Has anyone else made the mistake of watching this show? I watched the last 15 minutes of this awful show and it was the longest 15 minutes of my life. The show is hosted by Joey Lawrence and is on the ABC network. I believe its about famous people learning to dive. I remember seeing Kareem Abdul Jabar and Louie Anderson diving. I don't recognize any of the other actors. Greg Louganis is the trainer of these actors. Please tell me I wasn't the only person to waste 15 minutes of my time on this show.

Guilty.
I can't believe anything that bad would appear on network TV.

Ah, the US version of the British Splash TV show has been released, we at least had Tom Daley running the original version.

A C list celebrity has to accept all offers or get forgotten, however badly they are likely to perform and how embarrassing it is for them. They are not always young and fit and able to cope.

OK, I admit I have watched it. I am a swimmer, not a diver. I took an 'advanced' swim class at a local college some years ago, and the instructor asked us if there was anything we'd like to try. I said I just wanted to be able to do a simple dive from the 1-meter board. She had a guy from the college diving team come to the next class, and he worked with us (only about 5 in the class) for a solid hour. For non-divers such as myself, even a simple dive was extremely difficult to learn. I don't care if the divers on "Splash" are C-list - I respect the hell out of them for trying!

I am comforted by the knowledge that I am not the only person that has questionable taste for some TV shows. I will give all the props in this world to those folks who are trying to dive. I do not know of any one thing that could help this show out short of starting over fresh.

After seeing Louie Anderson in the previews, I passed. (thank God he didn't wear a speedo)
