Members collinwho Posted April 6, 2007 Members Share Posted April 6, 2007 The problem with American Idol is that they pre-empt absolutely everything for it. Sometimes it is on 3-4 times a week. I could easily avoid it if it were just a standard 30-60 minute slot once a week, but it isn't. I don't want to have to check the listings every day just to try and avoid 1 show.

Members collinwho Posted April 6, 2007 Members Share Posted April 6, 2007 Also, I'm jonesing for the season 1 DVD of Heroes. I only saw the first two episodes and they rocked! But I prefer not to get the DVD and watch on my own time with shows like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talentless hacks? There are a few I don't like, but most are at least solid, and a few are VERY good! And the BAND (Rickey Minor's band) is always good!!!

Members burdizzos Posted April 6, 2007 Members Share Posted April 6, 2007 Somehow, I've managed to not see any AI installments this season. I have no idea who is on the show, but I keep hearing about how Howard Stern is somehow keeping some {censored}ty performer on the show or some crap.

They'll just change the format. They will probably have a panel of 50 or so industry insiders whose votes will count for 50% and then the popular vote will be worth the other 50%. This gives the impression that the voice of the people still matters while preventing the election of a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your television not have an off button? I get this vision of a man trapped in a house with a television that chases him around and won't turn off.

Members bassplayinguy Posted April 6, 2007 Members Share Posted April 6, 2007 I keep hearing how good Heroes is. I havnt seen any episodes yet, but I do plan on buying the first season when it comes out just off of word of mouth on how good this show is.

You have to watch it in order as every episode builds off the last. It's one continuous story. I initially wasn't planning on watching it, but I DVR'ed the first 6 episodes when they did a marathon on Sci-Fi and that got me hooked on the show. Definitely worth watching, it's been good so far. That and the new BattleStar Galactica are about all I watch except for the occasional History Channel show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lokidecat Posted April 6, 2007 Members Share Posted April 6, 2007 Heroes is good but it's got a very soap-opera layout. So many intersecting storylines going on that you only get like about 5 minutes of advancement on all of them (sometimes some are missing). I dunno, it's a fun story, an interesting concept and I'll keep watching it. It's one of only 3 shows I turn on my idiot box for: 1) Numb3rs2) House3) Heroes That's it.

That is not how it was meant. I see it as a short story, Twilight Zone style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
