The Anti-Idol movement

There is an Internet campaign to change the results of American Idol. We're not quite sure if Vote For The Worst is attempting to change the course of the popular reality show for humor or some higher social commentary, but their mission is clear: Vote for the worst contestant every week. For the past few weeks that has been Scott Savol. Scott received the third highest votes last night, ...

That 70s Show: 2120 So. Michigan Avenue

I don't think I'll miss Eric next year. Topher's character hasn't grown a bit on this show (I know, it's just a sitcom) and every week it seems like the same storyline. Eric is a dumbass, does something to make up for it, everyone's happy in the end. It is the typical sitcom plot. The other characters aping the Miss America contest with Fez and Kelso was pretty funny and is based on the ...

American Idol: Americans are idiots

As our overseas readers already know, American voters are idiots. I mean American Idol voters are idiots. Constantine's exit shows how the top reality show is truly flawed. We should be voting off our least favorite. That way Scott would have gone home weeks ago. Constantine faced what others have, voters thought he was safe so they didn't vote. He also picked a bad song. That doesn't mean ...

The ultimate TV faux pas

Last night I was rushing around the house to get ready for going to a Cubs game (they lost to the Reds 11-9). The one thing I forgot of course was to TiVo American Idol and Scrubs. At some point in the first inning I turned to my better half, the AI fanatic, and it hit me. I had forgotten to tape AI. Oh the rage that quickly boiled in that Wrigley Field seat. Luckily she got on the horn and ...

Bravo plans more original/reality series

The end is nigh. Reality TV has hit its breaking point officially (and for the umpteenth time). Bravo's new slate of summer programming includes the Bobby Brown reality show Being Bobby Brown. It will also feature his wife Whitney Houston. If there were ever two celebrities that were more of a joke I don't know who they are. Also in development are reality shows from Howie Mandel, Kathy ...

ABC threatened by Fox over Idol investigation

We told you about the Primetime Live investigation into Fox's mega-popular American Idol last week. Now, the Drudge Report says Fox has threatened ABC with legal action if they broadcast the report next Wednesday during Sweeps. One ABC exec called it a “mauling.” The show will center around a number of ex-contestants who say very bad things about Paula Abdul and her interactions ...

Will & Grace back for No. 8

That's right Will & Grace fans, your best friends are returning for an eight season. The cast and producers have all signed on and the actors actually got salary bumps after earlier reports said there might be paycuts ahead. NBC must be so intent on keeping a critical and often watched sitcom in the line-up they're willing to do anything. Attention Scrubs actors, ask for a raise ...

ABC still dominates Sunday night ratings

In a story we're tired of writing, ABC again has topped the other networks in Sunday night ratings despite a “best of” version of Desperate Housewives. That special drew 23.7 million viewers and gave Grey's Anatomy a lead-in for another record showing of 18 million viewers. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition also won its timeslot with 16.7 million viewers. The surprise of the night was the ...
