American Idol, the 800-pound gorilla of TV, keeps on getting
better.
Last night's premiere of season 6 drew 37 million viewers, the most
for the show since the 2003 season finale (Clay vs. Ruben).
It was believed to have been the most-watched season premiere in
the history of Fox.

Heh. To put things into perspective, American Idol was only watched by
~20% of the entire nation (source zap2it.com). That may sound like a
lot, but there was a time when the weekly episode of Star Trek was
watched by the same percentage. And Cosby Show used to hover around
30% week-after-week.
The M*A*S*H finale was watched by over 60%.
In comparison Idol's 20% is just a drop in the pan.

American Idol is not music, it's nothing more than a glorified Karaoke
contest.
But at least it pads FOX's bottom line, which is all I care about.
