  • Paula Deen.  Enough Said.
  • Michael Symon.  He has a mass appeal of a pile of dog turd.  Need proof?  Remember what happened when he temporarily became the star of “Dinner: Impossible”?
  • Everybody else except Alton Brown, Mario Batali and Morimoto.

    • And the most annoying thing they have done so far?  Eliminating Ming Tsai in the current season of “The Next Iron Chef.”

Pilot episode got me hooked.

    Learned about the word “faggot” and its origin.

    Kind of a new “Seinfeld” except it’s funny.

    Patrick Warburton hasn’t been this funny since Seinfeld.  The chemistry among the characters is top-notch.

    Of course, it’s stupid to judge the whole series by just watching a single episode.  I’ll update this post as soon as I download and watch a few more episodes.

    Somebody is screwing up in the production of “Heroes.”  Has anyone noticed how stupid slow the pacing of this series?  Case in point: have you noticed how many episodes did the slogan “Save the cheerleader, save the world” span?  It should have been just one or two, but I think I counted 1,027 episodes.  Yeah, that’s how freaking slow the damn storyline is.

    And speaking of storyline: Oh my effing gawd.  How many sub-plots do we need?  Too many characters…Imagine, there are two bald skinny black dude in the story; the only difference is their accent.  Each and one of the characters has a story and has their own stupid agenda…most of them are not inter-connected.  The sub-plots will probably end up related in the end, but at this point I couldn’t care any less.

    NBC is screwing up the only thing that is supposed to save them their abysmal viewership.  I’m not watching that crap anymore.

    Yeah.  Him. 

    Did you know that he’s a programmer by day?  No, not some bozo who “designs software” and passes himself as a programmer even though he couldn’t write an app that prints “Hello, World” to save his own skin; I mean, he’s a hard-core programmer dude.  He has written multiple applications and plug-ins for special effects software at ILM (the special effects studio founded by some guy named George Lucas…’doesn’t ring a bell to me…).  Those liquid metal effects for T2?  He did that.  Same with those water effects for “The Perfect Storm” and “Pirates of the Carribean.” 

    And with his newfound fame, he still keeps his day job.  Imagine that.

    Yeah, I know.  What a prick.  I hate him, too.

    And speaking of TV, “Prison Break” is quickly becoming the victim of mainstream programming…the plotline is becoming stupider every episode…Come on, Teabag loses his hand again?? 

    “House” is still ok, I guess…not as great as it used to…but the new recurring character is awesome. 

    “Heroes?”  eehhh…there’s too many subplots already…the “Save the cheerleader, save the world” tagline is getting tackier every minute.

I just hope they don’t end up wearing costumes in the succeeding episodes.
