So, unless you've been living under a rock, you know that the latest season of American Idol is cranking up. I don't know about you, but I've never been a fan of the show. I don't mind the idol stars themselves(Kelly Clarkson is amazing), I just can't take the endless commercials of the same ol', same ol'. You know, some hapless, hopeless aspiring person wailing their ass off only to have Simon Cowell give some tired retort. Every time a commercial comes on, I have to go running for the remote to turn the volume down. As the season progresses, there will be footage of Simon & Randy fighting, Paula clapping like a mental patient, rows & rows of Coca-Cola cups, and Ryan Seacrest checking his hair. Plus, it's on like, 5 nights a week. When it's not a new show, it's a repeat of a previous episode.
Unfortunately, this show is such a ratings monster that even other networks will advertise the show. For instance, it was featured on the Today show this morning. So that means I have to see the blooper reels on NBC too. I guess the real reason that I'm upset about the show is that Fox has some other great shows (the Simpsons, 24, Family Guy, and Prison Break), that I'd rather see aired just as frequently as they air American Idol.
Yeah, dog!

i just get pissed that they stretch a 45 minute show into 2 hours. It's bullshit.
