After a long time, today I switched on the TV at 7pm and coincidently caught the American Idol going on. I had seen a little of the show in its early days when really really pathetic singers used to come up to give auditions. Comparatively now the singers a relatively talented. I use the word relatively cos I absolutely mean it. If you consider the absolute talent each singer on the show seems to be definitely lacking in something. Well maybe I am an antagonist! The theme for todays show is the 90's and half way through the show I haven't come across a really good song from those years. I have to mention that those were the years when MTV was just introduced in India or Mumbai, and I can boast I knew each and every hit during those days! But alas...
Anyways during the commercial break got to know another show coming up, named 'NANNY 911' which basically deals with spoilt children or brats (kids) who cannot be controlled by their parents, and hence enters NAnny 911 to save the mother and father!! I never thought someone would come up with such a show. This is the height in reality TV!! If this was to be in India during the days when I was a kid, I only knew one thing that if I behaved like that there was a nice 'KANA-KHAALI' (a hard slap in the face) coming my way! But here if the parent does that, he or she risks being arrested or prosecuted for physical abuse.
Yeah...one thing, the commercials during the breaks for American Idol are just too too amazing...some really good ones I'd say :-)
