TiVo. American Idol. My friends.

I have TiVo. I love TiVo. TiVo is my friend.

TiVo has allowed me to get hooked on certain shows that I didn't really get into before. See, I don't actually watch a whole lot of TV. And there are a few shows that I never really got into until I had TiVo. One such show is American Idol.

I am, only somewhat ashamedly, an American Idol fan. Now, please understand, the typical one hour episode of Idol has about twelve minutes of good TV and the rest is filler. That's where TiVo shines - see, TiVo lets me fast forward past the commercials, lousy stuff, and boring moments.

But now, here's the thing: Every male singer on the show is either compared with Clay Aiken or Bo Bice. Mostly Clay Aiken. And I don't get that. Clay seems pretty much destined to a career singing in Branson and we're all supposed to be excited that someone is the "next Clay Aiken"? Isn't it pretty clear that none of us care about the first Clay Aiken, let alone the "next" one?

Anyway, I dig Idol. Mostly, I think that Simon is a bit mean spirited but mostly right. Dude has good ears.

This is why I don't post much. I have so very little to say.
