Few shows have gone through as many permutations and growing pains as "American Idol". Fox's flagship talent show is back with (yet again) a tweaked cast.
Last season's go-round for American Idol may not have been the best in the show's history. But things may not be changing as drastically as we've been lead to believe.
'American Idol' used to be the hottest show on television, but after 13 years, it's starting to show its age. The show's ratings have slipped from regularly having 30 million viewers to now somewhere around 11 million. And though the show has had some different judges over the course of its run, it's now looking to ditch all four current judges to have a fresh face for season 13.
