8 p.m. nears.....Fox 61 flickers but no one pays it much mind.....anyway, its been that way since 6 lest we change the channel and forget to go back.....dinner's been scarfed down....dirty plates stacked in the sink....the microwave oven cools.....lights dim....a family cuddles up on a couch.....shhhhh.....ITS SHOWTIME!!!
American Idol is on!
Goddamn, bad is good, isn't it? The mumbling woman forgetting the words (all the words!)......the Cowardly Lion growling (or was it Chewbacca?).....Apollo Creed singing opera......the 16-year-old imitating Chris Dautry, then imitating Chris Dautry doing Abba, then imitating Chris Dautry doing Barry Manilow......the juggler whose undyingly supportive family doesn't have to heart to tell him he sucks, or that its a singing contest, not a talent contest......the vocal coach with limited vocal abilities.....the Urban Amish guy......the Woody-like Cowboy brutalizing Johnny Cash......and the Shrek-looking woman singing Freddie Mercury.
Priceless!
We'll be there again tonight for another two hours of cringing and laughing at Randy and Simon's faces, won't we? Surely Seattle can provide the freaks that Minneapolis can.
Alas, though....I'm sure to peter out once all the "entertainers" have left the show.

I missed it, unfortunately. I was busy writing another diatribe, but I'm all over it tonight.
I love watching people suck. Nothing better than unintentional comedy.
exactly!
