TV Junkie: American Idol - Yay or Nay?
So "American Idol" fans, round three of the Hollywood auditions start tonight - we haven't seen a lot of chatter about this season here at LAist and wondered what your thoughts were. Has the show jumped the shark yet? Because if you're not into the show we'd just as soon not list it here. Your comment is your vote.
Fans of BBC America's "Top Gear" should know that they can pass around highlights of each episode after it airs - and last night's episode with smashing semis through various objects touched our inner teenager (totally legal!) with its awesomeness.
Not a heck of a lot else new to report TV-wise unless you are an Anne Heche devotee and are thrilled by her joining HBO for a new series - a dark comedy featuring a well-endowed high school basketball coach.
