Am I going to have to watch a new sitcom?
Man. I really didn't think this would happen, but at least it's coming on right after Arrested Development, so I can't complain. What is this show that Maki, the great hater of most television might watch, you may ask? It's Kitchen Confidential. I know, I know, the premise sounds absolutely atrocious. But really, the cast has 3 of my favorite dudes from other TV shows on it, so I may have to watch. Damn. I wasn't prepared for this...
- Bradley Cooper, aka Will from Alias. The absence of this guy is the reason the show went in the tank following season 2. It's so odd, considering I wanted to see him killed off throughout the entire first half of season 1. Yet he made such an awesome comeback in the last half of that season and the entirety of season 2 that he became my favorite character on the show. Nice to see him get a lead roll, even if it's in something like this.
- Nicholas Brendon, aka Xander from Buffy. Awesome, awesome awesome for those first 3 seasons, until they all graduated high school and he became a directionless moron. I know that was kind of the point, but it still made me like his character a lot less. Best supporting character ever (for 3 seasons, at least.)
- John Francis Daley aka Sam from Freaks & Geeks. WHY YOU HATE JUDD APATOW SO MUCH TV NETWORKS.
- Jaime King and Bonnie Somerville. Who cares what they were on. I can't watch a show of all dudes and these chicas esta muy caliente!
Will I make it home by 8:30 pm (well, 8pm for AD?) THE RACE IS ON.

Get Tivo. My TV-watching schedule cannot be bound by the mere constraints of what time things ACTUALLY come on. How third-world.
PS If you get Tivo, I'll give you my email to use as a reference, so I can earn tivo points. Muchas gracias.
I have Tivo so I am lucky. I can record and watch quickly. But I try not to get hooked. I have my few vices and I don't want to add any more to that.
My parents, however, start watching every new show every season and then start picking and choosing. They watch a lot of shows too. Ick.

I've heard great things about the show and will definitley check it out. I also love Brad Cooper and think the same thing about his leaving Alias.
Freaks & Geeks ROCKED.
and i am SO pissed that i have class monday nights and therefore will NOT EVER EVER BE ABLE TO WATCH AD EVER AGAIN. SO PISSED.
I heard this is a great show, but missed it! When I heard Bradley Cooper was in it I thought I was gonna die!!! Man, I'm such a girl! And then you throw in Nicholas Brendon and I mean how can you miss with these guys in it.
We are planning on getting DVR so I won't miss it ever again. Whoo Hoo.
I'm sorry, I have to point this out.

Check out Matt stopping the streak dead in it's tracks.
I don't have cable and only watch maybe a total of 3 to 4 hours of TV a week, so getting TiVo seems like kind of a waste. Whenever I get cable/satellite I'll get one, but until then I'll be catching stuff as it airs or, well, not taping since I lost my VCR remote and it's pretty much a worthless contraption without it.
And Six, I used to download, but then the damn MPAA/RIAA shut down all my torrent sites that I used. Got links to any reliable ones?
As for the show? Well, Arrested Development was its typically fast-paced insane self, which was good (though not great). Kitchen Confidential seems like it really won't show its true colors until the next few episodes. It followed the standard procedure for TV pilots, with the lead character's backstory explained, supporting characters given brief, rough sketches and all ties to main character's previous life severed by episode's end.
Not as funny as I was hoping, but I did enjoy the scene with the drunk chick in the changing room. I was expecting the typical, "oh, look at the bad timing, nobody will believe him" scene. It could have been that typical sitcom scene, but FINALLY one character calls the other one on the fact that he'd be an imbecile to be doing that. I've always wanted to write a scene like that making fun of the stereotype.
I'll give it two more episodes. The cast is too good to pass on, and even included John Cho from Harold and Kumar, even if he was barely used. Of course, it looks like he's scheduled to leave after a few episodes, so oh well for that.
I only watch 3-4 hours of TV a week too. But damn sure when I sit down to watch it, I want to watch whatever 3 or 4 hours I've CHOSEN, deliberately, not just whatever crap happens to be ON. Of course, I have a boyfriend with an unmanageable array of season passes to like 15 shows or something. Deadbeat :-) (And I have tivo before I had the boyfriend, so even then, I justified it!)

First one requires registration and kinda checks if you are seeding, the others don't care. Consequentially, the first one is typically faster downloading. Ranked in order of goodliness imho.

Thanks, Six. Just so you know, Torrentreactor and Torrentspy are monitored. That's why I never use them, but I'll give the other ones a shot.
