This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
I highly recommend their book - the story of how they found the farmhouse and got into the business is really good. And it's a quick read, when I was on vacation I got through it in an afternoon. (I wonder how many people who only know them from TAR realize that Beekman is the name of their farm and not their actual last name?)
[eta: This book, not the cookbook.]
Everyone should go read the the Beekman's blog post about winning TAR. Awww. Those boys are good eggs,even though they were kind of annoying on the show at times.
Aw. Love!
OMG, those Beekman Boys are sweet.
Very lovely post from the Beekmans.
Also - Cooking Channel is repeating the show (Fabulous Beekman Boys): caught an episode yesterday.
Finally caught up on TAR, yay, boys. I would also have been good with the Chippendales winning, but the way it all shook out, I was happiest with the goat farmers!
So one of my favorite shows on my local PBS station is "This Week in Northern California" hosted forever by the much-loved Belva Davis. Since she just retired (at 80!), they are having guest hosts each week. Today's was Yul Kwon of Survivor fame. It was odd.
He hosted a PBS miniseries last year, so I guess he's trying to make a go of TV, but keeping it classy?
I am VERY pleased with the Survivor winner.
I agree. I don't recall the last time it was that someone I wanted to win a reality show actually won.
That was a surprisingly bitter final tribal council given how geneally nice the final three (four, even) were.
