I had heard Ted had a show coming. I'm a bit surprised that it's going to be a Mr. Wizard type show.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

I just realized there hasn't been any NFNS talk in here this morning! Did we all Tivo the 1am repeat to watch the Tony's instead, or was it just that boring?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It was kind of boring, but Martha Stewart was kind of great.

NFNS: I think I sprained my eyes rolling them over listening to the Tracey-Flick-a-like and The Bob squee over Martha Stewart coming to the presentation. Not enough @@ in the world.

It was okay. They got rid of one of the people they needed to and I think that last week's two best were this week's two best.

I can't believe Nipa (?) made a two-ingredient product, though. What a loser! I mean, seriously.

I would have gladly seen Nipa go over Geoffrey, but Geoffrey did have to go. With his level of self-delusion, he really should have been on Hell's Kitchen, not NFNS.

"We are going to create a high-powered show that, like the original, will keep viewers in every demographic clutching the edge of their seats."
“These three guys will get to drive the world’s most amazing cars, go on incredible road trips and blow stuff up. It’s a dirty old job but someone has to do it…why didn’t I get the job?!” said Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President, TV Sales and Content & Production, BBC Worldwide America.
Jeremy Clarkson, executive producer and host of the UK “Top Gear” said: “This is fantastic news - but how on earth you lot are going to do it on the wrong side of the road I’ve no idea.”

I cannot stand Nipa now. That 2 ingredient spice thing was ridiculous.
