    This is entirely exciting news! I use to watch the Apollo a lot back in the day so it will be really neat to see what it’s like with this fresh new spin. I love that there’s a panel of judges including Gladys Knight and Doug E. Fresh. My DISH coworker first told me this would be on, I knew I wasn’t going to miss it. I wasn’t home during the premier so I recorded it on my DISH Hopper. I record a lot of shows, but luckily this DVR has 1,250 hours of record time so I never run out of space. I can’t wait to see this season get underway!

    How about a commercial that commemorates Apolo forever?
