Pick of the Week: The Return of a Cultural Phenomenon

It’s just too easy to pick it—especially since everyone else did. And for me, it smacks a little of shameless promotion.

But it’s just too hard to ignore a cultural phenomenon…

My Pick of the Week is the premiere of “American Idol.”

Personally, I hate the early audition episodes because so many of the people are painful to watch. But this year’s will be a little more interesting as we wait to see how new addition Kara DioGuardi will be as a judge.

If you read my other blog, “Idol Chit-Chat,” you know that I believe Kara is going to be a great addition and that this season of “Idol” is going to be a good one. But I guess only time will tell if I’m right…

“American Idol” premieres Tuesday, January 13th at 8 p.m. on FOX…
