Another year, another upset. Yawn. I’m done with 24, Lost, and American Idol. Thank goodness the former two had the common courtesy to quit while they were behind.
I’m so bored with it that I can’t even manage tracking down a public domain image on Wikipedia, or typing out hyperlinks for the whole “by Fred, follow us on Facebook” nonsense. The show did in the first season what it set out to do: create a pop sensation. Now it’s more like a $300 bottle of wine with the cork still in: it has peaked, declined, and smells too much like vinegar to open. Even one of the show’s creators is leaving.
Someone tell us again with a straight face how this is the second golden age of television?
