2013 got off to a solid start for Lifetime. The network’s docusoap Dance Moms opened its third season last night with a series-best 2.8 million total viewers tuning in for the 90-minute season premiere. That is a 33% jump versus the show’s summer 2012 season premiere in June. Dance Moms also averaged 1.4 million adults 18-49 viewers (+27%) and 1.1 million women 18-49 (+26%). Immediately following Dance Moms, Lifetime aired a sneak peek of new docuseries Double Divas, set at Atlanta’s boutique LiviRae Lingerie. It got decent sampling, averaging 1.5 million total viewers, about half of its lead-in. Double Divas will premiere with back-to-back half-hour episodes next Thursday, January 10, at 10 PM, immediately following Project Runway All Stars.

Don’t know what’s more pathetic,,,the fact these moronic shows exist (KarTRASHIANS included) or that there are so many IDIOTS watching them.
Actually, what’s most pathetic is that you think anybody cares about your opinion of what’s moronic. Try adding something substantive or interesting, k?
Why would any mother subject her child to this woman? More important, why would anyone watch her?
The leader of the show is extremely irresponsible teacher for kids she is training as she replacing them with others kids trained by others teachers. Is this mean she cannot tech herself? No respect for your own job? She behave like sadist towards anyone around (kids, mothers). Is this simply stupidity or complete absent of intellect? Sorry for her and her behavior. Not like this show any more. To much verbal abuse of the kids.
I will not be watching any longer.I don’t care for the new people. I enjoyed watching the original girls mature and improve in their dancing. I am retired dance instructor,and was fun to watch. Abby has gotten too mean and taking credit for new girls talent. Just not right. I will be watching “Duck Dynasty” again!! Ha..ha.
I’m so disappointed in how downhill the show has gone since last season…too much anger, meanness, disrespect from all sides, and disfunctional favoritism coupled with deep rooted & ever growing grudges. Miss the feeling of teamwork & family…dance replaced with drivel expose & sensationalism (fights). Unbelievable how quickly the show’s redeemable & interesting qualities were replaced with ugliness.
have watched dance moms for a while and at the point i will no longer waste my time watching such a disrespectful, venomous, degrading teacher try to overcome her shortcomings, insecurities by belittling students who have so much potential. taking anger for moms out on students is unforgivable and deplorable. demeaning and beating down a child to offset her own shortcomings and insecurities is very sad.
i wish for the children continued success and for Abby i hope she fails miserably as she does not deserve success.
sincerely,
a former fan of dance moms
I can not stand the way Abby yells at the Children. She need to realized that they are kids and going to mess up.. And when she is mad at the parents she can be mad at the parents and not put it out on the children. Somebody need to let that lady know that her attitude is going to get her nowhere. It really pissed me off when she treated Chloe like she wasnt nothing.. Come on now.. It wasnt her vault to leave. Abby needs to get it right, before i bust up in there and treat her like herself..
