Dance War
ABC, Jan. 7, 8 p.m. ET
NEW SERIES!
Dancing with the Stars judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli detach themselves briefly from staunch, sensible Len Goodman to launch their own reality competition. They'll each coach a six-member team of singer-dancers, with viewers voting each week to determine which group performed best. The losing coach has to boot off a dancer. Carrie Ann will probably cry. Bruno will surely explode with impassioned farewell praise: "You are a—SEXY SOOOPERNOVA! Now go!"
