"Tall Grass" is fairly common - exchangeable for "In the Weeds", which you'd know from just about every cooking show on TV.

"The napkin!"

Okay, now that Amy's intro is thankfully gone…
… time for the Important Stuff. Capital I, capital S.

Whereas I generally share Sorkin's loathing of TWOP (which was at the height of its irrationally haughty self-indulgence during that period), so I don't really mind taking a shot at the mumu-wearing sycophants.

S3…
… is still an interesting one for me. It gets really lost early on, but then there's my personal favourite episode of the series ("Bartlet for America") coming up in it. Sorkin obviously had no idea what to do with the show post-9/11, which was a shame since the show enjoyed its height of popularity in those first…

Yeah, but he could have at least planned it out a bit. I'm pretty sure they didn't even know what Bartlet's electoral college vote was - there's three episodes post-election that don't line up with each other for basic facts like that.

You have just effectively admitted to never having watched an episode of Good Eats.

Doesn't ABC already have an older-skewing version of Bones…
… in Castle?

The picture doesn't mean much of anything. Especially as it presumes that people actually watch the reunion episodes or anything else associated with Andy Cohen.

In the words of Owen Nolan, boo-hoo.

I'm still 99% convinced that the original "I'm not going to lose to a girl" comment was prompted by the producers asking him, and then cutting off the response in editing before Mike got to "… I'm not going to lose to nobody!" in his answer.

"How about him completely lying to Antonia's face about why he picked Morimoto and Bernstein with that smirk that let her know he was totally lying at the same time? "

I don't care how Mike looks or acts, he's beating the hell out of everyone else in the kitchen right now and that's what matters.

I miss the McDLT.

"and they always have 3 chefs for the final episode. "

Also sounds like the Aussie show "My Restaurant Rules", but that had the great twist of taking place in real-time and having people vote for the winners a la American Idol.

@Disco - Fables hasn't been great in a long enough time that it would be okay.

Todd got it right…
… release the vote totals. I know how many votes Robbie Alomar got for the hall of fame, I should know how many votes Black Swan got for Best Picture.

"and he would get smoked in the first round of Top Chef Masters. "

"I remember the judges giving Hung a hard time because he would make a masterful plate of food but they claimed that it didn't have any soul. "
