LB: "Warning: This show sucks. And blows. Seriously."


Next week's American Idol results show is running 1 hour instead of

30 minutes. Depending on how you are set up, this may cause

unexpected conflicts in the Wed 8:00p-8:30p time slot or conversely

cause AI not to record.


Wed 04/30 8:00p- 9:00p FOX American Idol

Good grief! There's only 5 contestants left! How are they going to stretch the result of the vote to a whole frikkin' hour?

I'm I the only person who wants to post this comment in every 'warning' thread about AI?

According to Seacrest 23.1 million voters disagree.


Maybe you should make that your new .sig

Yes, it's crap like this that gets quality shows cancelled.


What' the old saying - no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. (something like that)

I was just thinking... Simon's right, the contestants are stale, every one doing the same thing is a different style... and then I though... better contestants than last time. No AJ or the rest of the crappy ones. And then I thought, they haven't done those stupid "who are they" segements this time around. Maybe that's what they've saved up for an entire hour results show? That will be a quick watch, skip, skip, skip, skip. =)

PT Barnum is the author of that great quote on underestimating the intelligence of the American public.


George Carlin (another genius) put it something like this: Think of how dumbthe average American is. By definition, half of the country is dumber.

Yet another 1-hour results show. Wish whomever stretches these things

out was available to augment term papers back in the day.

IMHO - I'll be soooooo happy when these reality tv/star search crap shows go out of style. I am so sick of these shows.

 

[danc8379]

Don't hold your breath.....I read that NBC alone has 14 reality shows in their new Fall lineup. I was hoping they'd go the way of the prime-time game show fad, but they appear to have a bit more staying power.

 

[RandyL712]

I like this show.

Good point. The product placement in this show is annoying, anyone can FF to the last 2 minutes and see the results if they even care.


Keep this in mind, Fox canceled the 2 time Emmy winning "Family Guy" to put this garbage on the air... Enjoy!

Good point. Am I the only one who is annoyed like heck with the product placement? If anyone really cares anyway, watch the last 2 minutes of the show to see who they kick off, or don't kick off, as it was in the case a few weeks ago, what a waste.


Keep this in mind... In order for Fox to show this crap, they canceled 2 time Emmy winning "Family Guy." So enjoy this awesome "reality show!" What a joke.


(Sorry for double post, they said there were server problems)
