Live TV has this way of being, well live. And that means hard to schedule. As any DVR owner who's tried to record The Simpsons after a football game can tell you, that sometimes means your shows will be cut off.

So on the one hand, it shouldn't be that surprising that this week's American Idol finale ran about 9 minutes long. On the other hand, it's not like the producers aren't used to putting together a live program every week. Anyway, thousands of viewers missed the big finish where Jordin Sparks was crowned miss... err.. the next idol.
Now Fox has issued an apology to those viewers, saying "it was always our intention to bring the show in on time." Well, I don't know about you, but that makes me feel better.

Anyway, I guess you can always hit up YouTube if you missed the finale.
