Ding ding!  Hey, if you're not into watching TV more power to you.  But no need to say it in a way that implies that the rest of us who do watch are a bunch of lazy,unintellectual idiots.

I don't care for scripted TV.  We watch mostly stuff on Food network, Bravo, A&E and yes, I'm completely secure saying it, MTV.

Pretty sure `Chopped' is my favorite show on television right now. The problem is when I watch it I feel the need to go cook something.

Yep, that is our favorite show.  If we see a chef with a restaurant in a town we'll be visiting we write it down so we can visit it....unless the chef's dishes suck Smile 

Hubby (who does most of the cooking) has gotten some great ideas from the show.  We watch so much we can almost always guess what the judge's critiques will be and who will be chopped.

Someone really needs to start a Chopped thread because like LB's original post said, I don't watch any of the shows that have their own COJ threads.

Yeah they're pretty harsh sometimes. Last night they were espeically mean to one guy -- I dont think they liked a single thing about his appetizer.

Have you seen Chopped All-Stars?  It's on Sunday nights at 9.  They have four episodes with Food TV personalities, the Chopped judges, non-chef celebrities, etc.  The four winners duke it out in episode five and the price is $50K to the winner's charity.  This week's is the non-chef celebrity round and I'm excited to see how amateurs will do with the mystery items.  Sometimes we armchair quarterback so we'll see how tough it actually is for the average home chef Wink

Riveting!!! Laughing

Hey, I knew squat about cooking.  After watching Chopped I know slightly more than squat about cooking.  That's called education!

You're just mad because I we TV watchers jacked your "I'm above watching TV" thread Wink

Yeah, like the zombies you are!! Tongue out

Hey LB-- what did you cook for dinner last night?

You know, a real person cooking real food.  How'd it go?

I ate burritos and tacos whipped up by some relatives that are in from Ca.  I was going to video it and then watch it later, but we ended up playing dominos instead of sitting in front of the TV.....a good evening. 

Earlier I took the kids to ride in a sanctioned Time Trial.....I'm afraid they missed their shows. Tongue out

Hilarious.

Yeah, see, that sounds infinitely more delicious and entertaining to me than anything I could imagine watching on TV.

Kids doing a TT? Awesome.

My son and I watched a couple episodes of "Sponge Bob Squarepants" yesterday and we laughed out butts off... You just can't beat the "sponge bob Nudie pants" episode

Heh. Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

Sorry LB you will NEVER win. You get yelled at when you jack a tv watching thread.. and those same yellers just hijacked your thread... 

there is no justice. 

Seriously though, the Food Network and it's spinoffs have some really great shows on.

Man vs. Food!

 

He was getting fatter from season to season.  Had to switch it to Food vs Nation so he didn't have to do all the eating challenges himself.

The last food network type show I watched was some kind of cupcake competition with a nautical theme. They made cupcake sculptures that had seafood in the batter.. Seafood cupcakes? that's just gross. 

Cupcake Wars is the absolute worst example of what Food Network has to offer.  I have no clue how that show keeps making it.  I guess cupcakes are the thing these days.  The show is poor.

Try Chopped.  I thought it sounded dumb too until I watched it.  It's fun because the competitors get a basket with four mystery ingredients and have 20-30 minutes to cook a dish that incorporates and highlights all four ingredients immediately after finding out what they are.  It's four new chefs each episode and one winner by the end of the hour so you don't have to follow it along like a series.  Ted Allen is a great host.
