vovatLast night, I finally saw "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV," which means that I've seen every Futurama episode (unless I'm forgetting something). Unfortunately, that means I don't have any other episodes to look forward to. Damn FOX and their cancelling quality programming.
I had a problem with the American Idol Wild Card show last night. Choosing twelve contestants and then letting only eight sing was dumb. Either let all twelve sing (that's what they did last season, if I'm not mistaken), or only choose eight contestants. It ain't the Miss America Pageant. True, they auditioned again for the judges, but, if that's how they were going to do it, they should have announced it ahead of time, which, as far as I know, they didn't. Besides, if they were going to cut anyone at the beginning, they should have included Matthew Metzger, and not Lisa. Really, the comments the judges made didn't make any sense to me. "Lisa, you were good, so you're cut. Matthew, you sucked, but we're letting you stay anyway." I think Matt is coasting by on looks, and the paranoid part of my mind thinks that Simon might have had it in for Lisa, since she wouldn't go on a crash diet like he wanted her to. But paranoia isn't always accurate. I didn't get a chance to vote, but the four I hope I get through are Jon, George (he's just so affable), Jennifer, and (if I have to pick someone whose name doesn't start with a J sound) Leah.
Freezing rain last night? Is Old Man Winter throwing everything he has at us before retiring for the year?
