"Dancing With the Stars" is more popular now than ever. Fueled in part by high-profile contestants such as "Baywatch" star Pam Anderson and reality TV mom Kate Gosselin, ABC's reality sensation brought in the biggest premiere numbers of its ten-season history on Monday night. The show averaged nearly 24 million viewers for the two hours, thoroughly trouncing every other show Monday night.
The next-closest show in terms of viewers was "Two and a Half Men" for CBS with 14.4 million, proving that the Charlie Sheen scandal hasn't put too big a dent into its ratings.
In the slideshow below, feel free to check out the reason why this season of "Dancing" has the potential to be the highest-rated in the show's history -- there may be fewer contestants this season, but the ones on board are popular enough to draw in plenty of viewers.
