 I think I may be one of the few people in the country watching 'America's Got Talent'. I'm not a fan of the whole nasty judges, bad auditions thing. But, I do love a variety show. American Idol gets a bit old for me cause it's just singing. I like shows that have magic, singing, weird acts, etc.
It's nice to put something on the television and not have to worry if the kids see it. It's nice to have something a bit fluffy and light in my life. Maybe it's cause I was raised in the era of the Carol Burnett Show, The Donny and Marie Show and others.
Does anybody else watch this stuff? Or am I a total throwback to another era? |
I kinda liked the one a while back. I forget what it was called. It was on FOX though. It was pretty neat because they had all sorts of really good performers (like magicians, etc) and it reminded me of a circus. They each did their act and then the best liked ones did a play off at the end. The judges weren't snarky because it was essentially audience voted and all of the performers were good. Well, a good portion of them anyhow. Really weird acts but it was fun.
I've been mostly avoiding the slew of comps (and reality shows) lately though. I was pretty annoyed that they bumped all of my shows off the air, killing
Heroes midseason (not cancelling but it is obvious that they abbreviated the storyline a good bit) and cancelling
Bionic Woman and
Journeyman (and I was into both to some degree).
