What Time Is Dancing With The Stars Tonight

Okay, let's talk. Let's talk about Dancing With The Stars. And more importantly, let's talk about when it’s actually on.
The Ever-Elusive Air Time
Seriously, does anyone really know? It feels like a national guessing game. Each season, I’m scrambling.
I swear, they change the time just to mess with me. My DVR is constantly recording the wrong thing. Thanks, Dancing With The Stars!
Must Read
So, you're probably thinking, "Just Google it!" Trust me, I have. And sometimes, even Google is confused. Is it 8 PM? 9 PM? Who knows?!
The East Coast Conundrum
East Coasters, we have it slightly easier. Usually, it's a reliable 8 PM. But don't get too comfortable.
Special episodes? Theme nights? Suddenly, all bets are off. Expect the unexpected. Maybe it'll start at 7:30 PM just to throw everyone off.

West Coast Woes
West Coast friends, I feel your pain. You have to wait three whole hours! The suspense must be unbearable.
Think of it this way: you can avoid spoilers for a bit longer. Unless your nosy neighbor already tweeted who got eliminated.
My Unpopular Opinion (Don't Judge!)
Okay, brace yourselves. I have a confession. I don’t always watch it live.
Gasp! I know, I know. But sometimes, the temptation to fast-forward through the commercials is just too strong.

Plus, I can skip the dance routines that just aren't doing it for me. Sorry, not sorry.
And let’s be honest, the real entertainment is the judges’ commentary. Bruno Tonioli alone is worth the price of admission. That man is a national treasure.
The Dreaded Spoilers
Avoiding spoilers is a full-time job. Seriously, it requires ninja-like skills.

I mute all social media. I avoid conversations with overly enthusiastic fans. It's a dangerous world out there.
One wrong click and BAM! You know who got eliminated. The horror!
I even have to be careful when searching for the airtime! Google auto-completes can be treacherous. "Dancing With The Stars elim…" NOOOO!
The Solution (Maybe?)
Here's my radical proposal: Dancing With The Stars needs a universal time. Like, a worldwide broadcast.

Okay, maybe that's a bit much. But a consistent time slot would be amazing. Please, ABC, hear my plea!
Or, they could just release a schedule that is set in stone. No more surprises! Is that too much to ask?
Until then, we’re all stuck refreshing Google every week. And secretly hoping our DVR records the right episode. Good luck, everyone. And happy dancing! (Whenever it actually airs).
Remember: when in doubt, set your DVR to record for an extra hour. You can thank me later.
