Our Pop-Culture Blind Spots

''The Simpsons.'' ''The Sopranos.'' "American Idol." We reveal (against our better judgment) the beloved movies, TV shows, and music we've somehow managed to miss

I've never seen American Idol...

American Idol is just one many popular shows I do not follow. Lost and 24 are also on that list. Here's the deal: Most of my television viewing happens between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., a wasteland littered with auto-insurance commercials. And, yes, I have a DVR — but it's filled with movies I'm not quite ready to erase. I realize that an EW.com editor who doesn't watch American Idol is like a lifeguard who doesn't know how to swim. But having colleagues like Slezak and Walton and Barrett (an otherwise smart and nice and good-looking bunch who share a boundless — and, frankly, troubling — passion for the show), I know I can safely splash about in the gentle shallows of AI ignorance. — Wook Kim
