Blue Mountain State is surprisingly good; it stays within itself, which is important for shows of its ilk.

Ugly Bastard · 12-14-2010, 10:33 PM

Storage Wars is pretty good if you like Pawn Stars. Other shows I enjoy along those lines are Intervention and IRT Deadliest Roads.

I used to think that show was too vapid, but it's really grown on me. The homoerotic captain holds it all together and makes it worth watching, imo. Especially the most recent episode where he goes on a vision quest and gets all meta.

In other news the current season of Dexter was meh and the finale was especially weak.

Anyone seen "the Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret"? David Cross as an inept salesman in London. Only six episodes but it's pretty funny.

Saint DH · 12-16-2010, 08:36 PM

I thought the recent season of Dexter started off strong, but reached a limit, and each subsequent episode past said limit became more and more meh until the especially weak finale.

I'll check out that other show. I've always thought David Cross was pretty funny.

Todd Margaret is solid.

Mr. Blonde · 01-02-2011, 04:31 AM

Just caught the first ep. of The Wire. Seems pretty cool. So it's kinda like an extended, rated-R "Law and Order" with views from the criminal side as well, right?

Ugly Bastard · 01-02-2011, 11:29 AM

Sort of. Finish the first season. I think you'll find comparing it to Law and Order to be like saying Robuchon is like Applebees because both places have people who bring plates of food out of a kitchen and give them to you.

Mr. Blonde · 01-02-2011, 07:38 PM

Yeah man dunno what Robuchon is.

Ugly Bastard · 01-02-2011, 07:43 PM

Okay. But you can probably infer what it is based on my analogy, right? Like if that analogy was on the LSAT and you were asked:

"Is Robuchon a..."

A.) 24 hour diner
B.) High-end five star restaurant
C.) Drive-thru eatery
D.) Doesn't serve food

You'd probably be able to use your big boy thoughts and figure out that the answer is B, right?

Mr. Blonde · 01-02-2011, 08:26 PM

Yes, I figured it was expensive. But I thought I should note that i've never heard of it. From perusing the Wiki it seems to be a big Vegas thing?

Ugly Bastard · 01-02-2011, 08:27 PM

He has a few restaurants all over the world and they're all considered among the best/most famous restaurants in the world. I've never eaten at one, ftr.

Saint DH · 01-03-2011, 03:15 PM

I've eaten at 3 of them. It was ok, but nothing special.

thekremlin · 01-03-2011, 03:25 PM

Anyone watch Hung? I just started season 1. Seems OK.

Bullshit.

His restaurants are in:

Hong Kong
Las Vegas
London
Macau
Monaco
New York
Paris
Taipei
Tokyo

not:

Muncie
Warsaw
Ft. Wayne
Fishers

You must spread more reputation around before giving it to UB again.

Saint DH · 01-03-2011, 04:40 PM

I've been to London, Las Vegas, and NYC.

I've also been to Paris and Hong Kong, but we didn't eat at said restaurant.

Ugly Bastard · 01-03-2011, 04:47 PM

Pics or you've never left Indiana. And even if you do have the pics, and I'll bet $10 United States dollars you've never even been to two of those cities, let alone all three, I'm still calling bullshit on you ever having eaten at a single one of Robuchon's joints, let alone three of them.

Saint DH · 01-03-2011, 04:51 PM

I went with my family on all those trips. Therefore, any pictures taken were on their camera which resides at their house. I don't care if you believe me or not. I did lie though, I've only eaten at the one in NYC.

English food is shitty.

Saint DH · 01-03-2011, 05:00 PM

I actually have a funny anecdote while at Robuchon's. While consuming our food my brother gazes across the way and sees none other than Howie Long sitting at a table no more than 50 ft away from us.

thekremlin · 01-03-2011, 05:07 PM

I don't know whatall is being talked about but English food IS shitty.

Do we have a food thread? We should.

Back to TV Shows. I'm watching Dawson's Creek at work from back in the day. Such an amazing show. I still love Joey Potter.

DJ FC · 01-04-2011, 12:41 PM

It's funny that I've been surrounded by some serious foodies in London and I've never heard of this restaurant. Perhaps it's past it's prime and is no longer the creme de la creme?

Ugly Bastard · 01-04-2011, 01:32 PM

Whether or not it's past its prime isn't really the point. The point was that I needed a high-end restaurant to use in my analogy to Blonde, and at $200+ for a tasting menu, Robuchon was a great fit. Not all foodies are high-end foodies. Joel Robuchon's restaurants are the creme de la creme. Ask your foodie friends how many other restaurants they know of in London with 2 Michelin stars. You've got money. Try it sometime and report back, I'm curious.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
