American Idol has officially "jumped the shark."

Sign in to disble this ad
Ellen DeGeneres will be taking Paula Abdul's place as a judge. That's going to suck so bad.

I was going to say "What the heck does Ellen even know about music?" but in reality, she probably knows just as a much as Paula...

The only reason to watch that show was to watch Paula drunkenly blather something inane, and pretend to fight with Simon, failing at concealing their lust for each other....

The show jumped the shark 5 years ago when the Huey Lewis wanna be and Fat Albert runner-up and Mary J Blige xerox won and went nowhere... Didja miss the memo?

Damn, I was hoping for "been cancelled due to the untimely deaths of Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest".

Replacing a self important basket case (ok, she's hot) with someone that's going to try to be funny and erupt into dancing at the drop of a hat. I won't be watching.

It's going to be way less entertaining without being able to spend the hour guessing what kind of drugs Paula is on.

Watching the trainwreck known as Paula was entertaining.

I have no idea who they are trying to appeal to with Ellen DeGenerate. She adds no credibility to this show whatsoever. Next, they will replace Simon with David Hasselhoff or Danny Bonaduce!

They had that other woman (drawing a blank on her name) along with Paula last season. Not sure if she'll be back.

This is an outrage. A talk show host is not as qualified as a drugged out former choreographer and pop star to judge a karaoke contest.

It seems this has changed in the last couple seasons since the show has proved popular but in the first or second season my ex-girlfriend wanted me to watch an episode with her. I watched about 5 minutes and said, "I'll watch the rest of this if you can tell me which one is the star." She got mad because she didn't know and I didn't watch any more of it.

I watched that show for two reasons... Ricky Minor, and to fill the spank bank with images of Abdul.



...Sorry Ricky, you ain't cute enough!!!

I watch DWTS for the hot chicks in skimpy outfits.

+1. And I plus one this with a creepy shudder. The only reason I like Paula is because she's seems so easy that I feel like even I have a chance of hooking up with her even when I'm just some weird dude with a beer gut sitting in my underwear on the couch.
