I’ve gotten so many comments and emails about this that I figured I should just make a general announcement about it.
I LOVED doing American Idol recaps. It was incredibly fun, and a great outlet for all my venom. And I’m delighted to find how much you all liked them, and how much you miss them. It fills my evil little heart with pride.
Through a variety of strange series of events, the three places I have lived in since late January (yes, I’ve moved around a lot) didn’t have very good access to television. Like, at my dad’s place, there was a TV set, but no actual cable access. We could only watch DVDs. Part of my dad’s grand scheme for “mindful living.” And at my new place in Seattle, there’s a TV, but no DVR or TiVo, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn the closed captioning off. So watching TV is almost painful out here.
I plan to remedy this situation for next season, and bring back the recaps, but I’ve honestly only seen a handful of episodes this season myself.
Yayyy, that’s great news. :) I thought you had forsaken American Idol in a fit of rage and I was all sad.
Beet, find the “display” button on your remote and press it until you see “DISPLAY OFF.” That should get rid of the closed captioning.
Beet recaps of recaps may have done the trick.
i would like to add my voice to those who have missed your recaps and who welcome the idea of them returning with the joy you usually reserve for drunken party girls doing something, well, inappropriate.
in other words: oh joy, rapture!!!
you can watch the performances on americanidol.com beet! same thing as the show but only takes like 10 mins instead of an hour to watch :)
while any beet recap is wonderful, i dont watch idol so i dont mind.
Doh!
I don’t watch tee-vee either. I think your dad is right.
I pretty much stick to DVDs these days. Not that I have much time since I’m usually *cough* working. Like posting here when I should be coding.
And a DVD player is like… $50? (I bought my dad one for $35 on sale.)
If you have a laptop, you probably have a video out dealie that you could hook up.
I miss your recaps! I never worried about missing an episode because you would tell all. Please think about bringing them back next year.
