As if I need more tv but I just started checking out "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" & "You Are What You Eat"

Gordon Ramsay curses more than any human being on the planet He goes into failing restaurants & turns them around in 1 week, they usually fight the changes but he's always right. The last episode I saw had him telling a non-communicative head chef, "if you don't start talking to your staff I'm gonna shove this fork up your arse!!" I'm loving this show, wondering if I should start watching Hell's Kitchen too (doesn't seem as interesting though)

"You Are What You Eat" is merciless in it's descriptions of it's subjects. Basically individuals or families who've been nominated for an 8 week program to lose weight. The nutritionist on the show is a trip - the subjects have to take a dump & discuss it with her She can tell by their poo how their eating habits are, & all kinds of other stuff that effect mood, headaches, women's cycles, complexion, etc. It's pretty intense when they compile a week's worth of meals on one table & show it to the person - they're always shocked that they've eaten so much crap.

If nothing else, I've finally learned that 1 "stone" equals 14 pounds, which has stumped me for a WHILE now

So who else is watching BBC America? What shows? Turn me onto something good

i LOVE You Are What You Eat!! their reactions when she's got their poo right there are priceless.

That Mitchell and Webb Look is a sketch show that's pretty good

I'm sure I'm catching old episodes as I just started watching, but did you see the couple who ate an average of 100 hot dogs per year? & when the nutritionist showed them the contents of hot dogs & pulled out a hairy pig snout?? the wife had no idea what was in them, she about hurled

I love BBC America but I don't watch any of that crap. I'm watching Wire in the Blood right now, MI-5, Torchwood, Doctor Who, Hex, Waking the Dead, Inspector Morse, hell there's dozen more I watch.

I have been watching Kitchen Nightmares for awhile now...Gordon Ramsay is a bad ass...that is all there is to it. He is so creative with his swearing, its worth watching just for that alone. What kills me is that these idiots, who ask Ramsey to help salvage these failing resturaunts don't listen to him!! He's a world class successful famous chef who obviously knows what he is doing and people STILL don't listen to him. No wonder these places fail!! I also know that if you go to a resturaunt and its empty during peak hours to get the hell out of there...

Have you checked out Last Resturaunt Standing? Another entertaining BBC America foodie show.

yeah! i saw this one last night where a lady nearly puked from the texture of a plum

THE BBC!

It's better when you have it w/o American VO and commercial-free like we do in the motherland.

They need more shows on BBC America. I would love to see TOTP2 where they show classic performances of Top of The Pops

They don't show that?!

You get Top Gear, right?

We only get BBC World or News 24, I forget which. Should upgrade our cable so we can get BBC Prime at least.

Then we'd have Top Gear and OFAH.
