Growing its audience among viewers and young adults each season since its debut in Summer 2005, ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" has established itself as one of television's most popular series. The program has consistently improved its time periods and been a top competitor in those slots. This season "Dancing with the Stars" stands as the second-most-watched program on television, while qualifying as the No. 1 unscripted TV series in Total Viewers (20.7 million) and Adults 18-49 (5.8/15). "Dancing with the Stars" attracts a highly desirable upscale young adult audience, ranking among the highest-rated shows on TV with Adults 18-49 in homes earning $100K+ annual income (No. 6 = 5.9 rating). It's the No. 1 unscripted series with high-income young adults. On its third season finale during the 2006 November Sweep (11/15/06), "Dancing with the Stars" achieved the series' most-watched telecast ever, with an average audience of 27.7 million viewers.

"Dancing with the Stars" is the U.S. version of the international smash hit series, "Strictly Come Dancing." This version is produced in America by BBC Worldwide. Conrad Green and Richard Hopkins are executive producers and Izzie Pick is co-executive producer. Rob Wade and Matilda Zoltowski are supervising producers. Alex Rudzinski directs.

"Dancing with the Stars" and its "Results Show" are broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1 channel surround sound and Spanish audio via SAP. These programs carry a TV-PG parental guideline.
 
Hey! I'm part of a highly desirable upscale audience! (18-49, in households earning 100K+ per year.)

Hmmm...and yet I drive a 2000 Ford Taurus with some unattractive duct tape involvement. What's wrong with this picture?

I can't wait! Though the music is often bad and the judges comments sometimes leave me going, "whaaa?", I still cannot resist another chance to see Louis, Nick, Cheryl and Edyta in action. Although I will admit that my favorite part of last season was watching the pro demonstrations on results night. (Victor and Anna and their gorgeous foxtrot come to mind *sighs happily*).

I just love watching the pros. Nick, be still my heart!!! <sigh>

Victor and Anna were the BEST!!! Truly inspiring.
 
I was digging around on IMDB recently (that's the Internet Movie Database and saw something rather odd in the cast listing: a number of celebrities who I know have never been on the show as cast members!

Andrew Lawrence
Eva Longoria
Elizabeth Berkeley
Nick Lachey
Matthew Lawrence
Rachael Raye
Ashley Tisdale
Marilu Henner
Joshua Morrow
Holly Robinson Peete

Now, I know that Eva Longoria and Nick Lachey have appeared in the audience, but not on the actual show. Do you think someone leaked the next cast via DWTS's IMDB listing, or that it's just a big mistake? I guess we'll see in a few months....

Actual dancers must not be part of the "highly desirable upscale audience" because all their money is already spent!:rolleyes:

I think all of those people have been on the show in one way or another. I remember pretty much all of them talking in that "what the audience thinks" segment they had last season to fill time, if not elsewhere in the show (hanging out with family/friends that are on the show).

Doubt it. I think all of them showed up in audience & rehearsal clips. Andy Lawrence, I think it's Joey's brother. Pretty much everyone else has appeared in audience or rehearsal clip & also being interviewed (like Rachel Ray).

But some of them certainly would make sense to be invited to be on the show :) Would love to see Nick, Eva and Rachel. But I can't see where Eva & Rachel can find the time to do it.
