From Film To Television

With Oscar madness over, my site not functioning and winter finally making an appearance in So Cal, I spent the last few days catching up on a couple weeks' worth of tv. Yes, I watch some bad reality shows but I've got my remote skills honed to the point I can plow through most of them without ever having to hear the host's voice. Some thoughts and questions about what's happening on the small screen: American Idol- Is Kelamari Pickler for real?? Seriously. I strongly suspect she's a character from a new FOX sitcom and American Idol is merely a platform to promote it. Nobody is that much of a caricature of the stereotypical backwards hick. The only detail they skipped is the missing teeth. I have to agree with Simon that she is very likeable... in 30 second clips. But if I had to spend any more than a few minutes with her, I'd be shoving scones, falafel and other food items she's never heard of down her throat just to shut her up. My early predictions: Bucky, Kevin and the scratchy-voiced girl will be the next three to go. The sexy bald guy is my favorite performer but the wife and stepkids will make him seem like too much of an adult to the teenyboppers who actually call and vote so he'll probably only make it halfway. Ace, Lisa and Kelli will make final four. In the end, I think the fans will pick Kelly Clarkson Version 2: Katharine. But what do I know? And for the love of God, why do I care??? 24- I'm still about three hours behind on 24 but if the show is staying true to past years' form, I'm sure I can guess what's happening: Tony Almeida has probably already recovered from the morning's blast and is back at CTU with just a Snoopy bandage as proof of the explosion that killed his wife and nearly killed him. Jack's daughter Kim has returned only to fall prey to some creepy guy while wearing a tank top with no bra. Jack has uttered the phrase, "I'm the only person who can do this!" for the hundredth time and Chloe has scrunched her face for the millionth time. To celebrate the occasion, all CTU phones rang in unison: dee dee...duh nah. Am I right? Shhh. Don't tell me. There's been a burning question in my head for the last five seasons that I must ask: What is "division" and if it's so important that it has to send people in and handle the big decisions, why doesn't it run the whole show?
