Skating with Celebrities (2006– ) User Reviews

Fun, mindless entertainment

[clwilson91 · 9 March 2006]

Skating with Celebrities might be a blatant takeoff on "Dancing with the Stars," but it is fun anyway. And you have to give these quasi-celebs their props for coming such a long way in their skating.

It is great to see judge Dorothy Hamill again. That woman is beautiful. Next she needs to do a show about how to look as young as she does at her age.

Unfortunately, the show got more attention for an off-ice scandal this year (Lloyd Eisler leaving his pregnant wife for skating partner Kristy Swanson), but the rest of the celebrity-professional parings were great.

Scott Hamilton and Summer Sanders are just fine as the show's hosts.

It isn't "must see TV" but it is a fun diversion.

This show is amazing and one of my favorites. All of those great award winning skaters and the beautiful celebrities join and make skating fun plus when I just saw part of it, it made me feel that I want to jump and skate on ice as soon as possible!!! The couples all suited each other and did have good chemistry: - Kristy and Llyod - Jillian and John - Dave and Nancy - Deborah and Kurt - Bruce and Tai - Todd and Jennni But my favorite were Nancy and Dave, and that Summer and Scott were amazing hosts with some cool judges except Jon Nicks, who always had to find one teeny-weeny mistake and problem and his speech mostly ended with a boooooooooooo! Well! THIS SHOW IS FANTASTIC!

Show stinks

What do you get when you combine American Idol, Star Search, skating, and celebrities? Well, Skating with Celebrities(SWC) of course! American Idol because of the strange resemblance between the judges of American Idol and SWC. Star Search because of its familiar scoring system. The premise: Get the highest score by doing moves around the rink. The host is Summer Sanders, who was once the host of Figure it Out on Nickelodeon, and is also the most annoying host. The shows contains many celebrities( most of which I never heard of)skating. After a while the show becomes very boring and dull. Like I said before, the judges are very familiar compared to the judges of American Idol. The old guy on the left resembles Simon(for hes very strict and only likes true taste), the girl in the center resembles Paula( for she is always kind to the contestants) and the guy on the right resembles Randy( for he always tries to act cool). It is just another copycat of the many other shows that have to do with this. Its not good and I don't recommend it.
