TV: American Idol and Important Things

This evening marks the return of American Idol for its eighth season. The good news is that I'm taking the adding of Kara DioGuardi as a fourth judge as a step away from the "kinder, gentler" Idol we saw last season. Not only is DioGuardi supposedly a tough judge, I'm hoping they show more of the "not so good" folk... but only the next few days will tell.

Hope is most certainly alive though with what I'm calling the best new show I haven't seen: Important Things with Demetri Martin. Like I said, I've yet to see it (it debuts in February) but it's Demetri Martin's show and that is good enough. The guy is seriously hilarious, kind of like a sober Mitch Hedberg. Anyways, I'm looking forward to it and so should you... if you want a taste go ahead and do a quick youtube for his comedy.
