When I say detest, it is not through watching them, it is the concept.
First comes American Idol and then they think, "What variations on this theme can we come up with?" and then you get Celebrity Ice Dancing, So You Think You Can Dance, American Inventor?? and the soon to be shown "America's Got Talent" with Simon Cowell.
Come on programme makers, give us something original and stop regurgitating the same junk.
