Kill American Idol

A friend of mine just brought this site to my attention. http://www.votefortheworst.com/ How awesome is that?? I would be so giddy if this brought about the end of American Idol. I can only hope at least. I highly doubt it would really kill the show, as a matter of fact I think the show is on a steady decline leading to a slow and prolonged death anyway. I just hope that this guy ends up winning. That would be so damn awesome. The last few winners have sucked beyond sucking anyway, so there is no way it can hold whatever popularity it DOES have. I do know this, I haven't watch that show in a LONG time. The boycott has been in full effect for me for quite some time.

The only big problem is that if it DOES go off the air, Fox will just replace it with some other crappy reality/game show. I can only assume it would mean yet another version of deal or no deal. Has there been a more boring/annoying show ever on TV?? Here is a pretty thorough rundown of that show: Pick a number.. ok pick 5 more... Deal or no deal?? ok pick 4 more numbers... Deal or no deal??? now... pick 3 MORE NUMBERS.. DEAL OR NO DEAL?!?!?!? AND IT NEVER ENDS..

How is this broadcast during a prime time network time slot? isn't this something that should be on in the hour of vacuum between 7 an 8 eastern ?? you know.. the wheel of fortune, jeopardy, Access Hollywood etc. time slot. Or maybe like 10 am-1 when all the other game shows are on. What the hell is this? why are they doing this to me?? It's no wonder the networks ratings suck.. who wouldn't rather just watch yet another episode of MXC on Spike than this crap.

And don't even get me started on the high level of suck on the actual scripted shows on the networks.. whats up with shows like Lost and 24 constantly playing distracting music throughout the show? There are frequencies in there that make my dog get up and leave the room.. and you know, I kinda want to follow her. Watching her drag her ass across the carpet has turned into a more entertaining enterprise lately.

That's just sad.. it really is.
