When you look down at it and really, American Idol is ultimately the most influential, and one of the finest, reality shows currently on air. It features a panel of judges who actually know what they're talking about, picks out fine talent for their competition, and most importantly, gives everybody an equal chance. But hey, even if you hate the show, what's better than watching people embarrass themselves on live TV?
However critics and other luminaries of the reality show genre constantly put the show down because a good percentage of its fan base is composed of teen-girl fanatics who obsess over the show and somewhat ruin its name. If they would ignore this one aspect of the show and get down to what it is actually made of, they'd discover that this is purely good television.
