Well, I'm going to watch it. Something about the fact that Shatner is the chairman---that's what got me.

Will Shatner's wardrobe be as flamboyant as Kaga's? Did you notice that if you click on "About the Show" he looks positively dwarfish?!? Bad camera angle.

I'll give it a whirl. It's not going to be as fun because they won't use ingredients like live squid, natto or bloody European hare.

I remember someone whining on alt.tv.iron-chef that the blood dripping from the duck press was too gross for children. I guess like most supermarket shoppers, s/he thought that meat magically materializes in styrofoam and plastic wrap without being slaughtered.

Plus, there won't be any funky fresh judges like Korn. ;)

In Shatner's bio, it says he's appearing in American Psycho II.


What??

So did anyone watch it?

I was too busy playing Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates. :)

Reviews, please. I heard it was pretty awful.

Food network is having an eleven hour marathon of the original the day after Thanksgiving. I just started watching the show, but I'm so hooked.

a haiku:

The chefs of iron thrill me,
But Shatner brings pain.
I will watch cartoons.

:D

Shatner: brilliant as Kaga. The only American (Canadian, really) who could pull it off.

The ingredient: Dungeness crab.

And the challenger made it into a DESSERT! Sugared crab legs with Old Bay sorbet! YES!!

I only caught the second half of the show, but Shatner's monologue at the end was perfect - just the kind of melodrama that character needs.

UPN, Friday at nine. They've got a second show taped, but they're presenting them as "specials," apparently to gauge viewer response.
