After much anticipation, an old family friend is returning tonight.
American Idol.
I don't want to be an American Idol fan.
It' so yesterday. So cliche.
But I can't make myself stop loving it.
I love that our whole family enjoys it.
Okay, Bill might endure it more than he enjoys it,
but we are all in it together.
Maybe it would be more worthwhile to
be reading a classic like "Moby Dick" aloud as a family.
Instead we watch contrived "reality" tv
while shouting at our kids to cover their eyes during
the non kid-friendly commercials.
What precious memories.
Last season was my favorite.
David Cook had me at "Hello" and
David Archuleta...
*sigh*
Ask my kids how I feel about David Archuleta.
That voice. That angelic voice.
It's my happy place.
As for the others...
Randy. What's up, dawg? I like you
and the way your feedback sounds so street-savvy.
Paula. Crazy Paula. I love how you clap over your head.
I appreciate how you find something kind to say,
even with a contestant like Bucky.
That's not easy to do.
Ryan, the way you say "THIS is American Idol" gives me chills.
You make it look so easy.
New judge, whose name I don't remember,
welcome to the family. You are invited into our home
for hours each week. I hope you are worthy of it.
And Simon. Mean Simon. You can say anything
you want with that accent and we'll forgive you.
In honor of this happy day, I have created a special
American Idol playlist for your listening pleasure.
Let's be honest, it's for MY listening pleasure.
But feel free to indulge if you want.

Missy- you are a riot. Glad to know there's another family willing to confess that we actually sit and watch that dreaded show ;)
THIS...is hilarious.
Bikini girl was ga-ross.
It's a really good first episode! Maybe it's going to be cool to like Idol again! Hehe.
You are so funny!!! i love it, I'm glad it's back on too...
I found Dave and the girls watching it last night together. I was glad he was "supervising" it. Some of the commercials are nasty. And, I came through the room to see bikini girl. Ick! LOL
missy, you are hilarious. good to see your hubby in denver for a short time!
Dylan would like you to know that he does not like Kara. He fears change. And we are CRACKING UP at your blog!
that is hilarious that you even have the song :) I'll figure out his name for you...kristi
Yes, I did hear American Idol is back on...read that on another person's blog. She's crazy about it too. I guess I never sat down long enough to watch it. Maybe I should?!
Oh, all of the kdg. team has read Twilight, except Cindy. She jokingly said she'd listen to it on tape. I think Sherri's the craziest one about the series. I had to convince her to read it and now she can't stop talking about it. Raette is currently reading it only because she's tired of hearing us talk about it. You need to read it too! I have Twilight here if you want it. I can sure send it home with Jack.
Missy--
I will put the book in your son's backpack tomorrow. It's looking shabby because you will be the 6th person to read it...You will enjoy it! Very much a love story and very appropriately written...no graphic, adult stuff.
We are addicted too!! Simon is my fav - reminds me of the good old days in England. Just glad I never knocked in his door! So do you vote every week when it's voting time?
I love it too and I don't care who knows it!!!!
Unforch, parenting classes made me miss the first couple of weeks including HOLLYWOOD WEEK!!! ARGH!!!
