When we moved into our apartment in October we were devastated to discover that Tivo would not be an option for us. Our apartment faced north and DISH requires a south-facing satellite; the cable company here had not yet rolled out a DVR (I use Tivo and DVR interchangeably, even though I do realize that they are actually different). "Devastated" may sound like an over-dramatic verb for this situation, but for anyone who has Tivo you can understand how your TV-viewing completely changes and it becomes painful to then have to resort to watching live TV. Plus, prime-time here starts at 7pm - who's ready to wind down and watch TV at 7pm??? We normally haven't even eaten dinner by then, let alone have a certain 2-year-old in bed. Alas, as a result I missed many a show these last 6 months. Happily, we are once again set up with DISH and our beloved DVR.
One of the shows that went by the wayside in my non-DVR days was American Idol. So last night I was finally able to jump into the season and I have several opinions about it. First of all, what the CRAP is up with Sanjaya??? I realize he is old news to all the other AI viewers out there, but seriously. How on earth is he part of the final 7 contestants? I felt like I was watching a junior-high talent show when he was performing last night. Also, I was not a fan of Blake. Inexplicably, the judges seemed to enjoy his performance but I thought it was dreadful. AND, he looks like he has no teeth when he sings so I found it difficult to watch him. However, how much do I love Melinda??? Oh my. I think I may have a girl-crush on her. She was awesome and her outfit was adorable.

Oh my...I honestly don't know how you lived so long without Tivo/DVR. I'm addicted. I basically get ticked when I actually have to watch commercials. Did you hug your Tivo when you got it working? I probably would have...
I have never had Tivo yet. So I'm sure I just don't know what I'm missing. But until then, I'll satisfy myself with live.
I too can't believe Sanjaya is on there. I think it's because Howard Sterns is telling everyone to vote for him, and there is a website called "Vote for the Worse" and Sanjaya is their choice.
Isn't Tivo the best invention ever? I honestly don't know how I lived 28 years without it...LOL! It was one of my main requests when we moved to AZ!
As for Idol, my stomach honestly turns whenever I listen to Sanjaya. His "trying to be sexy" act creeps me out. But, you just have to feel bad for the guy. He's the butt of all jokes on Late Night TV. The only reason he is so popular is because he is SO BAD.
