Also, I'm bummed out that this week is just an hour of SYTYCD on Wednesday, and it's 9-10, just like PR.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

NFNS: I'm happy with the results. I may watch this show. I definitely wasn't going to watch either of the other two.

I was amused to see "Food Network Star Show" in the Tivo search list.
Just a reminder, Ted Allen's Food Detectives starts tonight.

Oh, I didn't know that!
Thanks!
Well, the spoilers were true. I only watched the very end last night - to see.
This morning I watched about the first 10 minutes and thought that Adam's show sounded a bit like "Ask Aida" and that Lisa's show was a bit like Mary Nolan's "Chic and Easy. ("Chic and Easy" isn't very good. Lisa's might have been better.)

I was so turned off by the commercials that I never watched it. I like Guy's Big Bite, though. And he's turned into a big Food Network 'ho. Love him!

Yeah. Well, I hate Guy.

Because books.
Really? I find Guy kind of adorable.
I was surprised they went with Aaron, honestly. There doesn't seem to be anything new about his show. He was great, very personable, but it was just sort of predictable.
I loved Adam's approach -- having the webcam and the person to talk to was perfect for him, and I liked the idea of him taking tried and true recipes and tweaking them to suit callers. But then I've never watched Ask Aida, so I don't know how similar it would be.
Lisa was good -- I could see her doing a Barefoot Contessa or Giada type show, sort of understated and much crisper natural light (rather than the very saturated, in your face colors and light of Rachael's Thirty-Minute Meals, let's say), but they have shows like those. She was good, but she still wasn't as friendly and relaxed as I like.

Ask Aida is brand new - I think it starts next month. (That's why I wondered.)

I can see that. He strikes me as a love him or hate him kind of person.

Apparently "America" loves Guy, so I can totally see them looking for the next Guy as opposed to the next Ina or whoever. Although I can totally see Lisa getting more of a lifestyle show on another network.
(I am amused thinking about this in the context of the class discussion in Natter -- I want classy, "America" wants regular folks!)
