Former Sitcom Stars to Compete on ABC's Dancing with the Stars Season 3; Fall 2006 Syndication

ABC announced this morning on Good Morning America the celebrities for the next installment of the mega-hit Dancing with the Stars. We are proud to mention that a few former sitcom stars will compete, too! Mario Lopez of Saved by the Bell fame will be competing. Mario played Slater on the teen sitcom. Former child star Joe Lawrence (AKA Joey Lawrence) will also be in it. Joe starred in sitcoms such as Gimme a Break! and Blossom. He was also on Half & Half recently. other stars include L.A. Law's Harry Hamlin, TV/movie star Vivica A. Fox, reality TV star Shanna Moakler, TV talk show host Jerry Springer and NFL great Emmitt Smith. To view the full list of 11 celebs, click here. Dancing with the Stars airs Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. starting Set. 12 on ABC.

Pretty soon the fall will start and that means we will all be browsing TVGuide or TitanTV to see what our local channels are doing. Some locals will start changing on Sept. 5, but many will make their changes the weeks of Sept. 11 and 18. Sitcom wise, premiering Sept. 11 on locals are reruns of Still Standing; premiering September 18 on locals are reruns of According to Jim, Scrubs, One on One and Reba. Then there are the weekly drama/reality shows, like CSI: Miami, American Idol, The Shield and Without a Trace. They all will air once or twice a week on weekends. Then there are the new talk shows and court shows. Premiering the week of Sept. 11 are Dr. Keith Ablow, The Greg Behrendt Show, Judge Maria Lopez and Cristina's Court. Week of Sept. 18 will see Rachel Ray and Megan Mullally. I have posted most of the NYC info on all these shows. Click here to view this. You too can post info on your locals on that thread. I have posted WPIX's full fall line-up, and soon will have WWOR and WNYW. So keep checking!
