ABC to Keep on Dancing, Renews Five Unscripted Shows
Dancing With The Stars by Carol Kaelson/ABC
Stars better keep those
Dancing shoes shined, and wives better be wary: ABC announced its renewal of five unscripted shows, including
Dancing with the Stars.
Along with
DWTS, the net said Thursday that it's bringing back
Wife Swap,
Supernanny,
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and
America's Funniest Home Videos - for its 19th season (!). Conspicuously absent from the list was that
Dancing-like newbie
Dance Wars, which never quite got moving. Don't worry about the mate-seekers being left out - following the upcoming season of the
Bachelor (with that smokin' British leading man), the show will be swapped out next season with a new version of
The Bachelorette.
ABC's roster of five confirms the renewal of its veteran unscripteds, and repeats a similar move last year, when it beat its competitors to the renewal-announcement punch.
