This remake may have a great cast of actors but Dirty Dancing isn't just about the iconic lines and scenes. It's about the magnetic connections and tension between the characters, the swagger and desire, innocence and curiosity, and pushing the boundaries of the 1980s movies. Simply put, the magic is missing. The vibe, the joy, the heartache - none of it is there. Sometimes, remaking a classic movie is the WRONG move. When they get it right the first time....leave it alone! No need to waste three hours watching this film.

I love legal dramas but this soap opera style drama does not work. Katherine Heigl seems like a lovely person but has a tough time being taken seriously as an actress. She is not natural or easy. Dulé Hill is the best character in both episodes. I sincerely hope he finds another place to land because this show will not last. I had never heard of Laverne Cox, and now I know why - no acting ability at all and such an annoying character. I'm so disappointed because I was hoping this would be a fun new show to watch. The weird dating drama between lawyer and client is ridiculous and part of what makes the show such a flop. Concentrate on the cases and make it interesting.

Maya and Marty work so well together and play off each other nicely. The variety show is silly and keeps me laughing. It has a Saturday Night Live combined with Carol Burnett feel to it. Certainly, there were moments where I was simply wide eyed and shaking my head but overall it was an easy to watch,entertaining program. I realize the throw back aspect of the show might not appeal to many people but I enjoy watching goofy things like this from time to time. Maya and Marty are very talented. It was fun to see other actors and actresses make an appearance and have a good time. I would recommend this show - relax and just enjoy the simplicity and humor.
