    Skating with Celebrities, Skating with Celebrities is an ok show. But if it comes back for a second season it will need some fine tuning. It dosn't seem like a special show to watch. Although i do recomend this show to people who like to watch dancing with the stars

  • It's lame, but it shows how challenging figure skating can be.

    I'm a HUGE fan of figure skating, I practically watch every event Involving this beautiful sport, however, I didn't really like this show. For a regular fan like me with a semi-expert eye it looks so amateurish and the only entertainment I got was from the goofs and child play not from the skating.
    Nonetheless, I think it was beneficial in the sense that it opened people's eyes to the difficulty and beauty of this sport and got it a bit of appreciation by the public.
    Wanna see some real skating? watch the world championships, keep an eye out for Evgeny Plushenko in the men's competition, he's way ahead of his time truly talented.moreless

    I like to ice skate so I decided to try this show and it was pretty good. I feel its been done before not the skating part but the judges and the competiton (only better). I like to ice skate so I did like this show. I also like the teams they put together.

    I admit, I watched a few episodes before I got the idea that this show was rather boring, especially after watcing the olympics. These olympic skaters put their entire heart, soul and life into training, and it bothers me that in a few short weeks these celebrites think they are great...I think that it's a slap in the face to our hard working and dedicated figure skaters.
