Tricia's TV Reviews

In 2005, I began writing snarky American Idol reviews for Mike's co-workers and a few friends. It was suggested that I collect these reviews and place them on our web site for posterity. I thought that was a pretty good idea, so I decided to start posting them online. So, because you asked for it, here they are...and then some. [Note that I do not include recaps of any American Idol episodes that take place before the actual voting starts (i.e., auditions or "Hollywood week"), nor have I recapped the results shows except for the season finales. I am also not posting reviews for any Season 9 episode except April 13th's, because, well, the contestants pretty much stink.]
