Just finished watching a special on the annual Gingerbread House Competition in Asheville, NC. Those people are nuts. Of course, it’s something my wife wants to do someday, so I’d never say that out loud…
Speaking of nuts… right after that show the Iron Chef USA came on. Usually, Americanized versions of foreign shows are pretty sucky. But when the whole point of it is to be stupid, well… let’s just say it plays to our strength… (Yes, it really stars William Shatner. I thought we were going to die laughing at the opening.)
This is still on? I remember when it was on UPN or something a few years back. The handful of Japanese Iron Chef eps I’ve seen leave it in the dust, even if it IS Shatner doing what Shatner does best: Shatner.
Shatner doing Shatner: things just don’t get any better than that.
