Abdul Back On CBS

Paula Abdul is returning to the judges table as part of CBS' "Got To Dance," a new prime time talent competition series to run midseason. Abdul will serve as the lead judge, executive producer, creative partner, mentor and coach on "the series, which Shine/Reveille based on a UK hit.

The competition show is billed as broadcast's first all-ages all-genres dance series -- "from ballroom to break dance, bhangra to ballet, and tap to tango." A wide variety of acts will compete for a panel of judges, with viewers getting to vote for their favorites during the semifinals and finals. "Dance" will mark the fourth major network to have a dance-competition series, joining ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance" and NBC's "Got Talent."
