I could probably write something about politics, sex, healthcare, education, or religion and it wouldn't be as controversial as what I'm about to say: Anthony Bourdain is wrong and Sandra Lee is right.
If you haven't been keeping track of the things Bourdain has been saying about the Food Network host, here's a quick summary.
Bourdain wrote some unkind things about Lee and her
Semi-Homemade Show (and some other Food Network hosts) a couple of years ago. Among other things he called her "pure evil," a "hell spawn," and said "she must be stopped." Ouch. There's also
this video of Bourdain at a food festival dumping on Lee, and now Bourdain has written on his blog about his
recent brief encounter with Lee. at the premiere of
Julie & Julia.

If you watched
the finale of The Next Food Network Star, you know that homemaker, non-pro cook Melissa D'Arabian was the big winner. Hopefully, you really, really like Melissa and not just the pilot she created for the competition,
Kitchen Survival Guide, because
Food Network has shucked the concept.
That's right, less than 24 hours after cleaning up the confetti, Ms. D'Arabian was handed a new show with a new angle. The title will be
Ten Dollar Dinners with Melissa D'Arabian.

Annie recently posted her
top 10 Kristen Wiig Saturday Night Live moments, and I happen to agree that Wiig seems to be one of the
SNL MVPs now. Remember just a short time ago when she was in the "featuring" category instead of one of the main players? She's earned it, that's for sure. Even when her impersonations aren't dead on (such as
this past weekend's Elisabeth Hasselbeck), you know who she's doing, and she really throws herself into the character. I think her Hasselbeck will get better, and her other impersonations have been just dead-on and brilliant (Judy Garland, Suze Orman, Gloria Swanson, Jamie Lee Curtis).
But I was thinking that there are three other people that would be naturals for Wiig to impersonate.

Nice guys will always finish last while Anthony Bourdain is on the scene. If you don't the know the chef turned best-selling author and Travel Channel host, than you've been missing out. Bourdain brought gonzo to the kitchen, or out of the kitchen as the case may be. His first tome
Kitchen Confidential was a Hunter S. Thompson-inspired machismo trip through the world of haute cuisine. Chefs are bad asses in Bourdain's world of sex, drugs and rock and roll. They are the magic men (and the occasional woman) who conjure the sacred from the profane. The journey between the raw and the cooked is not for the feint of heart.
Now that Bourdain's got a few seasons at the Travel Channel under his belt, it's no surprise that he should feel compelled to hold forth on the relative merits of food on television.

Best:5.
The Backyardigans A preschoolers' show I'd watch
if I didn't have kids. Yes, when you drove past my house the other day, that was me dancing along to "I love being
a princess!"
4.
Law & Order: Criminal Intent I thought I couldn't watch
the show without Vincent D'Onofrio. But Chris Noth and Annabelle Sciora have the kind of vulnerable-yet-professional
chemistry that I never dreamed possible between Chris and Sarah Jessica Parker or Annabelle and James Gandolfini.
3.
Grey's Anatomy It's kooky, it's outlandish, and all the characters, I can't help
but love 'em despite their annoying peccadilloes. And who knew I'd fall in love with Dr. Bailey?
2.
Medium I'd watch it just for the family drama. But the mysteries are fantastic, the
writing eloquent and witty, the twists always fool me until 52 past the hour.
1.
The
4400 Sci fi that transports, characters that draw me in, and it's coming back in 2006. Hurray!
Worst:5.
Saturday Night Live My husband still gets
excited about Saturday nights. Until I remind him,
honey, it's just not funny!4.
ER I'm so sad that I hate Thursdays now. I used to
love Thursdays.
3.
7:30 p.m. timeslot There's nothing good on at 7:30 p.m., not
even on the Food Network. I hate 7:30 p.m.
2.
Sandra Lee's Semi-homemade Cooking
Make it from scratch or buy it from the store. And either way, aren't we all old enough now to admit whether we can, or
cannot, cook?
1.
Out of Practice Stockard Channing, Henry Winkler,
what have ye
wrought?
Gone Too Soon: Invasion
Scrubs season nine -- An early look
The TV Squad Podcast: Vik Sahay of Chuck, Oprah talk, brutal timeslots, and more!
