And while the game show was LAME, the music was rockin' (thanks, Patrick!) and it was fun to see Ted and AB together in the interview sequence. I actually didn't like Marsha in the way they brought her back - it was too forced to me. In talking to a lot of the folks who went, it was clear this was much better in person than they could do on TV. I, too, hope they do a fuller/uncut version on a dvd in the future.Yeah, its Menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558317663186845446.post-80659015069659493562009-10-14T04:53:46.540-04:002009-10-14T04:53:46.540-04:00I thought that it was good, because it was in fron...I thought that it was good, because it was in front of people and you got the reaction of what he wanted from the different things that he was doing on stage. The coolest thing that I think that he did on the show, because he did it on Jimmy Fallon's show, was the smoothie with the extiegusher(sp?), because he had turned into a cooking tool for one thing. The pancake cake was a little strange, but the frosting was awsome.tiggergirl19https://www.blogger.com/profile/02644570900036133867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558317663186845446.post-4274615347130615572009-10-14T01:18:09.795-04:002009-10-14T01:18:09.795-04:00Good Eats did indeed deserve better.

Sounds like the live show was a great time for those lucky enough to be there but the translation to TV fell flat.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558317663186845446.post-9490698927148173402009-10-13T23:42:30.292-04:002009-10-13T23:42:30.292-04:00Ted Allen really bores and bothers me.

Plus, Chopped so totally sucks, as did his "food science" show that seemingly got canceled.<br /><br />I've only watched the first part of the special, and so far it's not that special.reddothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04294356005046216763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558317663186845446.post-88534697449017621842009-10-13T20:02:12.593-04:002009-10-13T20:02:12.593-04:00I actually enjoyed it, but it sure does sound like...I actually enjoyed it, but it sure does sound like we viewers missed the bulk of the good stuff.

Alton, please don't try to go up against Letterman or Leno. You just don't have the chops. The show was awkward, unprofessional, and boring. I'll try not to let this affect my appreciation for everything else you do on Food Network.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701743049195928085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558317663186845446.post-75433522003165527372009-10-13T17:22:07.544-04:002009-10-13T17:22:07.544-04:00I enjoyed the show up until the pancake thing at t...I enjoyed the show up until the pancake thing at the end.

We were in the second row and laughed our butts off for THREE HOURS. So I'm amazed at how they managed to turn such a fun event into an hour-long suckfest. Seriously - the Good Eats characters were there and did interviews with Ted, Alton came out as The Colonel, they talked about the band -- why did none of the good stuff get on the air? Very upset, but hopefully they'll be uncut performances on the Season 10 DVD?Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10363257896487572334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558317663186845446.post-43438184172569513412009-10-13T16:34:21.918-04:002009-10-13T16:34:21.918-04:00OMG!

I actually fell asleep during the game show and my DVR wasn't set so I have yet to see the end but it doesn't seem like it's worth tracking down anyways. I felt bad that I disliked it so much that I didn't want to say anything. I am considering going to his book signing on Sunday in Austin. I hope he doesn't ask what I thought of the 10th anniversary show.John S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13084960818600506226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558317663186845446.post-64782102162289546412009-10-13T16:22:08.546-04:002009-10-13T16:22:08.546-04:00I totally agree with your assessement!

I would have much preferred a "behind the scenes" style show, where we got to know more about the people involved, how it's produced, outtakes, etc.<br /><br />That said, I still love the show!Jiunweihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418789137168364579noreply@blogger.com
