Dance Dance Revolution Spawns TV Show 47
lfescalante writes to mention a unique synergistic melding of television and gaming: A Dance Dance Revolution TV show. From the article: "Dance Revolution, said all parties involved, is a live-action television series based on Konami's extremely popular video game franchise Dance Dance Revolution. Notes published by DIC and Konami describe this series as one in which 'tweens' and teens bring their freshest moves to this sensational new dance competition where teams of dancers display their innovative routines."

Didn't your last statement demonstrate that you don't need a certain amount of plot for a TV show to be successful? (because American Idol is successful, you can't say it's not)

In fact there have been a lot of otherwise plotless shows lately that take the "audience votes someone off every week" or "remaining players vote someone off every week" approach to manufactoring tension. It can be very powerful; shows otherwise completely uninteresting can at least borrow some sort of tension from it, like those "Who Will Be The Next Host Of Show X?" contests.

Arguably, they've made some very cool ads lately...

Even if you don't like DDR (like me) I suggest checking it out briefly, if only for the distinctive artwork.
PS. I am not affiliated with the comic, DDR, or the secret service. Especially not DDR.
