 NEW YORK (AP) - You want to dance. You know you do. Lodged in your La-Z-Boy, you take flight with your fantasies as you watch "Dancing With the Stars." Unbound, you claim the ballroom floor and get yourself into the act.
In your dreams. But dreams fuel TV shows, along with the people who watch them. You watched plumpish, middle-aged John (Cliff the Mailman) Ratzenberger stay alive for six weeks. You've got to figure, anything is possible!
But there's more here than vicarious wish fulfillment. "Dancing" offers you release from a world in chronic disorder. This is a show that insists upon order — order even you can help impose.
