BRING BACK TAMYRA: I've never been a fan of
American Idol, but there are interesting questions raised by the announcement that
reruns of the first four seasons will arrive in weekend syndication this fall. Now, I'm not quite sure how this will work from a purely logistical standpoint, given that episodes are of varying length, making it difficult to run a consistent weekly schedule. Also, unlike
TAR and
Survivor, which have been big successes in repeats, isn't there not a whole lot of drama beyond "who will be eliminated?"
AI doesn't have personal relationships, interpersonal conflicts, or unique challenges to watch, and you can probably download audio of most performances. Is there any reason to watch?
