And when he said it was shit (except for the desserts which were revealed via facebook to be all store bought) they were beside themselves.

Oh I missed the store bought desserts thing. Haaaah.

[Trotskilicious]

yeah i should have mentioned the "WALMART DOESNT MAKE THEYRE TOYS" comment was RE: cakes being bought from marie callendar's and cheesecake factory

Comment from Youtube:

It's a money laundering operation. There's a reason why Samy is the only person allowed to touch the till. He's racking up phony receipts to account for the cash thats flowing through the place. He's washing money for someone. I'll bet they're claiming half a million in sales a year.

[Tchocky]

Apparently Amy tried opening a credit card up in someone else's name about ten years ago, and was sued by the government.

oh it wasn't a student loan

i still think it's weird that they'd want to draw this much attention to their money laundering operation but it does strongly, Strongly suggest mafia ties. Crazy italian guy, braindead mental spoiled "trophy" wife (for lack of better term), totally hopeless business. But why go on TV? I guess we'll know what the truth is if they both get whacked..

lol. I love when he pans her flavor profile. "This is the most confused dish I've ever seen"

I have never seen this show before and I don't know who Ramsey Gordon is but this was very entertaining.

It would be absolutely hilarious if they were investigated by the IRS as a result of this episode airing

Chef Ramsey is the shit. He usually has to yell at folks to get through to them or get their asses in gear, but in this episode I don't think he yells more than once. He is so utterly shocked by the behavior of these nutcases and sort of stares in disbelief throughout the ordeal

[soniclovenoize]

What channel is this show on? My cables all fucked up.

[Eulogy]

Fox

[yo soy el mejor]

sometimes we watch full episodes of kitchen nightmares on youtube. the uk version is better because there's loads less yelling from everyone and it isn't so much of a production.

[Future Boy]

Wheres the fun in that.

Definitely. The American version is almost insulting in the amount of editing wankery and dramatic musical fills

[Trotskilicious]

such is american tv

[Eulogy]

american television, outside of reality shows, is really wonderful these days. let's not generalize too much here.

[Order 66]

network television not so much. cable/basic cable yessir

[killtrocity]

Outside the basic channels I would agree. 2,5,7,9,12 put out some truly crap shows, but I guess that's always the case

edit: yeah what he said

[Eulogy]

the fact that Breaking Bad, The Americans, Mad Men, Rectify, American Horror Story, Veep, Family Tree, Girls, Parks and Rec, Archer... and some others I'm forgetting are all airing right now is really phenomenal.

[Trotskilicious]

i read that P&R is back off deaths door and is doing more eps, is that true?

last year it was like 10 more and cancelled and then the other day i was reading that it's still going

okay network american television is a vast field of horseshit police procedurals, singing competitions, and dumb reality programming

[slunken]

i'm confused was there ever a time when america wasn't the leader in broadcast entertainment

[Trotskilicious]

what does that mean exactly, though

[slunken]

i think it would mean that they set the standards that everyone else copies

[Trotskilicious]

that would be false then

[Trotskilicious]

american entertainment sets a very low bar for "standards"
