I just found out that in the theme song, it's "living on the dance floor" and not "leave it on the dance floor," so I am feeling kind of bummed right now.

Start your new year off... right? With Abby Lee Miller and the titular moms back for a third season. Despite the fun and creative Flashdance homage commercials, we're guessing the actual show will be more of the same nonsense that has kept us watching for the previous two seasons. Abby screaming at small children and mothers. The mothers screaming at each other. And maybe, if we're real lucky, Cathy acting like a total idiot. Oh, and perhaps some dancing thrown in for good measure.

Finally, we get to watch Abby Lee Miller pick on kids from all over the country, not just the same old thoroughly-traumatized group.

When the sounds of cursing mothers, crying children and a gravel-voiced dance instructor fill the air, it's time for Nationals.

Hey, I've got an idea: Let's take a reality show that's got some potential to be entertaining and stick it in Miami for a season! I'm sure that will make it quite different from all of the other reality shows that have tried the same exact thing (and failed miserably).

Our five favorite words of 2012: Dance Moms Season 2 Premiere.

You guys, I don't want Dance Moms to be over. I mean, I guess it isn't, considering that it was picked up for another season and everything... but I don't want it to go away now. I would really prefer if it we got to see the insane force that is Abby Lee every single week carrying her girls and their mothers into more and more misadventures. Sigh.
