The problem is, are they the YouTube celebrities who discuss news/put together how-to videos that are genuinely interesting/entertaining? Or are they the ones who put together short skits whose humor is too lowbrow for fart jokes? If the former, ok I’ll give it a shot (assuming directv will actually record the series with no problems). If the latter, nope.

Seriously, John, you need to call your parents more often.

That was the worst part! I talk to them on a weekly basis and they never brought up any of this shit! Facebook cuts out the middleman. My cousins can tell me about their life without filtering it through someone who’s apparently able to forget that Brian moved to Thailand, covered his body with tribal tats, and now teaches people how to apply submission holds.

(Still just the sweetest guy, mind you.)

I for one look forward to the TAR recaps! Since I never actually watch the show.

I should be on FB for the exact reason you give – most of my relatives are on it. But I just can’t like it (no pun intended) – its entire layout feels user-unfriendly to me. I’ll be curmudgeonly, I suppose.

Laridian . .. you should give TAR a view. I read recaps from the first season on Mighty Big TV, but I had to watch the episodes on tape and DVD to filly appreciate them.

I’m more or less of a caveman . . . no phones hooked up with WiFi, no Facebook or Twitter, and I only started my blog after I got dismissed from a recapping site.

You know, the John Seavey Family Recap sounds more interesting than the Race recaps.

I’m sure the racers will give us plenty of reason to despise them without any reference to what they get up to online.

As someone who only started watching the show last season (entirely due to these entertaining recaps) I can only hope that there will be heroes and villains aplenty.

@Dylan: We’re either really boring or really fun, depending on your POV. And I can vouch for the fact that his parents really are like that, and he has dinner with them once a week.

The weirdness is multigenerational. From John’s FB feed:
Devi mentioned at lunch today that she was reading a book that speculated Jack the Ripper was a woman. Kidlet raised a tentative fist and said, “Um…girl power?”

Signed, John’s Wife. 😀

With John’s help, I wrote about why I like TAR. Read it and tune in Friday night!
