According to the American Idol website:

4. Last night’s American Idol ties as FOX’s highest rated premiere EVER among Adults 18-49 and is its highest rated premiere EVER in Total Viewers.

5. The premiere of American Idol gives FOX its highest rated night EVER with entertainment programming in Total Viewers and Adults 18-49 share.

6. Last night’s American Idol premiere is the highest rated primetime telecast of the 06/07 season on ANY NETWORK.

Who makes up this stuff? They forgot one ..

7. The most illogical and made up statistics ever!

Okay .. granted .. I watched the show … as this is the only part of the series that my wife likes to watch - the rejections and wannabees .. (she hates all episodes past the top 12) .. but I wouldn’t rate it “high”. And, it’s not like I was waiting to watch this show as we had supper just before the shows. We had the automatic tuners scheduled to switch to the channel, but never sat down until 7:15pm or so. And my wife flipped during the whole show to other channels (instead of laughing and making fun of contestants during commercials).

In fact, I would NOT rate this as a success and instead call it a poor failure of highered expectations gone bad. It was quite poor .. horrific .. and possibly the worst shows ever (to quote Simon).

Last tax season (Feb-Jun) I bought myself a little TV for my office to watch stuff like this, Canadian Idol, Amazing Race etc while I work .. but, if it’s turned on at all - it will be to the Space Channel and watching Stargate SG-1 or Star Trek or Andromeda or Everybody Loves Raymond or Family Guy or SouthPark or .. or even a blank screen - than this.
