the buzz log
Like many of you, we watch too much TV. But unlike many of you, we know how to spell. Week after week, we're amused and saddened by the ways in which searchers misspell their beloved shows. Here are a few of our favorites...
"American Idle" is the search that really stands out. We often wonder what such a program would be like if it were real. A reality show about Americans watching a reality show? We can't believe it hasn't been made yet.
Clumsy typists seeking the latest on their favorite mob drama can usually be counted on for nice bump in "sapranos" queries.
Another good one is "Dancing with the Starts." It doesn't even make sense, but it's always there.
"Dog the bountry hunter" is searched for a depressing number of times as is "dog the bountee hunter." Strangely, no "Dawg the bounty hunter."
Other "special" searches include "the bachlor," "desparate housewives," and "America's Next Top Modle." Just as soon as someone finds a way to misspell "The O.C." or "24," the coming apocalypse will be confirmed.
