Wednesday's news about American Idol -- that Fox allegedly plans to fire all four judges and the exec producer, Nigel Lythgoe -- isn't really all that shocking. Just this season, viewership has dipped 22 percent. Last week's Idol watchers were 11 million strong, but that's nothing compared to the 30 million who tuned in back in 2006. For the media, chronicling the show's long slide is like reporting on the weather in Seattle. Rain, rain, and more rain, for years now.
