The Voice
NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET
The interplay between the judges here is better than on American Idol this season – but in both shows, it’s become increasingly arguable, even obvious, that the real winners of these shows, publicity-wise, are not the contestants or winners, but those in the judging thrones. Look at what TV has done, in two seasons, for all four judges on The Voice. And it makes me even hungrier to watch the new UK version, which features, among its quartet of celebrity judges in the red chairs, Tom Jones, Will.i.am and Jessie J. YouTube snippets are too enticing. Please, BBC America, make a deal to import that – now!
