"American Idol" Gives Us an Ulcer

Can we get the two hours we spent watching last night's "Idol Gives Back" special back? Hey, The Slug loves us a good cause, but the bizarre green-screen celebrity appearances, Celine Dion's duet with a computer-generated Elvis Presley and Ryan Seacrest repeatedly promising the "most shocking" voting results in "American Idol" history and then not giving anyone the boot was just bad TV. (Of course Jack Black and Seal delivered, but that was just a five-minute cameo!) Are we crazy scrooges for hating this Very Special Episode? Nope. Two of our favoritest TV blogs — reality blurred and TVgasm — also agree. So, seriously, can we at least get our one hour and 55 minutes back?
