The past few years Lisa and I have only made a point of watching two shows - The Office and Scrubs. We've added another to the list now: Dancing with the Stars. We actually find it entertaining and interesting. I think adding celebrities to the mix makes it initially more interesting, but then the hosts and the judges make it way, way better than any other competition. The judges (two of whom have English accents, which always helps) are witty and intelligent, making the morons from American Idol look mean and stupid.
We first got into it a little bit during the last season, and we've been on it from day one for this season. In addition, the girls really like it too, and it starts at 8pm so they can watch a little bit of it some weeks. Each week the couple eliminated (a celebrity and a pro) is determined by the judges' scores and popular voting, so it's not just a popularity contest. That said, we were witness to injustice last night, when one of the better contestants (Sabrina, a Cheetah girl (?)) was eliminated, while the likes of Jane Seymour and Marie Osmond, who are clearly a step below everyone else, didn't even make the "bottom two." Unfortunately, this means that we'll have to endure at least two more weeks of one of 'em. I'm sure they have an army of fans keeping them afloat (well, they must, since they get the lowest scores). Oh, the drama!

Dan and I have never really gotten into that show. The only reality tv show we watch faithfully is "The Biggest Loser." I don't know we like it so much, but we do.
