DANCING WITH THE STARS
September 18, 2017  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

SEASON PREMIERE: This is not a recommendation. This is cycle number 25 for this competition reality show – and really, weren’t two dozen iterations enough? (Especially since the producers of this show keep snubbing Dick Smothers, who’s taken dancing lessons and, for years, has wanted to appear.) But look at the list of this year’s “stars” on Stars, starting with Nick and Vanessa Lachey, and Drew Scott of Property Brothers, and tell me how far ABC is stretching the definition of its acceptable firmament.
