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.
