BBC America

[VF21]

I am totally hooked on several BBC America shows, but one I finally caught today and can't believe I've been missing is Top Gear.

Other shows I watch regularly include:

Torchwood
Graham Ramsay's F Word
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares
Doctor Who

Another one I'm planning on catching is "Dumped," a reality show featuring teams of contestants who have to live off what other people discard...in a landfill. Now that's entertainment.

I watch Kitchin Nightmares-but I have only watched the American version, is the british version better?

I really like Top Gear as well.

You should watch these episodes (sorry VF, long shows, probably impossible for you on dial-up, but maybe let them load overnight?):

Killing a Toyota

Don't watch much TV other than Kings games, so most of the time I just catch individual shows when I can.

Hell's Kitchen is a competition whereas in Kitchen Nightmares he actually goes into a restaurant or pub and tries to turn it around in a short period of time. It's Gordon Ramsay vs. the owners/chefs of the restaurant in a manner of speaking and it's amazing how incredibly stupid some of the people actually are. Here the guy is, a proven successful chef, and they want to argue with him about things like used canned sauce on their pasta dishes!!

I know, I actually watch both of those shows. There is an American version of Kitchen Nightmares that was on during the summer. I'm hoping there will be another season- I used to hate not having anything to watch during the summer-especially with no Kings games!
