Even though LL Cool J and Chris O’Donnell won’t be dancing themselves for Come Dance With Me, thinking about dancing with their own kids inspired the series.
Come Dance With Me also puts CBS on the map for broadcast networks with dance competition shows.
NBC has World of Dance, ABC has Dancing with the Stars (which will soon premiere a new season), and Fox has So You Think You Can Dance, although SYTYCD had to shelve the season that was intended to air in summer 2020.
