Sep 14th 2009 9:36PM (AOL TV)Anyway, no mention of the absolutely stupid last 5 seconds with tanya apparently becoming a new person due to another book. I doubt it'll change much but it's definitely relevant.

Hell's Kitchen: Season six premiere - open thread
Jul 22nd 2009 1:29PM (AOL TV)As wulfn1 pointed out, any of his shows not produced by Fox rely a lot less on the dramatic tension and bullshit (but still have plenty of swearing) and more on the business ethics required for a restaurant and the level of cooking required regardless of whether it's home cooking or at a professional establishment.
As for people whining about him being a bully, of course he is, with his background and the kind of culinary world he has worked in for the last 20 years, it's what he has always known and what has always produced the best chefs in the world. As for the truly unneccessary comments about Tracy Grimshaw it's just another one in a long line of competitive PR stunts that Gordon has been trained into thinking is the best way to keep himself spotlight by Fiona Lindsay.
If you actually think all people should be the same happy, love everybody equally selfless type of person you must live in a very narrow and dull world. The different kinds of people are the reason life is interesting and not every person in the world needs to be always nice to their workers to bring out the best in them. Gordon along with most good chefs throughout the world expect the best from their staff and in the heat of the kitchen and the moment will do and say anything to get that out of their staff. Ask any of the long term staff if they take it personally, ask them if they don't go and hang out with the same person that berates them, ask them if they respect them or not. The answer will generally be the same. The common goal and strive for perfection is just something certain types of driven people posess. So get off your high horse and find a better outlet to channel your sneering disgust into something useful.

If web browsers were The Super Friends...
Apr 3rd 2009 5:17PM (Download Squad)I guess Maxthon would be Martian Manhunter. All the powers of superman plus more. One of the original super friends with all the things that the later ones bring to the table far in advance of the new comers. Neglected and misunderstood by writers even though he is easily one of the smartest and most powerful of all of them.
No surprise...NBC axes The Chopping Block
Mar 28th 2009 8:43PM (AOL TV)The real problem with the chopping block stemmed from the producers of the show completely ignoring the things that made the original bbc show (The Restaurant) interesting and instead deciding on a badly cobbled knock off of the other competitive cooking shows with marginal use of marco.
Which Brit series could have an American remake?
Mar 22nd 2009 11:05AM (AOL TV)Michael Landes was sorely missed but Tamsin Grieg was wonderful as always.
Yet another news program (and British adaptation) on American TV
Mar 22nd 2009 10:16AM (AOL TV)Even the basics of reading the wiki entry and watching some clips on youtube would have left you mildly informed and made this slightly less of a throw away post.
As for HIGNFY, it just won't work in the u.s. and especially on NBC as the show is at heart about satire and derision of everything and anything to do with the news and even if it somehow kept the format or found one that works, it would never last long enough for the presenters to become comfortable enough to produce a show as good as merton, hislop et al.
