Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
SnoopyStyle Jack Bourdain (Bradley Cooper) is given a second chance after a spiraling lifestyle. Nolita's owner Pino (Frank Langella) gives him 48 hours to open with his friends' help. Seth Richman (Nicholas Brendon), Jim (John Francis Daley), Teddy Wong (John Cho), and Steven Daedalus (Owain Yeoman) are the chefs. Tanya (Jaime King) is the clueless hostess. Pino's daughter Mimi (Bonnie Somerville) is the head waitress. This show is supposed to be an insightful look into the world of restaurant eateries. It's based on Anthony Bourdain's book. Sure there're things going into the food that shouldn't be and there is a chopped finger. But the show never gels together. It only filmed 13 episodes. It's a big cast. Maybe it's just too many characters to throw at the audience.
mgurgun That show was the next Seinfeld. So clever and so fun. 3.5 million people watched its last episode even tho it wasn't regularly broad-casted. Fox is probably the most stupid network on earth for canceling such a bright show. I have friends in Europe, Turkey and UK who are big fans of KC although it was never aired there. There are 3 or 4 episodes which are never aired in the US as well. Kitchen Confidential, cancelled after 13 episodes. Now thats TV Tragedy! This great show needs to find an audience and make a come back. The characters were great, especially Nicholas Brendan (aka Xander Harris from Buffy) and John Cho (aka MILF dude from American Pie or Harold from Harold and Kumar) who have an amazing on screen chemistry and really made me and my friends laugh a lot.
rtraub It seems that channel 7 in Australia is showing the rest of the episodes that were not aired after Fox cancelled the show in the USA.I guess they have a better sense of humor than Fox.I hope that when they are all aired they put them on DVD for those of us who loved the show. I have seen some of the episodes that were not aired and they were hilarious. There is so much reality cr*p on TV it really upsets me when a network doesn't give a truly smart comedy to gain an audience before pulling it off the air. I understand that Seinfeld almost met the same fate but thank G*d it was allowed to continue to become one of the best comedies ever!!
cynmack I was horrified when I heard of plans to turn Tony Bourdain's excellent book into a TV series. But I just saw a preview and this is pretty good. Not as cool as Tony just being Tony; but a well done show. Not stupid and sitcomy with a laugh track. It's a bit cleaned up from the book, but I do think it keeps the same feel. Not quite as gritty, but good. I laughed out loud more than once. Great supporting cast. How can you go wrong with Xander from Buffy, Harold from Harold and Kumar, Frank Langella and Jamie King? Excellent pairing with Arrested Development, but I'm afraid this show is just a bit too smart for Network TV. Might be more at home on FX. But I loved it.
