Entertainment Weekly‘s cover story this week is about The Simpsons movie. I could not care less about that movie. Sure, I liked The Simpsons, about 20 years ago! I haven’t been impressed with the characters since they were featurettes on The Tracy Ullman Show. I honestly don’t get the love people have for the show, but I don’t mind it either.
Somewhat conversely, I do mind the ill-placed love people have for American Idol, which was also featured in EW. I never hear anyone say they actually like the show, but for some reason, it gets great ratings and has been renewed for multiple seasons. I think my basic problem with the show is that it seems to draw (for the most part) degenerate types. There’s no way I can state my opinion without it sounding horribly classist, so I’ll just leave it at that, but man, I’d love for that show to go away (or at least stop taking up space in entertainment magazines).
OK, Eureka’s coming on…gotta run.
Hey
Chris and I are probably coming in this weekend, are you going to be home? I wanna see ya!!! :nod:
It’s not classist to think that based on demographics, statistics and plain ol’ observation. “Certain people” liking American Idol isn’t any different than guys liking action movies or women liking romance. Generalizations, yes, but pretty much a truism also
I haven’t watched the Simpsons in years but when I surf past a rerun it never fails to give me chuckle. I’m in no way a loyal fan but I wanna see the movie.
An d how awesome is this season of Eureka so far ❓
:love: :love: :love:
