Idol Chatter 2-12-08: Bigger Results Shows!
 | Collins: Clyde, here. Just a quick news bit about everyone's favorite unstoppable television juggernaut, American Idol. |
"Fox will expand the American Idol weekly results show to one hour each week, beginning Wednesday, March 12 at 9 p.m. ET."
| Collins: Click the link to see the full article by Mediaweek's John Consoli. Pretty exciting, at first glance -- the real test will be how well producers will be able to fill an hour-long results show that ultimately boils down to wasting 59 minutes and 50 seconds of your life. In my humble opinion. Then again, maybe I'm wrong. (Unlikely as that may be.) Perhaps they'll find great, fascinating content for the Wednesday night shows? |
| Collins: You know, like that sort of thing. We'll probably be treated to more in-depth features on the contestants' backgrounds, as promised by producers for Season 7. Fewer guest judges means fewer time-eating concert performances, though...time will just have to tell what will take their place! It's also a bit of a slap in the face for upstart FOX program The Return of Jezebel James, which was scheduled for an Idol Bump season premier at 9:30PM on March 12th. Sorry, Jez...best of luck on Friday nights. See you in Hollywood, where we begin to weed out the hopeless losers from the Top 24. |
