Was thinking (and lamenting) about the lack of televised competitive figure skating coverage and thought about the late "Skating with the Stars" reality television show.
I certainly respected the competitors - and believe me, I give everyone credit for having the bravery and fortitude to train and compete on ice - especially if you have never done so before! It is a lot of ask, physically, and well, the results were a bit mixed.
I can't remember the names of most of the competitors. Dick Button was involved with this series, and perhaps it was thought this venture could piggyback on the enormously successful "Dancing with the Stars". It just wasn't meant to be. :disapp:
