Get ready for a lot of “Idol”!

by Marilyn Porter

Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy JacksonFox has announced the entire early season schedule for “American Idol”, right down to the day. That means we know when each episode will air, from the always-entertaining auditions to the first of the 12 finalists being voted off on a live-show. For those “Idol” die-hards out there, this is a good thing to know. We can all set our TIVO’s, DVR’s, and VCR’s and be ready for the onslaught of bad auditions, outrageous contestants and that special brand of humiliation that only Simon Cowell can deliver. We will be treated to a full four weeks of auditions and two episodes of “Hollywood Round” callbacks, after which we will be introduced to the 24 semifinalists on February 14. The auditions and “Hollywood Round” episodes will be aired twice weekly, and the elimination of the semifinalists will be aired three times a week for three weeks. WOW, that’s a lot of “Idol”! More to love, I’m sure. If you’d like to see the entire early season schedule as reported by RealityTVWorld for yourself, click the link below.
