Why is FOX showing the worst programming they can imagine for the next two weeks?

I hate American Idol. I don't like a lot of popular music, but I like stuff that's different and the judges on that show are looking for someone who will just do the same crap that's on the radio right now. They should at least have picked some different judges. This year we will have a male win, and he will sound like a crappy boy band guy because that will draw in the most idiots. BRING BACK 24!!!!!!!!

what is sweeps? I don't watch much TV, just a few good shows.

Whats wrong with "there's something about mary"? I thought it was a good comedy. I must be out of touch, I could see complaining that the simpsons aren't on, but malcolm in the middle, 24, that 70's show, what's up with that? American Idol, I could see your point.

I'd rather watch malcolm in the middle than the simpsons.

Sweeps is the period of time that advertisers look at ratings to see how much they will pay for commercials.

So naturally the networks tend to go all out during these periods (Nov, Feb, May) to get their numbers up so they can get the most advertising money. That's why fox is saving all it's good stuff for 2 weeks from now.

I'm sorry but how can you say American Idol sucks; maybe at the end (with the "good" singers), but watching peoples hearts being broke is funny as hell. And Joe Millionair, I'm sorry ladies about how "sexist" this sounds, proves where a girls heart truely lies in the wallet.
To prove my point...
Whats a guy's best friend? A dog. Whats a girls best friend? Diamonds.
A dog is loyal, fun to be around, and a great companion. Diamonds are expensive. If anyone wants to prove me wrong go right ahead but sexist or not it's true, and you know it.

Don't go making broad statements like that.... not ALL women care about money. THAT IS THE TRUTH. Many may, not all do. Who knows, they could have cast the girls that are most in it for the money just to make the show more entertaining.

P.S. Sure, girls like jewelry, but i would say "they are our best friends" that is so very cliche!

Well aparently you I didn't clarify myself, because I ASSUMED you people would be smart enough to realize that not EVER girl and EVER guy is like the ones i protrayed. I guess i should never underestimate the stupidity of people.
