American Idol - season starts
OK, the sad git that I am, I admit, I am addicted to American Idol.
Anyone else watching? Or am I the only saddy on this board tonight? Actually, I think it beats anything else on American TV for the whole year but that's not really saying very much. You have to admit, add a touch of British to any program (even Simon) and you get some watchability to American TV. Most (maybe all) successful american shows have actually come from Britain or overseas but rarely is this mentioned by the media ;) It more often than not surprises my American colleagues when I gloat about this fact :) Anyway, I have my replay/tivo set (I cannot watch with adverts) and I'm ready for a beer and a sing song!! :beer: |

Yep - I'm taping it, then watching it later when the trouble gets in from work. We watch it more for the horrendous reprobates than the talented metrosexuals :D

Re: American Idol - season starts
Its only good at the start I think when all the real freaks are auditioning. Once they get the shoe its just not the same.
On the subject of crap american tv - well I tend to agree in the main but on sunday I started watching 24 for the first time ever and it was superb. Quality viewing. |

Its into its 5th series now and from what i've seen of the latest one it would be well worth watching the others on dvd. The whole series is filmed in real-time ie 24 episodes each representing 1 hour. |

The whole series is filmed in real-time ie 24 episodes each representing 1 hour. I live in NJ and due to the bad weather this weekend the cable service has been down. I am sooooo dissappointed that I missed 4 hrs of 24. I e-mailed Fox asking if they would rerun the first 4 hrs as lots of homes in NJ have been without TV, surprise, surprise, I haven't heard back from them. I love 24 and was really looking forward to the new series, does anyone know of a way to view these episodes? |

I watched it on DVD just before the 2nd series was aired it was superb and got me hooked onto all the subsequent series. |
