[quote="TGB!":baecf][quote:baecf]Oh so that must not have been a 30 min preshow about american idol "live from the red carpet at 7:30 pm before the 2 hour finale" making a 2:30 hr block of american idol last night. Couple that with the hour singing finale tuesday and Holy fucking shit 3+ hours(math is a valuable tool my friend) [/quote:baecf]

[quote:baecf]Rather than a hour commitment a week it turned into a 3: 30 hour a week commitment then the final show turned into a 3 hour extravaganza[/quote:baecf]

Uhm. Right. Look - if you dont like the show, thats aces - but dont bullshit about how "overkill" it is when it aint. As the show goes on - it progressively airs less (3 days a week for the final 24 - one hour for the females, one hour for the males and one 30 minute result show - honestly how ELSE can you structure this thing and not have people get burned out after 2 hours of performances; and finally twice a week - one hour for performances and 30 minutes results).

Noone "forces" you to watch anything. When AI is on - so are about 100 other programs for you to chose from.[/quote:baecf]

agreed. they toned it down which is terrific. I never meant to seem like I bashed the show, hell I watched it. I say congrats that an older gray haired white guy won over the pop princess. Id say it was unexpected knowing the history of the vote.
