Anyone else sick and tired of hearing about American Idol - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

gilligan fanatic · 01-31-2006, 08:09 PM

I don't know if it's because its geared for my age, but everywhere I go or anything I do I hear a reference to the show or somebody talks about. My awful school newspaper had a whole page on it. People are constantly talking about it. My teachers even talk about the show and everyone in the class knows what she they are talking about. I don't give a care about the show and I cant' escape it. I want to start intelligent conversations with people and all they want to talk about is lasts night American Idol. I can't stand it anymore. Everywhere I go its there. Even my history teacher was complaining that American Idol will be cut short because of the State of The Union Address tonight. I saw part of American Idol the first year and the people they thought were good I thought were terrible. I just don't' understand the show and don't get why people never get away from talking about it. I know Carrie Crazed will be against me on this, but I am so sick and tired of hearing about this awful phenom. Anybody with me on this? I don't care at all about this. I gave up watching the Simpsons because I don't want to see a commercial for the show.

Eh, I'm not much for it either but I guess it IS one of the defining shows of today. It used to annoy me but I've gotten used to it. It's here soooo no use complaining. Besides, I've had my fair shair of yapping about shows that other people really didn't give two ****s about in the past ha.

Mr. Television · 01-31-2006, 08:15 PM

well i dont know. in my school its talked about but its not the talk of the school.

I've never really been in to American Idol, personally. I watched it for the first season and sorta lost touch after that (nor did I really want to watch it from then on).

But, to each his own, I guess

that would annoy me anyway. i like AI but i dont want EVERYBODY to be talking about it. it would be weird.

Dean Winchester · 01-31-2006, 08:32 PM

I never watched it, but American Idol was soured for me because of a message board I used to read around 2003, that erupted into a huge race war between Clay and Ruben, and I was all thinking "it's only a TV show" but these people had to turn it into a huge political debate, and people like that who couldn't just accept the show as a form of entertainment can all go to hell. Who knew that everytime a black person was voted off, it was because of a racist society who couldn't handle Tamyra or something

In a good light though, I would say that AI has likely taken the place of MTV for a younger generation since MTV has completely given up actually playing music videos, therefore making superstars... so it's really American Idol that is the way for people to pick and find new singers to "grow with" the way those of us from the 80's and 90's had MTV.
