Title: An Open Letter to Joe Capitano
Post by: Marc on June 27, 2006, 05:44:49 PM
(I know I’m breaking a house rule…but hey, I’m allowed.  :-)  )

Joe – what can I say?  Another season of perfection…another season without missing a beat.  Your consistency and reliability add a whole new dimension to this site, and I consider all of us very lucky to have you around on a daily basis.

After handing things so flawlessly for nearly three full years, I truly believe that this area of the site has become yours.  With that, please join me in congratulating Joe as we rename this area of the site to JOE CAPITANO’S TPIR SUMMARIES AND SPOILERS.  Like the Bob Barker Studio, Joe’s name will forever be over this little wing of our site…but we hope to have you around for many years to come.  

Thanks for everything, Joe!

Marc

Nice job Joe! I wouldn't last a year doing what you do!

Congrats Joe! You do one heck of a job. You deserve this.

I'll echo that.  Thanks for everything you do, Joe.  You probably put more work into this site on a daily basis than anyone else here.  God knows I couldn't do what you do.

Yep.  Once I started trying to do recaps for full shows, I realized just how much work you put into those recaps.  I don't know how you do it. :-)

See you again next season!

I agree 100%.  Sometimes if I tape a show and don't have time to watch it, I go to Joe's recaps to see if I missed anything important.  I know I personally wouldn't have the time or patience to do what you do Joe.  You truely are the man when it comes to recaps.

I know how much work full recaps can be.  I do a mere 26 of them a year for another show, and it's absolutely exhausting!  I don't think I'd have it in me to do around 170 a year!  So good work there!

Joe, your reliability has been nothing short of absolutely amazing.  I don't get to see TPiR much, but every day, I know I can come here at 2 PM and get the recap for the day, with the little details that make the show so much fun.  Thank you man...well deserved honor!

Thanks, Joe!  Oddly, One Friday in March, I got upset when I did the "Why I hate my CBS thread," because you told me to grin and bear with preemptions.  But I've learned to grin and bear it.  You deserved it, Joe!  I don't know how our lives would be without you.

Hey, Joe--what advice do you have to give to amateurs who want to write such great reviews like yours?
Title: Re: An Open Letter to Joe Capitano
Post by: Joe_Mello on June 28, 2006, 12:41:10 AM
I bet some of that advice is learning how to code.

As a recapper for Game Show News Network, I can truly say it's work.  Some of the graphical stuff Joe does is beyond my reach.  (I just started adding tables to my recaps)

Yes, thank you for all your time, dedication, and hard work Joe.  I look foward to reading your wonderful recaps every day and I appreciate your work.

Thank you for all your hard work, Joe, and congratulations! If anyone deserves to have a part of this website named for them, it's you...

Unless, of course, they want to name the forum heater the "Heels' Hotties Heater"... Or they plan on opening up the Madonna Ciccone Smoking Lounge, or...

Naw, let's pass.

Keep up the great work, Joe. And thanks again.  :-D

::lots of applause for Joe::

You are the consummate recap man. Every day I can count on not only an accurate recap, but something entertaining as well. Sometimes I actually want the contestant to lose Cliffhangers so I can see what you come up with for Hans falling off the cliff!

From the STUPID BID to the creation of the First Four Breakfast Club, I must congratulate you on this honor and say that it is truly deserved.

Thanks, Joe, for your hard work!!! I'm sure I speak for all of us who work during the day, and can only catch bits and peices of the show during lunch, that your recaps are a tremendous service to us all!! Its always easy to read, and gives me something to look forward to around 2:00 Eastern!!!! :-D

BTW: what is the total new "breakfast club" members for this season?

Thanks again Joe!! :-)

Thanks again, Joe for another tremendous year of recapping TPIR in all it's glory!!!  And congratulations on the honor which Marc has most deservedly bestowed upon you!!!!!!!!

I echo the above sentiments. Thanks, Joe, for doing a heckuva job making these recaps, and I'm looking forward to another season of this in the fall!

Thank you, Joe, for the hard work you put into the recaps!

Echoing what everyone else has said, thanks for the hard work, Joe. Just doing DOND recaps was kind of time-consuming for me, so I can't even imagine what it's like for you doing these recaps. Takes a lot of patience.

Great job, Joe. You've done great. Keep it up for season 35.

Joe, congratulations.  Thank you for your amazing, comprehensive recaps of every PIR episode.  Sometimes I miss an episode, but when I see your recap, it feels like I was there in my living room watching it on my TV.  Keep up the good work.

Joe, you've done an awesome job.  Like a few others who have already posted, I also have been writing recaps for shows (for those who don't know, I've been covering Millionaire, among other shows recently, for GSNN), but I bet it really takes a lot to cover every single price, prize, product, player, etc. in a 1-hour show like TPIR that airs every weekday.  Thanks, Joe!

Post by: Brewer on June 29, 2006, 12:51:18 AM
It's been stated numerous times already but it's never enough.  Thanks for all the hard work you put into the recaps each and every weekday.  I think I can speak for everyone when I say it's always appreciated.

Cogratulations, Joe!

BTW, I'm writing this from your hometown of Anacortes. Lovely boating community!

I'm proud of you Joe!  I wish that I could do recaps like yours!!

Post by: Punchboard91 on July 19, 2006, 11:23:29 AM
Huh. Somehow I completely missed this thread.

Well, coming a little later than everyone else, but I'm still going to say how much I, as well, appreciate your work. Heck, I even have trouble coming up with things to say about the show, and you do that plus the full recap.

So, thank you very much!

Joe, great job. I love reading what happened in TPiR that day because I am always in school while it's on.

I've tried to do recaps before, but they never come anywhere near as good as yours.

Keep it up for many more years to come!

... and then the floodgates opened.

OK, it's taken me two and a half months to show my appreciation - and perhaps I shouldn't have taken this long, but better late than never.

"Right back at ya!" In a way it's kind of scary, but I guess you really like me. This despite my occasional quirkiness. After all I, like you, am a fan. Never been there, never done that, but I'm a fan from the moment the current version hit the air. That's a long time. A looooooooooong time.

The only thing bigger in my life right now: Oak Harbor Wildcat Football - they're 3-0 with a big game against Snohomish next week. I'm doing stat work for KWDB radio again this season, and if things work out the next game will be on the net. You might even hear me. But, I digress.

I'll do my best to keep cranking out the recaps with a goal of making no mistakes at all this season (Yeah, right! That'll last about as long as it takes for Brandi to shoot out her first double flip).

OK, at least I can dream. See you all Monday morning.

Oh, and by the way, Go Wildcats.
