American Idol Revisited

Against my will, I have become a regular watcher of American Idol. I missed the first few seasons, but got on board with the program the year that Taylor "Soul Patrol" Hicks managed to beat a slew of people infinitely more talented that he could ever dream of being. Despite that crushing disappointment, I was back the next season, where I was happy to see somebody who can actually sing well win (way to go, Jordan Sparks!!!).

Although the show itself is entertaining, what keeps me coming back are the recaps of each episode that are posted at TelevisionWithoutPity.com. More often than not, the episode recap is more entertaining than the actual episode. The writers' sense of humor is dark and laced with sarcasm, which is the kind of humor I find the most appealing. No contestant, judge, mentor or host (hey, Seacrest, that's you) is safe from the biting wit of Jacob or Joe R, the poor souls who are forced to watch and comment upon each episode. This may give away my age, but they are to American Idol what Joan Rivers was to Elizabeth Taylor back in the days... BRUTALLY HILARIOUS!!!

Even if you don't watch Idol, there are entire slew of shows that are recapped weekly, and I've thoughtfully listed a few below. Check it out!

American Idol Recap
Dancing With The Stars Recap
Desperate Housewives Recap
Survivor Recap

These are only a few of the many shows that get the TWoP treatment. For a complete list, visit TelevisionWithoutPity.com and choose your show from the drop down menu. Enjoy!

UPDATE:
Wouldn't you just know it.... the day after I the above post, TelevisionWithoutPity.com goes and changes the layout of their website. I gave instructions on how to navigate to see all of the shows that TWoP does recaps on, but now those instructions have changed. Instead, here is a link that points directly to a page on their site that lists all past and current shows that they recap (TWoP Shows).
