Ratings Clack – Following Lost is the new Friday night

(1/19 – 1/26) The subject of the Friday night death slot comes up fairly regularly around here. Moreso recently, what with the Terminator/Dollhouse debut right around the corner. I’m not one to argue in the face of so much damning evidence, but I do think there is a plucky young upstart with eyes on the […]

Dear American Idol Producers, I just want to send along a sincere thank you for issuing your public apology to Mark Mudd. While we already know that CliqueClack is one of the most important and influential sources on the web for television-related content, you can’t know how thrilled we are that CliqueClack had such an […]

OMG, Idol was great last night!

I wrote recently about my love/hate relationship with American Idol. There have been some pretty horrendous audition episodes so far this season, and I didn’t expect much different from last night’s combined “New York”/Puerto Rico auditions.

OK, I did it: I turned on American Idol last night. Would it help your opinion of me at all if I said it was really just on for background noise, while I was waiting for Lie to Me to come on? Regardless of whether or not you believe me, I admit that the last […]

Somehow though, ABC managed to massage those numbers so much that they felt ok producing a promo that called it bigger than ever. It’s lipstick on a pig. DVR, streaming, illicit downloads, no matter what spin […]

Reality Clack – American Idol, The Bachelor, America’s Best Dance Crew, Survivor

There’s one man reaping all kinds of benefits from reality television. Nah, I’m not talking Ryan Seacrest even though he seems to be everywhere. I think his everywhere bit is fading a tad these days. Nope, I’m not talking Simon Cowell, either. I’m talking about Randy Jackson. Yo, Dawg, check it out — he’s not […]

Kara DioGuardi: Not the voice of reason I’d hoped for

This is my third season watching American Idol, and I have a real love/hate relationship with it. I love music, karaoke and cover songs, which is what drew me to the show in the first place. It’s also fun to watch the contestants as they change week after week, seeing who improves and who stalls […]
