American Idol

The only show that I watch on a regular basis is American Idol. “American Idol” is a friendly competition that people enjoy watching. The proof is in the ratings. “American Idol” is so popular that it is number one and number two on the Nielson Charts because it airs on two separate nights. This past Tuesday approximately 29 million viewers tuned in to see the performances. The next day on Wednesday it dropped down to 27 million viewers. I guess Gwen just wasn’t keeping the Idol fans on the edge of their seats.

The show is so popular that the other shows in similar timeslots would not even compare; we have “Gilmore Girls” and “Dateline”, but “American Idol” still towers above them both. I feel that if Idol moved to a different slot it would do well wherever it went. The only possible time that ratings might fall would be if it were in the afternoon which would never happen.
