FOX is copying a show ABC is currently having which is called "Dancing With the Stars". Now FOX has a similar program beginning this July. It is called "So Do You Think You Can Dance?" or something to that extent. It is annoying when a station copies another station's show, but it happens all the time.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by radiolover78 on 06/15/05 08:25 PM.</FONT></P>

Maybe Not A Copy (Was: Re: FOX Copies ABC's Show)
From what I've heard, "So You Think You Can Dance" is only vaguely similar to "Dancing With The Stars".
From what I've heard, "So You Think You Can Dance" will feature individual dancers who will compete in an "American Idol"-type competition (with the field eventually reduced to a "top ten" and then reduced one-by-one until there is a winner). It will be produced by the producers of "American Idol"; I wonder if Ryan Seacrest will also emcee "So You Think....".
By contrast, "Dancing With The Stars" (an Americanized adapaptation of BBC-1's long-running "Strictly Come Dancing") is a ballroom-dancing type competition featuring celebrities paired with "professional" competitive ballroom dancers.

FOX has been accused of stealing reality show ideas for years. That network has provided the absolute worst in programming since it was introduced.

Not all of their programming has been the absolute worst. Some networks are just as guilty. Do we need to remind people of "Cop Rock" on ABC? LOL

BBC's Saturday night live sensation "Strictly Come Dancing" is
actually a revival of the old "Come Dancing"(1950-1995). SCD returned
the ballroom dancing to BBC last year and became a huge hit across
the Pond. SCD revived BBC's Saturday night schedule which was up until
that point was being dominated by Simon Cowell's(yes, it's the
same SiCO who is the judge on American IDol) talent show
"The X-Factor" on ITV. BBC has already spun off SCD into a new show called
"Strictly Dance Fever" which just ended its 11-week run last Saturday.
(In SDF, couples learned a brand new dance style for each week's show.)
After a huge success with S.C.D. in its first season,
BBC Worldwide had sold the rights in different countries.
In US, it was picked up by ABC earlier this spring. BBC Entertainment
is actually producing the Hollywood version(the entire production crew and
the EP's are Brits). Looks like DWTS will be back on ABC after the
summer run because the Alphabet hit one out of the park with the
ratings.
As for the Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance"(working title was "Dance Nation").
The show has been in development for over a year. It's a co-production
of Dick Clark Prodcutions and American Idol's producers Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe. When originally announced last summer, the plans called for the revival of DC's American Bandstand. The format will have some of the elements of the original AB show but the show will focus on individual and partnered dancers who would square off in a live show each week. Style of dance would change each week as well, with contestants(all amateurs) dancing a new style to popular music.

FOX still probably got the idea from ABC or some other station. Can't FOX think of their own shows? Obviously they do, but they copy too much.
