NextImg:TV Q&A: ‘Dancing with the Stars’ sashays back to ABC

You have questions. I have some answers.

Q: A lot of my friends and I are VERY upset that “Dancing with the Stars” moved from ABC to Disney+. There are so many shows that do not provide us with wholesome entertainment while “DWTS” did.

A: Then you will be pleased to learn that the show will be back on ABC in the fall, with simulcasts on Disney+ and next-day telecasts on Hulu. Several reports noted this will give ABC an unscripted program to fill time if the writers strike delays production of scripted shows for the fall.
There will be changes in the show. To the delight of many of my readers, Tyra Banks will no longer host. Alfonso Ribeiro, who co-hosted in Banks’ last season, will be back as host along with Julianne Hough. Judges are Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Julianne’s brother, Derek Hough. (Longtime judge Len Goodman stepped down from the show last year and passed away in April.)

Q: At the conclusion of “Modern Family,” there was no reference to the fact that the families had been the subject of a documentary. I expected the documentary maker would be revealed, the way “The Office” did. It seemed like a huge loose end.

A: When the long-running sitcom ended in 2020, co-creator Christopher Lloyd told EW.com that the show did not want to reveal the documentary crew. “Obviously, we started out in our pilot having that person be a character,” he said, but the show felt that would take the audience out of the family stories. “And then having lived in a mockumentary form without literally a crew for 250 episodes, it felt like it might’ve been too meta or too cute to maybe do that for us. … We were just using (the documentary) as a technique more than a sort of an actual reality.”

Q: I am wondering if “Only Murders in the Building” on Hulu is likely to be renewed.

A: The comedy-mystery starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez has a third season on the way. And during his tour with Short, Martin said the new season arrives on Aug. 8. Look for Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd in the cast.
