Quick Rundown of The Links...

Since there isn't any feature to have me be able to describe each of the links I have posted on this site conveniently, and since I'm still in systematic-list-of-descriptions-and-opinions mode, I thought I might as well make a quick post describing them in a bit of detail.

  • The bullets return! Oh darn, now I have to start a new one. :)
  • Entertainment Weekly (officially known as EW.com): Basically the best pop-culture/entertainment site ever, it is the souped-up, totally interactive Internet counterpart to the excellent magazine of the same name. Why do I mention it? Because of the hilarious, excellent recaps of both "DWTS" and "Idol" (along with other reality shows, TV programs, and such) that inspired me to create this blog. Even though Idol isn't on, go and read the past 8 seasons' worth of recaps now! (Well, not all of them, unless you're psychotic like me...but a few from this past season would suffice.) And although you're already read these "DWTS" posts, some more wouldn't hurt, so be sure to check those out. All in all, a delightful site.
  • Dancing With The Stars HQ: The official ABC site for the show you all know and love. Full of voting-ness (including the Design-a-Dance we all...enjoy? :D), bios, videos, and whatnot. And of course, full episodes!!! (Which post the day after, but it helps.) Tip on those: Google Chrome + ABC full episode player = bleh. Hulu has them, however, so we Chrome users are all saved from "DWTS" limbo. :)
  • MSN Reality TV: Home of excellent "DWTS" recaps and painfully lame "American Idol" ones. Do I strongly recommend these? Not exactly, especially the bland "Idol" ones. But they always come out close to an hour after the show, so if you're hungry for someone else's opinion on the dancing or singing you just watched, this is the place to go. (Though the douche who writes on "Idol" drives me crazy. So don't listen to HIS opinion. :D)
  • My Personal Blog: Self-explanatory. If you're a creeper, STAY AWAY. If you're my friend of some sort (which is a more likely scenario), read it to your heart's content. :)
  • American Idol Central: AI's official site. Sometimes pointless and vapid,  sometimes useful (it posts the performance videos rather quickly, albeit without judges' feedback--though in the case of some judges...cough cough, Randy...that can be a good thing), this is the site to go to if you want some cold, hard information about the storied singing competition.
More links to come...such as the excellent "American Idol" blog by a writer for "The Guardian" (a Brit newspaper) that will charm your pants off, and other recommended sites. And I will be putting up a Playlist.com playlist (wow, redundance) in the next few days, that fits with this blog's theme. Keep reading, keep following, and keep watching! Cheese out! :)
