Damn, I truly loved this show. Jon Favreau invites four
industry pros to a restaurant and they eat and talk about the business and they film it. Simple, brilliant concept.Sadly, the show has now stopped production. IFC is doing more scripted shows, and Favreau is much too busy with new projects (he's prepping John Carter Of Mars, a TV show, and a new movie, possibly with Vince Vaughn). If you check out the Dinner For Five site, you'll see a note from Jon, and he says he has created his own My Space page so we can keep track of what he's up to. And die-hard D45 fans can still talk about the show on their forums.
The first season of Dinner For Five is available on DVD. Hopefully the other seasons will be coming soon.

I second that 'damn'.
Although, I thought the best episode was when Kevin Smith hosted and poked fun at Favreau ("you know, when I directed Swingers...")

I am so sorry that Dinner for Five will not be continued. However, he needs to do what is right for his career. I was so surprised, in a wonderful way, that he graduated from my high school. WOW!
