A few Americans come to their senses:
It had to happen sometime: American Idol is showing signs of mortality in its seventh season.
Ratings for TV's top show are down 7% to an average 29 million viewers for regular episodes and down 10% among adults ages 18 to 49, the main currency on Madison Avenue.
It's still big enough for Fox to be the ratings champ, though. Might I suggest a night at a karaoke bar? The entertainment value will be the same, and you'll get out of the house.
