is a 13-episode suspense and horror anthology series featuring boundary-pushing talent. Personalities involved in front of and behind the camera include John Landis (An American Werewolf in London), Darren Bousman (Saw II, III and IV), Cynthia Watros (Lost), Eric Roberts (Heroes) and John Billingsley (Star Trek: Enterprise).
Predictions: Nothing says “summer” like a good horror flick, and a series like this could really claw onto an audience. Muhahahaha!

Bill Bellamy (Def Comedy Jam, Any Given Sunday) will once again serve as host, and is joined by special correspondent/U.K. personality Fearne Cotton.
Predictions: Comedians will make jokes, and we will laugh. What more could you ask for? |
