I haven't watched a minute of the show, and today actually looked on my schedule to see if it's still on, and I came across the description for the show. It said this "American Idol starring Ellen Degeneres and some other people". Haha...that's classic.
25 million people watch that show on Tuesday and Wednesday. It's the two most watched shows on television.
Wife got me hooked on season 2, haven't missed an episode since. I like it. I will say, that this has been the weakest season so far and I hate Ellen!
Oh, I dunno. It just seems to me that shows like this, and celebrity dancing, celebrity bowling... seem so idiotic. But you're right- I haven't seen an episode, so I guess I'm just being judgmental.
