The Real Dirty Dancing

Thirty-five years after the original release of "Dirty Dancing", some of us still watch the story of Johnny and Baby periodically. This new competition show is for such fans.

Eight contestants of varying celebrity compete in the re-creation of scenes from the iconic movie. The competition is held on the grounds where the movie was filmed---at "Kellerman's". If there is discussion in the first episode about what goes to the winner(s), I missed it. But that is not important. This series is about reliving and relishing the film. Fortunately, it is liberally sprinkled with clips from the film.

Patrick Swayze is no longer with us, and Jennifer Grey has moved on to a new visage, facially. But we can celebrate their original performances with this tribute show.

After the first competition, it is clear that there is no lack of passion by the contestants. And some of them have real skills. I look forward to watching them attempt to dance on the log or do the lift in the lake.

After continually watching the useless cat and dog fighting in the bachelor franchise TRDD was a total treat. Twitch and his wife were so adorable and the contestants quite a mixed and interesting bag with impeccable support of one another. I was not quite sure about the winners but that is what the audience voted so that is that...... a live audience perspective is always different .

Seeing Kellerman's again plus all the clips was a total pleasure. Bravo!

First of all the resort is just outside of Pembroke, Virgina and everything but the lake lifting was filmed there. The lake lifting was filmed in North Carolina. This show is adorable.

Being a fan of movies I thought this was fun and original concept that actually can keep going with other iconic dance films, so hopefully they don't can the concept. It's an easy watch with celebrities having a blast and motivates you to revisit the film.

I rated the movie a 10 and called it the ultimate feel good movie and said that any reviewer who did not feel the same was a troll. This tv show presents a totally unique concept and pulls it off admirably. Beyond words. It is the most fantastic and feel good tv show I've watched in 70 years of being a tv junkie. The most very mostest best!!!!!
