Default Christmas comes early!

CTV has announced that it will not air Canadian Idol in 2009.

Hopefully, this will be the first step in getting all these crappy talent shows off the air.

The bad news is it sounds like they're going to do more reality dance crap. That's even worse.

Not at all. The dance stuff can't make it's way onto the radio and into TV commercials, etc. Much less annoying.

Meh, as far as shows that the Fiancee makes me watch 'So You Think You Can Dance' is one of the less painful ones. Although the talent (read: looks) of the people on the Canadian show is much worse.

It's really not about the talent shows... It's the cheesy, Canadian versions of every American talent/game show.
