I saw a commercial for this American Idol Rewind show the other day, that’s supposed to be showing American Idol from the beginning “repackaged”. I even read an online article about it, but can’t find anything with a starting date or find it on a schedule anywhere. I’ve tried tvguide, fox, and google, but nothing shows up. I have seen several things that say “September” but nothing more specific. Has anyone heard anything?

I’d never heard of it before this thread, but here’s the official site:

From the wikipedia article:

Highlights of the new audition episodes will the the first ever screening of Kelly Clarkson’s full audition (which never aired in the original run of Idol). As of August, 2006, the series has been cleared for broadcast on stations in over 96 percent of the United States.
American Idol Rewind is a syndicated television series that ran from September 30, 2006 to May 15, 2010. The hour-long weekly series was a repurposed edition of the hit reality talent show American Idol, featuring present day interviews with the contestants, semi-finalists and rejected auditioners in addition to extra audition, Hollywood Week, and finals footage never previously aired. It featured the first five seasons of the original series.
In August 2006, the series was cleared for broadcast...
Sounds vaguely interesting.
Thank you! They’ve added the date to that American Idol page since I went there earlier this week. It used to just say September 2006.
