He tells them what they need to do to fix their problems- which of course none of them want to do because it involves admitting they're all morons. There's also a Kitchen Nightmares Revisited where he goes back to places he's been before.

Hell's Kitchen is on Fox. It's ind of like Top Chef except it all takes place in Ramsay's restaraunt Hell's Kitchen and the only judge is Ramsay. Ramsay is a very "ascerbic" character and likes to yell & swear at everyone.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh right - THAT'S the guy. Personally, I HATE how that show (Kitchen's Nightmare) is pitched; it's so incredible sensational and they're obviously trying to grab cross-market from people who like Simon Cowell from Idol.

HOWEVER, despite the poor marketing, I've caught a couple of episodes and I actually think it's a great show; I really like how he turns those restaurants around. The last show that I saw was a "recap" where he revisited some of the restaurants that he made over and it was a great episode. I haven't committed to the show, but I've liked what I've seen.

I fancy myself something of an elitist with regards to television, mostly news and Jeopardy. The last thing I'd expect to like would be a cooking show. But my wife started watching Top Chef and I'll be darned if I can't tear my face away when it's on. And it's not because of the fox with the long black hair. The show is well nigh addicting.

The shows I enjoy most are the older ones: Combat (my all time favorite), Star Trek, The Addams Family, The Beverley Hillbillies, Johnny Quest :)

If it's on, I'm there, and it's somewhat interesting I'll watch it usually. Often times it's just noise in the background anyway.
