Sorry, this went "wrong"?

From CNNs point of view, this couldn't have gone better. "Witness the human tradgedy, see the real emotion", or to put it more cynically, "come on bitches, cry on camera!"

Fuck, you see this shit on fucking COOKING SHOWS. "Why did you cook this? Is it because your INSERT DEAD RELATIVE thought you how to cook it? Come on, cry motherfucker, we have ratings to think of"

It's fucking disgusting

T.v. show?

Cooking show hosted by Alton Brown, pretty good watch.

Yea that would be gelatin sheets, that's what chef's use on the cooking shows I used to watch. Also, it's a pretty impressive desert, and the description is definitely accurate, however I'd stick to strawberries

Piers should be on a cooking show...

"Now here's my recipe for pie-in-the-sky"

and with a little motivation, even bank robbers can also have their own cooking shows.

Interesting production. Intro has all the transitions and music of a television quality cooking show with cellphone quality video and awful apartment lighting.

If I had a cooking show, you would get kicked off for using "Smart Balance - Light!" while making a grilled cheese sandwich.
How unfortunate that we never get to see what light-healthy-popular-omega-3-encrusted-soy "cheese" she was going to pull out of the refrigerator.
This video should be called, "How to make a flavorless, bready block of extracted whey protein slathered in "buttery" palm fruit oil while pretending to be drunk." I believe that first you need to learn how to make a grilled cheese sandwich, then learn how to drink. That's the order I learned it in at least. Then maybe you'd know what one would taste like.


Oh, and the lack of CHEESE wouldn't be a problem if we're going to be the serious *gay cooking police?

(Tag added for her lovely lesbianism, not as a slur)

This wasn't like super laugh-out-loud time - but super pleasant. I would totally watch a cooking show with Reg. I think he'd make anything good.

ever seen Good Eats?

I wish all cooking shows/videos were like this with some kind of sarcastic/dorky banter along with ALL the steps explained.
My biggest problem with cooking shows in general is when they simply gloss over huge steps and I'm left yelling to myself "WAIT what did she do there?!?!"


my gripe with this recipe is that the mint is only in the icing -- why not in the brownie?

The CBC provided most of what you just asked for (though they covered sports too) before their budgets were slashed a number of years ago. This forced them to cut back on the number of Canadian programs and air syndicated American reruns


Meh. I've watched 30 years of CBC - it was one of two channels we got when I was growing up, and often the only one that came in clearly. I don't see any big difference in quality over the years - they've always found a few hits and a lot of unambitious, uninteresting misses. Now that people have so many more options about what to watch, the value of that unambitious crap is really low.

We give them $1, and they make "Being Erica" and the "The Ron James Show". Why the hell would I want to give them another dollar? Why should we expect them to change philosophy if they had more budget? I mean, if it was unusual crap or an odd idea that didn't quite work out or a project that was too ambitious for its budget, then that would be one thing - that's the kind of problem you can solve with more money. But their lineup is full of cooking shows, generic sitcoms, and crap. There's no reason for public funding of any of that.

Public television is a great idea. There's all sorts of innovation, education, and general public interests that can be served that aren't served by a for-profit station. CBC needs to focus on those things. Also, hockey. I don't watch hockey - but it's undeniably important and the CBC should go way, way overboard covering things like the World Juniors. It makes people happy and brings the country together.

And I'll also agree with another poster above: CBC Radio is generally really good. It focuses on exactly the kind of stuff a public broadcaster should. It's hits and misses, but it's interesting, valuable hits and misses.

The CBC provided most of what you just asked for (though they covered sports too) before their budgets were slashed a number of years ago.

I think the CBC needs changes. It should produce educational content, children's programming, news and nothing else. There's no reason it should compete to show sports and general entertainment.
Especially the latter.
It has demonstrated a tremendous lack of skill in making the kinds of entertainment programs Canadians want to watch, despite aiming pretty low. Why, as a taxpayer, should I be paying for sub-par sitcoms and reality shows?
A public, independent news network without ads? Good purchase. Rick Mercer? He's great, but I think he'd get the ratings to survive elsewhere.
A few more daytime cooking shows - and still pressure from advertisers? Doesn't sound like a good use of taxpayer money.

Mostly with you. I feel CBC TV still needs to present hockey. Not sure why I do, just do. And our comedy heritage is in sketch comedy, and the CBC is the only place supporting that. If there were no CBC TV anymore, I wouldn't actually be upset. It's non-essential, especially considering most of the programming these days is indistinguishable from other channels -- Rick Mercer being one of the exceptions, but captured under sketch comedy.

But man, Canada without CBC Radio would be a whole different country. Just about everything there is a precious gem -- As it Happens, Wiretap, DNTO, Tapestry, Vinyl Cafe, Writers and Company, and old shows like Morningside, Richardson's Roundup (Sad Goat), and The Inside Track. It's also the only source of serious criticism of the government from people who are not just talk radio blowhards.

If for no other reason, Canada needs to have at least one broadcaster less unbalanced than the others towards corporate interests. Without that balance, the other broadcasters have no check.>> ^jmzero:
