Title: Dancing With the Stars
Post by: Matt Ottinger on February 28, 2012, 11:51:18 AM: The new bunch has been announced. (http://"http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2012/02/dancing-with-the-stars-this-seasons-celebrities-will-be-.html") It's probably worth noting that I am typically very, very GOOD at pop culture stuff (even the current stuff) and I only recognized seven of the twelve names.

I had six. Was Driver your seventh?

No. Given that the other six are reasonably well-known to late Boomers, even if it's just as the answer to a trivia question (hello, Urkel!) I'm going to guess that Maria Menounos was my seventh.

I've been done with the show for about five years now- there's only so many times I can watch the foxtrot.

Why's that?

Counted seven I had heard of, though I couldn't pick them out of a line-up or anything.
