    Another piece of junk from Fox. Oh, great idea, let's have the star totally destroy ANY self confidence the contestants have. Are you listening, Simon? I'm proud to say I've never seen any episode of American Idle. This show is no better.

    Leave it to Fox to take something the Brits did pretty well and muck it up.

    Kitchen Nightmares pushes all of the proper emotional buttons to draw we viewers in. But we're never for a moment able to suspend the notion that we, the audience, are being played.

    Kitchen Nightmares is shockingly good storytelling and hilarious. This may be the most compelling show of the new season
