Paula Abdul's 'Live to Dance' dead?; 'Raising Hope' snags 'My Name is Earl' stars
In Zap2it's TV Snacks for Friday (Feb. 11), a former "American Idol" judge may need a new gig and some old TV friends will be visiting some new ones.
Oh, "Live To Dance," we barely knew thee (and from its ratings, we aren't the only ones). It sounds like Paula Abdul's post "Idol" reality competition is dead in the water. Sources say the struggling show won't be returning to CBS. [TVLine.com]
FOX's "Raising Hope" snags another couple of "My Name is Earl" alums for guest stars. Jaime Pressley and Ethan Suplee will appear as neighbors who draw Burt (Garret Dillahunt) and Virginia (Martha Plimpton) into their drama. [EW]

Really hope Jaime stays sober for the tapings. FOX better send her a car to pick her up an take her home.
Here's hoping AMC will extend its lineup of great original dramas with "The Killing".
Thank goodness they're getting rid of that horrible Abdul show on CBS. What garbage!
It seems that the people who WATCHED Paula's new show Live to Dance loved it. I am a dancer and a choreographer and I LOVED IT. It did focus a little too much on Paula, but I love raw talent instead of those dancers on SYTYCD that all look the same. LTD would be fine on another day. I hate that Paula had to go up against Idol - which happens to be the show that she helped be successful.
LTD failed because there were to many kids on it. There should have been a minimum age of 16 to compete.
sorry i'm a dancer too and while i loved the really good serious talent, too many acts that weren't all that good but were cutesy or gimicky made the cutoff. like most artistic shows i watched the acts worth watching and fast forwarded through the ones that sucked. didn't even watch who won after white tree whatevah was eliminated. hoped it would come back though so paula could work out the kinks. it has good premise. just was poorly executed.
i agree...LTD became a kids' show...too cutesy. it could've been more successful if 16 was the minimum age.
I only watched a few episodes of LTD and was VERY disappointed, and I'm a Paula Fan! At best, it was just another mediochre talent show. SYTYCD still is the BEST dance competition! It's entertaining, original, and actually molds the raw talent into an art form. Sorry Paula, you should have taken Nigels offer to migrate to that judges table.
