I HATE American Idol

This wasn't what I was initially going to post but, right as I was about to initiate a short post about how I am the child-carer supreme (will cover that in a sec) I noticed it was 8pm and time for one of my favorite shows, "Bones". Sadly, as seems to happen every other week, that hideously overplayed show A.I. is sucking up yet another 3 hours of television time and has postponed all good tv shows in it's path.

WHY DO WE NEED 5 HOURS OF AMERICAN IDOL A WEEK?

I just don't get it. I watched the first 2.5 seasons and just lost interest. There's only so many times you can hear some feeble-voiced teenager with a ridiculous hairdo kill your favorite pop-tunes before you want to scream "NO MORE PLEASE NO MORE!"

It doesn't matter how cute Ryan Seacrest is or how snappily dressed he is this evening, or even how much I enjoy watching Simon Cowell stereotype the British male as rude, egocentric, tactless, and unfeeling (which I find far more enjoyable than Paula Abdul, American Sycophant) - too much is just TOO MUCH.

Additionally, the show has scored minus points with me by continually screwing with Fox's prime-time schedule. House, Bones, Standoff... it's casualities have been numerous.

Hubbie is now channel-hopping for alternate solutions... looks like porn and some woman yapping about demonic posession. Where are the Christian right when you need them?

So, I'm without my weekly dose of David Boreanaz, he of Bones fame, previouslty of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame. It's a sad time. Please pause for a moment of silence..............................................................

Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway, what I came here to say is that I am the Baby Whisperer. See here

Honestly, that was it. Got a bit side-tracked.

Oh, it's even worse over here. The Aussie versions of all of these shows beyond wrong. I know, I know - you are thinking that nothing can be more wrong than American Idol. I can assure you, Australian Idol is. And so is Big Brother. The Biggest Loser. And all the other Aussie shite reality shows... Thank GOD there are some fantastic networks here (SBS and ABC namely) so we can avoid the fromage entirely!
