DANCING WITH THE STARS/ SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE

ABC/FOX, 8 ET/PT

Two TV dance shows cross paths tonight, with ABC’s far more popular Dancing arriving just as SYTYCD departs. There was a time when Fox’s finale would have been the obvious choice, but this season’s run — with its confusing, oddly condescending Stage vs. Street format — was so disappointing, the best choice might be to steer clear, if only to protect our memories of what the show used to be back when it was not afraid to champion art, and when the judging panel did not whipsaw between the unpleasant and the incoherent.
