    It’s so exciting to see this show back on the airwaves! I like that there’s a new spin, with a judge panel, complete with Gladys Knight, one of my all time favorite singers. I’m also excited to hear that Doug E. Fresh and Michael Bevins will be on the panel as well. My DISH coworker first told me about this new show and knew I had to tune in. I recorded the premier on my DISH Hopper since I wasn’t home when it aired. I record a lot of shows but never worry about running out of room because this DVR has 1,250 hours of record time. I can’t wait to see this season get underway!
