Latest episode clacks for this show:

American Idol – The “Magnificent” Seven

Quentin Tarantino on American Idol. Because … nothing says American Idol like Quentin Tarantino. (Or Steve Van Zandt, for that matter. At least Van Zandt is in a band, though.) This was a painful and dreary American Idol episode folks, completely devoid of anything close to something watch-worthy. You could have missed this week’s segment […]

Ratings Clack – Bad numbers everywhere on my schedule

Man … last week was just a bloodbath in the ratings. With the exception of Thursday night, it was bad news for all of the shows at the top of my list for every night. Kings on Sunday, Chuck and Heroes on Monday, Reaper on Tuesday, Better Off Ted and Lost on Wednesday, and Dollhouse […]

Reality Clack – Celebrity Apprentice, Survivor, Dancing With the Stars, American Idol

It was a week of controversy on some of the shows in the reality television genre. After all, there’s the Joan Rivers and Clint Black hatefest on The Celebrity Apprentice, not to mention the oddly-reasoned firings of two of the celebrities on the show. David Alan Grier’s very … um … eloquent exit from Dancing […]

American Idol: The Top Mediocre Eight and results show

Michael’s back Guest-clacking about American Idol again…. (This entry didn’t make it to yesterday’s posting. It is provided here, none the worse for wear … combined with Michael’s results show commentary, so read on….) *sigh* An hour (more, actually) of so-so so-ness from everyone Tuesday night. You can’t call’em high-lights and you can’t call’em low-lights, […]

Ratings Clack – NBC has something to cheer about…

… finally. Much of last week could be described as more of the same for the folks over at NBC. But this particular Thursday was different. Not only because of ER taking over the entire night. It also brought a clear win for the night to the network, calling to mind the Must See TV […]

American Idol elimination show – a three-ring circus

Michael Noble’s back Guest-clacking for us again, after sharing his thoughts on last week’s Idol performances…. Last Wednesday’s Idol Elimination Show. A Three Ring Circus. Complete with clown acts. And impersonations. Don’t forget Ringmaster Seacrust and The Performing Judges. Plus animals. (Or animal likenesses, rather.) A pink bubbly piano. Marionettish performances amazing only in that […]

Megan Joy is this year’s Sanjaya

Watching Megan Joy butcher a song as great as “Turn Your Lights Down Low” made me realize she has a lot in common with another Idol contestant from season 6: Sanjaya Malakar. First, we have what I like to call MHPD, or Multiple Hair Personality Disorder. While I don’t think we’ll be seeing Megan sporting […]
