The economic crisis just got so, so, so much worse: Canadian Idol will be taking a "rest" in 2009, with broadcaster CTV citing the "economic climate." Judge Zack Werner told the Star that the show proved to young people that "if you hope and you dream and you try, you can do something more with your life, whether it's become a doctor or a basketball player," which is confusing, because we thought the show was just for singers.

And nothing of value was lost.
Funny... I though the networks did reality TV shows because they were cheap. Are they replacing it with infomercials?
Friend68, infomercials? I don't think the TV networks can afford that quality entertainment anymore, it would be a step up though if possible.
They don't want to come right out and admit that people are getting bored of that stupid show.
Great news!
Hurray!!!
