Around the remote: ‘Dancing With the Stars: Athletes’ hits the ballroom
DON’T MISS: “Dancing With the Stars: Athletes” – Over the years, sports stars have performed impressively in the ballroom, so why not do a special all-athletes edition?

They’ll all have to get up to speed quickly because this will be an abbreviated four-week season. (8 p.m. Monday, ABC).
