Blah - American Idol.
There are definately better singers in Johnstown compared to what I have seen tonight.

I can't believe some of the ones they put through to Hollywood....there were maybe 4 good ones, the rest were all just meh....

I have no interest in watching that show. Probably never will also.

Ditto. They just want you to sound like everybody else. The winner always has that big, bland, toneless voice they seem to love, and the more you sound like Whitney/Stevie Wonder, the longer you stay on. I thought this show was cheesy when it was called "Star Search."
Anyone notice how winning is sort of a kiss of death, but coming in second or third adds months to your time in the spotlight beyond the show? Imagine going through all that, and six months later, you're in a lower-tier Vegas show, with 10 of the other Idol-winners.

I like some of Chris Daughtry's music, and the best thing that happened to him was not winning American Idol.

Have never really been a fan of Idol or any other 'reality' show...however I do catch myself watching "Dog" or "Gene" and even Ghost Hunters....I couldnt stand Simon and I hate secrest even more.....

I've never been a fan of the reality genre, but I catch myself enjoying a few now...
Top Gear is actually my favorite new show of the last few years. The British version mostly featured exotics and luxury cars. Our version had a shootout of old rusty pickup trucks (Chevy won), and once filled a Buick Roadmaster wagon full of water (1500gal) and drove it on an off-road course. That's genius TV to a redneck like me! And the Emmy goes to...

I like Storage Wars, too, and never thought I would. It's about a bunch of douchey people who go around to self-storage unit auctions, and bid on stuff. They're soooo cheesy, you have to giggle, and they always have blurred-out items, too. "There's always a dildo in these lockers. Always."

Others I liked included Swamp People, Mantracker, American Pickers, American Restoration, The Colony, and one that only aired once about a dude with dreadlocks who showed us how to get air-conditioning after the apocalypse. That one was pretty cool, but where do you go with knowledge like that, unless there actually is an apocalypse?

Pans: Survivor was finished after the 3rd season, American Idol and it's clones (America's Got Talent, Think You Can Dance, etc.) have surrendered the entertainment industry to junior-high girls and old women; and please, Jesus, no more Real Housewives of Bulls' Creek, or any other city.

Johnny, Top Gear isn't really a reality show, per se. I watch that as well. I also watch American Chopper, Deadliest Catch and Ax Men.

I do enjoy the string of recent (How much is my old junk worth?) TV shows like American Pickers, American Restoration, Storage Wars, Pawn Stars, Auction Kings, Hardcore Pawn, Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction, and Oddities (this one has some of the strangest things).

After all the huge hype about Top Gear being such a great international hit TV show, I watched a couple times and was quite disappointed.

I definitely don't want to watch any shows following stupid people around in their lives who have no talent for anything like Jersey Shore, Housewives of ???, The Kardashians, etc. What a waste of TV time!

Maybe they should have Jersey Shore, PA. The town that is not in New Jersey nor at the shore.

Oddities is must-watch TV, if you like freakshows. We've never missed it.

Johnny,

Did you see the episode with the guy who bought the straitjacket on Oddities? Reminded me of a cross between Peter Lorrie and Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates

Here he is. They walk among us!

John,

Does that mean we can call you Moby "Dick"?

Duaine,

You can call me anything you would like, but only you.

Actually I prefer my official moniker, "King of Northern Cambria", however, few have used it recently. No, now that I think about it, I am the only one to have uttered it - ever, as far as I know.
Oh well, I'll have to do some promotion.

I liked Pawn Stars. Watching people try to pass off the coolest...and stupidest stuff ever. Like the guy who bought an aftermarket pick guard and had it signed by Chuck Berry then put it on a Strat and wanted $3,500 for it.
And the owner offered him $150 LOL.

Another one I like is Pitchmen.

"Is that a sssssstraaaaaaitjaaaacket?" It sends me into fits of laughter everytime I hear it. The midget escape artist was classic... I swear at least some of it is completely manufactured for TV. The guy that wanted an electric-chair seemed like an actor I've seen before.

I was actually kinda laughing at the fact that the first 10 minutes of the premiere was just looking at a black screen. I never could figure out why FOX and NBC never have normal broadcasts...NBC keeps flipping between a boxed 4:3 and then the next commercial is a zoomed in 4:3. FOX however (especially within the Simpsons/Family Guy/How I Met Your Mother block) is so terrible in broadcast quality all across the gambit. Skips terribly, locks up...just unbelieveably horrible.
