‘American Idol’ pushing kids past bedtime?

As I was struggling to stay up late enough to see the end of “American Idol” last night, I was wondering how parents are handing the 8 to 10 p.m. show.

I’m imagining all these kids coming into school the next day with “American Idol” hangovers after having stayed up to 10 to catch the last performers. I wonder if teachers see a change in their students during Idol season.

    This show and the dancing shows do push the bedtime rules and another show that we watched was the Biggest Loser which has some good lessons for kids. Ten pm and I am struggling to stay awake most nights.

    American Idol at 9 on Wednesdays is the worst. I hate telling my 8 year old that she can’t watch it. What with the timing and the occasional unfunny unsubtle humor between Ryan and the judges I feel like they’re turning their back on their most loyal viewers (adults tire of the same old formula year after year, kids don’t).
