JAG was the closest thing they had to something fresh and that was completely mucked up.

With the exception of Iron Chef, FN shows are all subject to immense preparation and planning. There is nothing spontaneous about them, nor do any of the existing "stars" have to operate under anywhere near the pressure of TNFNS. It's a joke. At least on American Idol, it's true that at some point you do have to stand up and sing.
