With the writer’s strike keeping many of America’s favorite shows from airing, we’ve seen a resurgence of reality television, game shows and re-runs fill the viewing line-up. Many of these are obvious desperate attempts to get people watching something, anything, on the major networks. However, FOX won’t be suffering quite as much trouble with getting viewers now that the new season of American Idol is about to begin.
While all of the other networks are trying to find something to put on the air, FOX gets to bring back an old favorite. And they didn’t have to change their viewing plans to do it. American Idol was already set to begin its seventh season this January so the network is right on track. The season kicks off this coming week with two-hour premiere episodes on both Tuesday, January 15th and Wednesday, January 16th.
Like with the other seasons, these initial episodes will show the best and the worst of the auditions that were held throughout the year. Even people who don’t watch the rest of the season often tune in to these first few performances to see what embarrassing vocal performances and on-stage hissy fits happened throughout the filming. As the years have gone by, the show’s producers have realized the value of revealing the worst-of-the-worst on television. And the people attending the auditions have realized that doing something crazy will get them on TV!
