Did You Have “Dance Fever” Fever?

Pop Culture Preservation Society

In today's episode, we’ll be saving the competition show responsible for the rash of broken arms suffered in basements, backyards and TV rooms while trying the latest trick seen on the disco-era dance show … DANCE FEVER. This was the pop culture nugget that gave us Deney Terrio, a name no Gen Xer will ever forget. But it wasn't just the spandex and dance moves that kept us glued to the TV -- it was also the parade of celebrity judges, awkwardly pretending like they knew anything at all about disco and/or dancing. If you were good enough for Love Boat, you were good enough for Dance Fever! Which judge focused his scoring on the contestant's legs? Which one tried to do the bump with Motion -- but missed? Who/what is Motion anyway (and what famous athlete are they married to???)? And which judge literally barked their score for the audience? Listen today and find out!
