She was never nothing but polite, if a bit cold but that was mostly in response to Frasier, Niles, and Martin being mean to her I mean, TBF to Frasier, she did kind of gently caress with his life by cheating on him with some french rear end in a top hat driving him to the ledge of a building, ready to jump.

Alton Brown has returned to his natural habitat: Iron Chef America. I missed Iron Chef and wish someone would air the original so I could just take in all the awesome Japanese food. edit: also, my culinary crush Stephanie Izard is killing it and is going to be Iron Chef Chicago and it's gonna be awesome.

They still make Iron Chef America? I thought Food Network had made it obsolete years ago by filling the rest of its schedule with lovely cooking gameshows.

This time is better because if you want you can ignore the competition for the first five weeks and just watch three episodes of one brave chef going up against the three best Iron Chefs that Food Network has to offer (Symon, Flay, and Morimoto).

Finally caught the fifth Hap and Leonard episode. While the investigation part was funny, the reveal of the murderer was just super  . Jesus, I teared up over TJ. 'Where'd his face go?'I said it before, lots of tv doesn't surprise me or affect me emotionally but at least once an episode I am left stunned or moved and it sucks it's on Sundance cause I feel like it's the greatest show nobody's watching.

It's not context-less you idiot. A shitload of blood splatter on a person and police cruiser and a shocked expression is a loving opposite of context-less. And after having watched the episode just now I can safely say that the loving image altered my experience during that scene.

My god I just finished Slings And Arrows for the first time. It's so, so good -- the King Lear season in particular. Absolutely amazing. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure, it's a Canadian comedy/drama about a theatre trying to put on various Shakespeare plays, and the difficulties involved. Each season focuses on a different Shakespeare, and part of the difficulty involved in mounting the production lies in the events behind the scenes beginning to mirror the events in the actual plays. Which should be a recipe for high fructose corn syrup, but it ends up not being at all. The entire thing is so gentle and funny for the most part, but then the final season just really rakes the entire cast through it -- but the thing that really gets me is how grounded and realistic it is. Despite having supernatural elements it's never particularly genre, and despite being a drama It's never melodramatic. Even when it's funny all the characters are themselves first, and joke machines second -- except for the two comic relief characters, who both turn out to be deeply unbalanced people. It's so, so good, and I think it's crazy that no-one really talks about it. I mean, you see it turn up in the occasional top ten lists, and critics like Sepinwall and Nussbaum talk really highly of it when it does come up. David Simon, who made The Wire, talked about how much he admired the show (and you can see it shares many of his sensibilities, if a completely different subject matter). Hell, Todd Vanderwerff did a whole big retrospective for the Av Club about five years back, back when the Av Club was a respectable name and had the content and coverage to back that name. But I don't think I've ever seen a show fall into complete obscurity so, so quickly. It's really very good.

Bonus points for probably being the last small Canadian production Rachel McAdams did before getting famous.

It's 7 chefs competing over five weeks to be the one person to face "the gauntlet", which is just Flay/Symon/Morimoto in a row. I'm not sure what will happen if they lose against the first person in the gauntlet, but I'm sure Food Network has thought that through. Or not. This is the network that has a show about professional chefs going up against "cons" and it's not called "Pros vs. Cons" (though the baking spinoff is called "Bakers vs. Fakers", and their new show about getting better ratings on a certain website is called "Help My Yelp" so they clearly understand the concept of rhyming).

Pro doesn't rhyme with con though. I mean yeah it makes more sense, but it doesn't rhyme. Maybe you meant alliteration? Bakers/Fakers and Help/Yelp also have alliteration, but pro/con do not. So I'm not sure what combination of rhyming or not would actually fit your weird problem with the name of the show. My problem with it is that it's a dumb show.
