Hey Fox

Kreth · 03-10-2009, 07:13 PM

Yes, I'm talking to you, bigwigs at Fox. How about you quit putting an interesting show like Fringe on hiatus to feature America's Idle? Believe it or not, there's quite a few of us who don't give a flying **** who's going to be the next big over-produced pop star, and would rather watch a show that, I dunno, actually requires thought.

Proof that the "average viewer" is a moron, IMO. I don't understand how crap like Idol, Scrubs, and (ugh) Worst Week can be so popular...

Tell me about it man!! I love Fringe, and just thought the other day damn it's been awhile since the last episode. I say we start a petition..

24 million AI viewers vs... 2 so far?

Whee · 03-10-2009, 07:19 PM

3! Have one episode left on the dvr, I don't want to watch cuz then there will be none left.

Mugen910 · 03-10-2009, 07:37 PM

Or the avg viewer is between the ages of 12-22.

FYI...I love Scrubs...they make me laugh, but I do agree that American Idol is not fun to watch after the bad singers are done auditioning.

I love watching the first 2-3 episodes, but after that...

Kreth · 03-10-2009, 09:48 PM

I think Scrubs got on my radar a few years ago, when NBC (IIRC) cancelled a promising show called The Lyon's Den starring Rob Lowe. I think they were broadcast head to head.

I stand corrected....12-22 male/female and then 23 to infinite for women...I was listen to the AM radio shows and everyone that called in on the topic of American Idol was a woman...come to think of it..the only one I hear talk about that show in the office is a woman that is 40+

If not before, then Idol definitely jumped the shark when that tool Seacrest tried to high five the blind guy.

You mean I missed something like that? Oh man that would have been great! I guess that's would be the one reason I would have to watch in what seems like 52 seasons.
