You may have noticed that the writers strike has been taking TV shows out one at a time. Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Prison Break and many more will soon be off the air or in repeats. But not American Idol!

With the season premier getting oh so close, it will be one of the few shows on television with all new episodes. Not only that, but reality TV writers are not a part of the writers strike so American Idol will not be affected.

Could this season be the biggest yet? Well, with most other competing TV shows off the air or in reruns, it may be just to easy to bring in millions of viewers.
