The Naughty Kitchen with chef Blythe Beck: anyone catch it?
It's a new reality show on Oxygen, Tuesday nights here, based around sassy rotund Chef Blythe Beck and her staff at Central 214 in Dallas...I sort of enjoyed it. What about you?

I am not sure. There are moments that are funny and watchable and then it falls flat for me. The jury is still out whether this is one show I will become addicted too.

Do you really consider this a cooking show? It seems like it's just Oxygens feeble attempt at jumping on the bandwagon. I'll stick to Top Chef, thanks.

It's not a cooking show per se, it is more about living the restaurant experience in front and back of the house. Frankly, we have enough culinary contest type shows, Top Chef being one of the better ones. I will have to see this show evolve though...

Indeedy do do, gutreaction, we have a plethora of culinary contests, which do not define "cooking show" to me. I missed this, but will try to catch it next week. Looks interesting. I miss the food channel of yore.

I'm burning out on cookreality TV. Not in the least bit interested in this one.

I asked the same question about a week ago, here's what everyone said:

Oxygen... that's one the channels i've programmed off my cable lineup... must be why I never even heard of it... is it just me, or this channel completely lacking anything worthwhile?

I posted this to FB and it was such a good rant, I'd like to share it here as well:
I saw a commercial for this dreck and won't give it a moment of my time. The "woman" supposedly running the kitchen looks like a drag queen/part time WWE wrestler in the WORST pancake makeup I've ever seen. I'm embarrassed for the show and its creators because they did such a great job with Ace of Cakes. Second time in the batter's box and just by the commercial, I can tell this is a horrendous flop.
If that f*ing monster ever barked commands at me, the 7,182,344 comebacks would crash together in my head causing spontaneous combustion.
Drama + food = garbage as proven with The Restaurant and HK. Over inflated shit is NOT "reality."
We don't need more food-themed garbage on TV. TVFN has a large keg of it to tap at nearly any time of day.

It was part of a conversation, arm1970 but thanks for the compliment - and friend me if you haven't. I have a very hard time keeping track of screen names/real names.
Come on, Pav - I thought the comment was fitting and pertinent here. At least I disclosed it was a repost! :D

???.... I agree with you Chiff... I just didn't have the energy to cut n paste my other response... Very fitting... I wouldn't watch that show on a dare.
