think i might feel pretty good about it. this could be looked at as like george clooney leaving e.r. but he doesn t go off to a movie career. clooney creates another show for nbc. so that you have e.r. running well, plus a new george clooney show running well. i mean, simon s new show is very likely to get a huge audience, and idol is still likely to get a very big audience so could this be win/win for fox network? i m not saying it s doom and gloom for fox. i think they did a smart thing. i m kind of surprised to hear you declare simon cowell s new show a hit before it s even been on the air. i mean, there is no saying whether people are going to be interested in watching the simon show or the simon and paula show again in a different format. i mean, it may just be that moment is passed. so what fox has done i think has absolutely made the best out of a bad situation since they couldn t get simon cowell to stay. at least they ve still got him in the house. now,
