“American Idol” first premiered in 2002 on Fox.
The show was a success and ran through 2016, before leaving our screens and returning in 2018.
In its early days, it was a show everybody seemed to be watching.

While the show had a seemingly wholesome premise, it also had its negative attributes.
Another downside is that somewinners didn’t get the success they expected.
“I think that we, as a society, love to watch stuff to judge folks.

Critiques of the show have also shifted dramatically.
“When I was watching it, ABC didn’t have it.
The judges are different with the people who are coming.”
