Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Experimental TV: Non-Fiction  

This thread is part of an experiment to discern the Buffistas' future interest in television discussion. It will remain open until June 1st, 2007, upon which date there will be spirited debate regarding the infinite possibilities for our board's development. This thread is for non-fiction tv, including but not limited to documentaries and reality shows. [NAFDA]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Wow, Jessica. Do you still have a copy of it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I haven't watched it, but a coworker's best friend is on it, apparently.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh yes, but it's on 16mm & mag tape, so not very watchable unless someone buys us a Steenbeck. We meant to get it transferred to Beta, but that was, oh, almost ten years ago? The cans are sitting in the bedroom closet. (I could still get it transferred, actually, through the post house we use for film transfers at work. He'd probably give me a really good rate too. Hmmmm.)

Talk about it over at WX has been making me curious about it.

ION, BBCA is running a Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares mini-marathon this morning.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have enjoyed OOL, but it feels like a show that may get canceled soon. Not only because the ratings are bad, but the production values of the show aren't as tight and sharp as some of my favorite reality tv shows.

If they showed less bickering and more time for films, I think this show might do a bit better. They also need to repeat it more than Fox currently chooses to do.

Since it's a summer reality series, and a Mark Burnett show, I think they'll probably let it run its course. (I could see them combining eps to make the series shorter, but cheapo off-season reality shows rarely get canceled, even on Fox.)

I almost said "Oooh!" but then I remembered I don't get BBCA anymore. Stoopid Cablevision.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Gordon Ramsey is hot hot hott. I know he can be kind of a dick at times, but is so passionate and knowledgable that it makes it easier to take.

Are they running the Fox Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares this summer? Because then there will be both the British and US versions running at once. Which is kind of fun.

How many LoM episodes are they running?

Oddly, I'm more interested in seeing the series now that I'm spoiled for the ending.
