depends on when it airs.
I'm so DVR-addled that I actually have no idea when it's on! I just emailed my Tivo to get a season pass and assume it will repeat often enough to work out.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Punishingly Intricate
Whether or not I watch Chopped! depends on when it airs.
Oh! I meant to find it to record last night and forgot. I need to set that up.
I'm just excited that Biggest Loser is starting again tonight. That's how much of a big loser I am. I think it's my lamest show! Of course I can only watch it recorded and I can do all 2 hours (!WHY!?) in about 40 minutes (while eating a big bowl of pasta with a piece of cake on top while drinking a beer, preferably).

Anyone planning to watch the Food Network's attempt at Top Chef?
Is it really (just) a Top Chef ripoff? It looks more like a Top Chef/Iron Chef hybrid (4 different chefs every week from the schedule).
I'm pretty much Jessica on shows with the word "food" and "competition". I think I even caved and went back to watching Hell's Kitchen after I swore I'd give it up.
I hope Ted's better on this than on his Mr.Wizard/Good Eats attempt.

I tried to watch that show. Once. It was embarrassing beyond belief.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I know! I kept thinking, why is Ted yelling at me and pretending to be Alton Brown?

Yes. This. Exactly.

I think I gave it a second shot to see if Ted had stopped channelling Robin Leach, but then I gave up.

The Story of India
as I am cable-less, this was what I watched last night. It is hosted by my secret pbs boyfriend, Michael Wood. I was very amused that he got the colored powder treatment that the Amazing Racers had to endure.
then I watched On the Road Again: Travels in Spain, in spite of Gwyneth Paltrow.

I've got the companion book to his series on the Dark Ages from a few decades back. I really like him--he's my second favorite British PBS documentarian after James Burke.

Mine, too, Kathy. They both bring such enthusiasm to the work, but Wood is much cuter.

I'm in the middle of rewatching my tape of "How the Universe Changed" (taped when the Science Channel had a vintage-science-series marathon a few years ago), so I've got James Burke on the brain. In addition to being really informative, he's a hoot!
