I was a fan of
The Soup back when it was called
Talk Soup and was hosted by Hal Sparks (I'm too young for the Greg Kinnear and John Henson eras). I've become a fan of Joel McHale and appreciate his writing staff and his comedic timing. Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think that
Talk Soup would ever become a franchise like
Law & Order ,
CSI , or
NCIS .
Soon four versions of the soup showed up on E!'s sibling channels:
The Dish (on Style),
Sports Soup (on Versus),
Web Soup (on G4), and
Celebrity Soup (the British version), but none can compare to the original.
The Dish is funny for female oriented television as
Sports Soup is for watching the most awkward sports shows.
Web Soup feels like a hiccup in the thought process.

One of my TV guilty pleasures is
Boy Meets World , the 90s sitcom on ABC. I know, I know, it was lumped into all of the other TGIF shows, but it was actually quite good. Anyway, Danielle Fishel, who played Topanga on the show, now hosts a
Talk Soup -like show on Style Network called
The Dish . Here she sends a reporter to the NBA finals and then has something to say about a scene from
Jon & Kate Plus 8 . (
Video also here .)

No doubt envious of all the buzz
The Soup is getting, E!'s sister channel, Style Network, is planning their own version. Premiering August 16th,
The Dish will cover more topics than The Soup including TV, celebrities, fashion and beauty. Here's the kicker though:
The Dish is set to be hosted by Topanga herself,
Boy Meets World 's
Danielle Fishel .
Style executive VP Salaam Coleman sums up
The Dish 's appeal, saying, "What's great about
The Dish is that it takes a not-so-serious look at the often very serious world of fashion and finds the comedy in celebrity lifestyle." Well yes, that would be great--in theory.
The problem is, this is a type of show that is very difficult to do well. You need a strong group of writers and a charismatic host. While
The Soup may be the toast of the town now, it kind of sucked when it first aired. While two of
The Soup 's executive producers are behind
The Dish , I'm not sure if Danielle is going to quite have the "pop" that this show is going to need.
At 7, ABC has the Sprint Cup NASCAR Banking 500 race.
TBS has Baseball Playoffs all night.
At 8, ABC has College Football, Oklahoma vs. Miami.
At 7:45, ESPN has College Football, Georgia vs. Arkansas.
Food Network has an Iron Chef America marathon.
Food Network has an Unwrapped marathon all night.
I was a fan of 
CSPAN2 has new episodes of Book TV all night.
At 8, FOX has a new Cops.
At 7:30, ABC has the Sprint Cup: Bank of America 500 NASCAR race.
No doubt envious of all the buzz
