Will they? Cause I barely got any episodes taped from this season! :( My VCR broke sometime after last season so I haven't taped anything since last year's finale :(

I hope so because I like to tape the auditions because I think they're hilarious. I had them all taped from this season, but I just recently recorded over the first episode on accident. I'm really bummed I recorded over it, so I hope it will air again sometime so I can tape it again.

As far as I know, they won't. I know reality shows like fear factor and amazing race and other shows have had reruns but they don't do it to live reality shows. It hasn't happen yet. But I would like to see reruns. Just hope that they will put it on dvd.

Just hope that they will put it on dvd.

I REALLY hope so too!!

i'm pretty sure i heard somewhere that TBS is going to start playing reruns of AI in 2009.

as for the DVDs, i have a feeling that the best and worst sets might be the best we're getting. i would LOVE season releases, but it would take SO LONG to clear up song contracts and stuff.

i think Fox Reality is rerunning seasons 4 and 5 during the summer/fall, but that's a satellite/digital cable station, isn't it?

'American Idol Rewind' to debut in weekend syndication in September


By Steve Rogers, 01/20/2006

Tribune Entertainment and American Idol producers FremantleMedia North America have announced the details of American Idol Rewind, the new syndicated television series that will repackage previous seasons of the smash-hit Fox reality show for weekend syndication.




A one-hour series, American Idol Rewind will premiere in weekend syndication beginning in September 2006. Starting with a 26-episode run of American Idol's first season, Rewind will "enhance" the show's original Fox broadcasts, repacking and "streamlining" the broadcasts to include never-before-seen previously shot footage (including Idol 1 winner Kelly Clarkson's original audition), additional behind the scenes facts and details, and new footage that will focus on how key contestants got through the competition.

"American Idol Rewind capitalizes on an extensive library of the country's #1 show to offer fans the opportunity to revisit some of their old favorites," said American Idol creator Simon Fuller. "This is the first time the country can now track each winner throughout the season -- from beginning to final performance."





Since Fox added more broadcasts for American Idol's subsequent seasons, so will the syndicated show, with Daily Variety noting that Fox ended up broadcasting as many as 45 episodes of Idol's later seasons.

While the show was just formally unveiled yesterday, American Idol Rewind has already been sold to all the television stations operated by the Sinclair Broadcasting Group and both Fox and Tribune themselves, resulting in the show already being scheduled to air in 55% of the United States and nine of the country's ten biggest television markets. Come September, Tribune expects that American Idol Rewind will be available in more than 90% of the country.

Although several long-running reality shows have been sold into syndication during the last year, the announcement means that American Idol will join Fear Factor as one of the few repeat syndication reality shows available to local over-the-air television stations (other major shows like The Amazing Race, America's Next Top Model and Survivor have instead opted for cable syndication, with networks such as GSN, VH1, and OLN acquiring their broadcast rights.)

can we get a WOOT??!?! :woohoo:

what channel though?!?!?

^ That's awesome news! :D

I hope they have it on something other than Fox Reality though.

It better not be on a channel I don't have!!! :(

It starts this weekend! Check your local listings... it should air either on FOX or The CW. It will also air on WGN Superstation which most everyone should get.

Its syndicated, its on the FOX stations around here. Its on one of them tonight at 11.

As for everyone getting WGN, we haven't got that around here in 10 years, and I'm only like 5 hours from Chicago. I miss it.
