Wait, we're supposed to be ashamed of that?
I'm not saying you SHOULD be ashamed, but a person who might be ashamed might think that a PBS alternative is more high-brow. (Even though it's not.)

re: the first dancer.
I just watched "Inception" last night, when I heard the first notes of the song, I looked up, a bit alarmed, checking for reality.
