Steady numbers but low in the demo.

It was good strike filler, but it may not have done this well had the CBS comedies been on with new episodes.

I believe it's done well enough to get a summer cycle as well, giving ABC several reality show choices this summer.

or it may be used next year between DWtS again.

Smartest move is to just cancel it. Don't overexpose this Dancing thing that's working so well. ABC has plenty of other reality shows (perhaps Oprah's show) to fill in at midseason. Its not like the Bachelor couldn't wait for midseason either to air in one of those timeslots. ABC needs to learn from its Millionaire debacle.

I'm talking primetime and don't act like the end of Millionaire didn't kill ABC 6 or 7 years ago. Overexposing Dancing will only create a hole on Mondays and Tuesdays (kind of like they have now without Dancing on Mondays only year round).
