As much as I am a fan of figure skating and was glad Rebecca Budig (love her as Greenlee on All My Children) rightfully won the Golden Skates, I'm not sure whether Skating with the Stars was such a good idea. I do appreciate the experiment though (love Johnny Weir, Tanith Belbin and of course, Dick Button). The difference between this and Dancing with the Stars? It takes a lot more to make skating look good and exciting! (imho of course) It's like playing the piano versus the violin. Even though they are both instruments that require years to master, it's much easier to learn a presentable song on the piano (dancing) with no prior knowledge (at least each key corresponds with an exact note) than the same on the violin (skating) (it takes basics and practice just to play Mary Had a Little Lamb without screeching). So as interesting as this show has been, I'd still rather enjoy my ice-capades performed by professionals.
