I agree completely dubla.
Not only are they purposely airing more shows (such as the Monday night hour special which gave the final two contestants an opportunity to sing THREE MORE songs), but the Top 12 will be going on a national tour this year, they have already released a single, the film with last year's winners (Kelly Clarkson, Justin Guarini) is being released early next month, three of the contestants from last year are releasing albums currently (Tamyra Gray, Kelly Clarkson, Justin Guarini) and it never seems to end.
Not only are we bombarded with endless American Idol products, but the media seems so obsessed to cover it that no matter what venue you turn to, you cannot escape it.
As a crude example:
Morning talk radio = discussing American Idol contestants and updates
Morning news television = coverage of American Idol updates and news
Afternoon talk radio = repeat or rehash of morning talk radio covering American Idol
Afternoon news television = repeat of morning news television updates of American Idol
Evening radio = newest updates on American Idol
Evening television = special documentaries and coverage of American Idol contestants
This is ad nauseum. I did not even mention the MAGAZINES all over the shelves covering American Idol. You cannot escape it! AHHHHHH
Can anyone say overkill?
I am HAPPY it is OVER on television tonight.
