| |  Emeril sitcom on NBC
I read yesterday that Emeril will have a sitcom on Tuesday nights on NBC starting in the fall. He'll play *surprise!* a chef. Given the fact that he's not an actor, how do you think this show will fare (no pun intended...  )?

Actually, this would be the perfect vehicle for him. BAM! there I said it. (or typed it)
Does this mean we will be spared the oversaturation of him on FOOD TV? |

LOL! We'll have oversaturation on NBC, CBS and ABC with all the talkshows! And I bet he'll have some energy left in him to continue BAMMING on the Food Network!
GRRRRRRRRR

| | Markdchef, I agree with you. Everytime I click to that channel, there he is. Could it be an American version of BBC's sit com called Chef?(absolutely halirious, anyone else ever watched this? ) If so, Emeril would not have been my first choice.

Mon, I'd watch that show! Maybe you should talk to some execs at the networks.

Chef! was a great show. Garreth Blackstock was hilarious. Too bad it went off the air.
I used to watch it on public television about five years ago. Wish they would put it back on the air. |

I loved that show, Logose and Markdchef!
Maybe Emeril's will be along the lines of "Kitchen Confidential"?? Who knows!

Chef! is on the BBC America channel, but I'm not sure when...so that's really not so helpful...

Career suicide!!! I cannot imagine how bad this will be. I actually don't have too much of a problem with Emeril on Food Network. Anything that gets people interested in good food is ok with me, but c'mon. Please, please go back to the kitchen where you belong.

Chef was a great show. I stopped my life to watch it. My favorite was the one where he went looking for unpasteurized stilton. There was another short-lived show called Tattinger's with Annie Potts as the chef and the guy who plays the minister on Seventh Heaven as the owner.

A chef who think he is to scream BAM every few minutes to sustain the attention of the public should take a few step back and look carefully at what he does. If I want to see clowns I’ll go to the circus.

Well, after all that screaming and mini-nervous breakdown, and now that I feel better for venting, let me tell you that I just loved BBC's CHEF!
Too bad they didn't make more episodes. They don't seem to know a good thing when they see one!
So, I thoroughly enjoyed it the time it lasted!
