The new season of "Dancing with the Stars" starts tomorow night.

On the one hand, I hate the idea that I'm looking forward to the start of this show. It drives me crazy that I've been taken in by this pseudo-reality (Aren't they all?) program. I take great pride in saying that I've never watched an episode of "Survivor." It also infuriates me that I'm more interested because the contestants are "celebrities."

On the other hand, my Beautiful and Talented Wife (The BTW), a former dancer, loves the show and this gives us a chance to do something together.

The real question will come when "Dancing with the Stars" is opposite a Monday Night Football game that interests me. That may be the real reason god created DVRs.
