I think it's one of those shows where, if you didn't watch from the beginning, you wouldn't catch the character nuances, etc. It's kind of like reading Harry Potter. You can't start with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. 
Guy Fieri had a show on Food Network called "Guy's Big Project" where he was looking for a new face or faces to host a show similar to Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The show just concluded and there were two winners. Each winner was eligible to shoot a full pilot. Food Network execs were so impressed, however, that they gave them both short season series to see if they'd catch on. The series start this weekend.
The Grill Dads premieres on Friday at 9:30 pm, right after triple D.
Eat, Sleep, BBQ premieres Saturday at 9 pm.
To me, both shows have a great chance at making it. Here's a bit more info:

Just finished the first season of 'American Gods,' the Starz adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel of the same name. It was one of the most visually stunning shows I've watched in a long time, and it comes with my highest recommendation. Apparently Bryan Fuller and Michael Green are departing the show because of contractual disputes, which is a damn shame. Fuller's inventiveness as a showrunner will be missed.
Sitting here with a glass of egg nog with just a bit of Fireball added for tang, watching the Doctor Who marathon. It's amazing to me that I can watch these episodes time and time again and almost always see something I hadn't seen before. One thing I am noticing is that Peter Capaldi truly did embrace the role and make it his own, like some of the best who went before him. I will miss him.
One of tonight's episodes was "The Husbands of River Song"...of all the characters over all the years, I think I miss River the most. Alex Kingston did such an incredible job. I still hear the words "spoilers" and "sweetie" in her voice when I read them anywhere.
Also on the agenda is "A Christmas Story," "A Christmas Carol" (the 1938 version with Reginald Owen), and "Scrooge" (the 1935 version). I already watched "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" and "Die Hard." What can I say?

Watched the return of The X-Files last night. I have one regret - I'm never gonna get that hour of my life back. Between a car chase that looked more like a Ford Mustang commercial than anything else (other than perhaps an homage to Bullitt) and a twist involving Scully that nearly made me vomit, I saw very little that would persuade me to tune in again next week. I loved the show when it first came out because of the cheeky feel, with the campy monsters, excellent writing, etc. I was never a fan of the underlying Mythology plot and would have been perfectly happy to never see it again.
Oh well. That's one less reserved slot on my DVR.
