The crappiest show ever invented will probably get more viewers that it deserves:
NEW YORK (AP) — “American Idol,” for all its success, is not above tinkering — especially after last year’s revolving door of celebrity mentors and Sanjaya Malakar’s improbable run.
Not TOO much tinkering, though. Why mess with a trusty formula?
The Fox ratings superpower returns for its seventh season on Tuesday, and will doubtless dominate January through May as it did last year and the year before that. It could even attract a bigger audience in 2008, thanks to the Hollywood writers strike.
Yes, just fabulous.
Yet another opportunity to add crappy pop singers to the airwaves.
Thank you, but never mind.
But I’ll take Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holliday in a death match against Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, and Taylor Hicks any day. Heck, add in Carrie Underwoood and whoever won that other season of that show.
Personally, I think Frank would take all three five of them out before finishing his first Jack Daniels.
