Members DRW50 Posted August 2, 2012 Members Share Posted August 2, 2012 I watched this again last week and they had the most bizarre and endless segment about how kids had their lemonade stand shut down because they didn't have a permit. What this has to do with food, I don't know. Beyond that, they had some "reenactment" in black and white, with arty camera angles, as a cop shut down a lemonade stand, complete with a sad child in closeup and an official explaining. Gordon Elliott narrated in a creepy way and I just switched off. This show still seems to be a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 I can't find the ratings I saw a few days ago but I think they said The Chew was 44% down on AMC? I can't remember. Anyway, I don't know why they haven't made any personnel changes on this show. I think having so many people is what has driven viewers away, along with the lack of identity. I would get rid of Mario Battali at the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted August 21, 2012 Members Share Posted August 21, 2012 I think the major problem is that the focus of the show seems to have gotten away from food. A cooking show on daytime seems like something quite interesting, but few want to watch when a lot of the show is spent talking and joking about stupid things. Battali can be snotty at times, but I think that Kelly is the weakest link by far. He usually is the one going off on silly tangents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'll be surprised if the Chew lasts more than another season, maybe two at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 So, just checking, I shouldn't tell Michael Symon that you guys all say "Hi" when I see him this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 22, 2012 Members Share Posted August 22, 2012 I like Michael Symon - he's probably the best part of the show, although I like him more on the Food Network stuff like Chopped or Iron Chef. Tell him I hope he can get Carla Hall on the Food Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Delia Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm surprised Mario can even reach the kitchen counter with that giant belly hanging out in front of him. I agree way with everyone else way too much silly banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 I love me some Michael Symon. He is from my hometown (which also happens to be marceline's!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 23, 2012 Members Share Posted August 23, 2012 I havent watched in months, but I used to be annoyed by Michael and Daphne's giggle fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Delia Posted August 24, 2012 Members Share Posted August 24, 2012 Sadly, those still occur. Plus, Clinton was wearing shorts and flip flops. I guess if Mario can wear those crocs, the others can just show up in whatever. I wouldn't be surprised if someone showed up wearing sweatpants and a wife beater and they let them on anyway.
