An old friend has returned to television, still as tone-deaf as ever. That’s right, American Idol is back on the air and since it’s a reality show that doesn’t use writers, we can at least look forward to a full season of that!
Even in a fully programmed season, American Idol is a ratings winner. Everyone watches it. The music industry watches; Hollywood watches; I’m sure folks like Gene Simmons, Billy Joel and Elton John watches; I’ll bet event George W. Bush and Nancy Pelosi watches; and you can bet Raymond Weil watches.
With so many favorite shows ending so soon, it’s nice to have a full season of a show like Idol to look forward to.
