[Miss Didi]

Lovely, Jonny. We missed you last night on the 24 thread. ;)

[twin2]

Jonny!!!!!!

Oh the excitement is building. I can’t wait for the sarcasm, the nit-picking, the ugly and the really ugly stuff to start. Looking forward to hearing from all the old crew too!

[mplsconservative]

Whoo-hoo! It’s Idol time! Love the audition phase and hopefully it will be 0bama-free. What are the odds some nitwit has a big 0 t-shirt on?

[maggief]

[misterrob]

Thanks for starting this up again. Here’s hoping for a season where we get to revisit good musical eras and artists with some people who can hold a note.

[Majie Purple]

Hi, HOSTER with the MOSTER!!!!!

Wee Haw! Can’t wait!:)

Sweet sketch/dedication!!

Here we go again.

[doug from upland]

This was sad. The mental patient audition. Poor girl needs help.

Such an incredibly beautiful portrait of our Lady in Red!

She is definitely missed.

[retrokitten]

I can’t wait for the sarcasm, the nit-picking, the ugly and the really ugly stuff to start.

Wait...we were supposed to stop? ;-)

[battletank]

PLEASE put me on the ping list! woooohoooo! I LOVE AI and can’t WAIT for it to start! Thanks!

[Mark was here]

Oh my, another year has gone by. What was American Idol any way? Sounds vaguely familiar ...

[conservativebabe]

WOOT!!

Looking forward to being back here with you all again!

jonny, very nice tribute and beautiful art as always. I didn’t realize she had passed. Not here much other than Idol. Always sad to lose friends.

couple miscellaneous thoughts...

I thought we’d be hearing more from David Cook by now. The first song was ok. I like that new song Light On. I guess they can’t all achieve the success that Kelly and Carrie have.

Not sure I’m gonna like the 4th judge thing. I always enjoyed the guest judges but I’m not sure a 4th permanent judge was necessary. We’ll see I guess. I hate change. :p

[retrokitten]

Hi there!!

I hate change. :p

Me too. Supposedly, she's not that bad and sort of tough, but I guess we will see.

[Sir_Ed]

I think she’ll make the judges’ criticizing times last too long. I like watching the singers, then a bit of criticism, then the next singer, and adding a fourth judge means the time they take to criticize and comment will last too long...

Thanks for the ping!

I’m really looking forward to all that’s new this season!

And to those Freepers who think every waking moment of our time is better served stressing and fretting over ‘all things foreign and domestic’, take a chill pill, or better yet, join us ;)

[ken5050]

Well said...we need a break..and after all, the gang of clods, dolts, and idiots now “auditioning” to run the Obama administration are just as bad..

0bama Administration = The new American Idol is just picking his back-up band and roadies.

[peggybac]

Thanks for the ping. I’M SO EXCITED I CAN’T STAND IT.

[TaraP]

Can’t wait!

Thanks for the ping!

[Timeout]

Meeeeeee, too!

What a week....two nights of “24” and then Idol~!
Kinda like Christmas and New Years...just without the week’s lull in between~!

[kevkrom]

I think I’m going to try and beat my record time of waiting a full five minutes before cracking a “Seacrest is gay” joke while watching.

[EmilyGeiger]

I am so HAPPY!!!!!! Thank you so much for the ping. I have my DVR locked and loaded with AI and 24. :) Don’t have to worry with politics for a while. How’ve you been?

[JustAmy]

Beautiful rendition of our Ladyinred.

It was great to see Chadsworth last month. He is missing his Ladyinred but is otherwise doing fine.

We miss you, Connie.

[Fawn]

Hello everyone! Looking forward to this year.....

[Fawn]

I have my DVR locked and loaded with AI and 24. :)

What about HOUSE?

[EmilyGeiger]

I love the old House, but haven’t watched as much since the newer cast members came on. :( I do love Psych and Monk though on Fridays.

[Fawn]

I know what you mean....I’m waiting for the old cast to come back into play myself. It was better.

[freedumb2003]

It’s not tonight is it???????

Anyway, happy to see you back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don’t mind me saying, happy to see me back from a 2 year timeout. I was only able to watch but not post the last 2 seasons.

And I am on the East Coast for a while so I can participate live!

This is like going back to an old bar with old friends to have fun together — a little love, a little snark. And of course those first rounds are always the best :)

Re-hi everyone!

[conservativebabe]

I just think another female ads nothing. I like Paula, drunk and goofy as she is. That’s what makes it fun.

I’ll keep an open mind...maybe we’ll have someone new to make fun of! LOL!

[conservativebabe]

I would agree with that assessment. Let’s just get on with it. She’d have to come up with a unique style all her own that’s entertaining to make us want to sit through a 4th judges comments.

[silent_jonny]

Thanks, Bahbah :)

[silent_jonny]

Thanks, Didi :)

I saw 24 last night, but I wasn't able to be online, but I'll be ther tonight. Looks like a good season so far.

[slugbug]

Thanks for the ping, Jonny. I’m looking forward to the new season but can’t believe it’s time for it to begin already!

[silent_jonny]

I can’t wait for the sarcasm, the nit-picking, the ugly and the really ugly stuff to start.

Me too :)

[silent_jonny]

What are the odds some nitwit has a big 0 t-shirt on?

Ugh, probably even. Last year a couple of giggly teenage girls said they wanted to get Obama's autograph :-/

[no more apples]

Good evening!

[silent_jonny]

:-D

[silent_jonny]

Evening,

[Lil'freeper]

Whoohoo! Looking foward to spending another season with you guys. As always, Jonny, you are the host with the most!

[no more apples]

Niiiice!

[no more apples]

Hi there!

[silent_jonny]

Howdy :)

Here’s hoping for a season where we get to revisit good musical eras and artists with some people who can hold a note.

I hope so too.

[silent_jonny]

Thank you,
