I must admit: I am very excited about this season of Dancing With the Stars.

Emmitt Smith? Boy, he can shake it! I just want to give him a big hug.

Mario Lopez? RRrrrow! AC Slater is back! (except for the song choice of "Walking on the Sun"- weird.)

Tucker Carlson? Hate him more than ever. He looked like somebody's overweight uncle trying to get "groovy" at their wedding after a few glasses of champagne. Or maybe a Yale-attending date rapist. Uh, maybe you could ditch the Young Republican uniform for a dance competition? Nice Dockers. Cough.

Jerry Springer? Kinda adorable.

Yes, the music and host are cheesy...but, hell, he hosts AFV (the new "hip" name for America's Funniest Home Videos) so what do you expect. This season is looking good.
