2" align="right" hspace="3" border="0" />The American Idol results show runs an hour tonight but it starts on the half hour. I hate it when shows like Lost, which is doing it tonight, run a few minutes past the hour. FOX tonight kicks this practice up a notch. This playing across the hour is really crappy. I don’t even watch the results show because who cares about all the machinations. I just want to know who was in the bottom three and who was sent home. I can find that out at by about 6:35 p.m. Pacific or so when some east coaster writes about it. Meanwhile I can enjoy and record some better shows that are on at the same time. What do you think about an hour long results show that runs over the hour? In other news this is post #300 here at TVaholic. I hope you find them useful and interesting. Thanks for reading!
