Topic: Fess up... Are there any AMC fans watching The Chew?

Additional Comments:

I've actually watched it a few times.  It was kind of rocky in the beginning, but I don't find it to be a horrible show.  When I see a tease for an interesting cooking segment, I'll actually keep it on ABC for a few minutes and watch.

Daphne Oz obviously only has this gig because of who her father is, but I also watch her segments sometimes for healthy eating/living tips.

It has it's moments...Daphne's cute and the one dude's from Cleveland!! But, the END of an ERA...a whole other ball of wax. Wonder what would have happened if they went a totally different way and had it a 'Movie of the Day* and they threw a flick in there instead of all these news shows??

No. I've caught a few minutes but find the hosts unappealing, and the show stinks in comparison to what's on the Food Network.

I don't watch on purpose.  I turn on the tv while I fix my lunch and wait for OLTL.  I have to say, the show should be VERY cheap, indeed, to produce because has no substance.  The hosts are one-note, uninteresting, very bland people.  I don't know any of them and they don't intrigue me to want to know them.  They are just a blip, if that, on my radar screen.

I have no intention of watching what looks like, from the commercials, a moronic show.  If I'm home, I usually have the News on or watch something I've previously recorded.  I wouldn't ''reward'' ABC anyway because of AMC.

  • Adding: As far as tips go, your own common sense can prevail here. The tips I've seen on the commercials are just plain stupid IMO. MM

    Healthy eating tips?  You really have no idea?  You have a computer at your fingertips..you can get the tips there.

    I dunno'...to each his own.  I think if AMC fans are watching then they were not as upset about the cancellation of AMC and the treatment of the cast and fans from ABC as they might have said they were.

    Life goes on.  Watch whatever you want, of course...but you watch for tips on how to eat healthy..in this day and age where you're bombarded with that info?

    Okay I haven't eaten breakfast yet so I'm grumpy...but when I re-read the topic and saw that I thought "really?"

  • It's really rude of you to sneer about someone getting eating tips from a TV show. You want to get them off the computer, fine, but cut the attitude and don't tell other people how dumb they are for not doing the same thing.
  • I don't want to eat healthy and don't call me rude...one thing I will NEVER miss are the nasty holier than thou people on this board and I always kept my mouth shut but NOW I decided why the hell not say whatever the hell I want..and I am doing that...so you want to bust on me feel free...I'm busting right back to all the nasty people who were SO nasty to SO many for SO long. SORAS
  • The ''real jerks'' always show their true colors, it always amazes me how fast someone jumps on a poster, it has happened to me many times. I thought this was a board to voice an opinion not immediately get criticised. I thought SORUS made a good statement and she didn't aim it at anyone and I didn't see the word ''dumb'' anywhere. /goldie
  • Sorry, SORAS / goldie
  • The truth is that The Chew has no tips that a ''normal'' person would want. Only a moron would want tips from such a place and if someone can't see that, then so be it. .

    No.  I don't like Mario and Carla really gets on my nerves.  This is from seeing them on other shows.  NOT from watching The Chew. 

    I have no interest.  The entire concept bores me. 

    Apparently it's doing well enough in the ratings; good for them and whoever wants to watch this stuff...as if there are not enough cooking shows..even a "high concept" (ha) one like this is (lol)...as if there is not an entire network devoted to food.

    Never!! I have no desire to Ever watch The Spew! From the awful looking ads that I have seen, it doesn't even look like a Real Cooking Show, it came across as a Bad SNL Skit doing a take off on The Food Network!! To think that they replaced a beloved and Classic Soap like AMC with this Trash makes my head spin! Bring Back AMC!!

    I had some days off after Thanksgiving, and I was watching Debbi Morgan give a great AA meeting speech on Y&R. I caught myself watching the clock to switch over to AMC for the second half. Then I realized that Y&R doesn't overlap with anything else I want to see.

    I'll admit I saw a few minutes of the Chew. It felt like an infomercial. If I ever did watch a food show, it would be Rachel Ray. I remember being impressed with her when she did 30 Minute Meals on cable. The way she talked to the camera made me feel like I was actually in the room with her. The phrase "Too many cooks in the kitchen" exists for a reason.

    Posted by: No.... I have zero interest in watching this show. I usually watch Who Wants to be a Millionaire which in my area airs right before the Chew begins... and as soon as it is over I can't change the channel fast enough! I feel a tremendous aversion to the Chew.

    As far as myself..I have nothing to fess up about. I would never watch this show!! I saw the other day when I was watching the news someone from the show broke a bed while laying on it?? This is what replaced AMC???

    I've caught it more than once, but less than five times & have never watched a whole episode.  I just don't see the chemistry & I REALLY dislike the way that an intelligent chef/restranteur like Batali is made to look like a buffoon, which he is far from being.  I'd rather watch 5 minutes of him on Rachael Ray than 5 seconds on The Chew.

  • He wears orange Clogs - not a good look IMO. MM
  • MM: He has been wearing the orange clogs for yrs., far longer than he has been doing 'The Chew'. eom
  • Yes, I know he's been wearing the orange clogs - his trademark? Still, IMHO, not a good look (for anyone). MM
  • MM: There are a lot of clothes that chefs wear that isn't flattering for anyone! At least he doesn't wear those awful herringbone or check pattern balloonish pants that they have in the chef's supply catalogs! They've had the clogs (in various colors, including orange) for many, many yrs., certainly longer than MB has been around!! eom
  • Mario looks like a fool n those clogs. He needs to lose some weight.
  • To each his own in the world of Fashion. On my own note, no matter what he has on he doesn't have a ''clean'' look - JMO (especially for one dealing with food). MM
  • At least he pulls his hair back into a ponytail! We've got a head chef of a very popular restaurant here who NEVER pulls his greasy looking hair back or puts in under a hat! Everytime I've seen him he has had his thick, dark, greasy looking hair swinging out over open pots on hot stovetops--YUCK! I'd rather watch five minutes of Batali than this guy. A couple months ago I went to my favorite mexican stand at the farmers market & found a LONG hair in my tamale. ICK! The manager told me 'sometimes the flour comes that way.' Double ICK! I haven't been back since. eom
  • I give credit where credit is due and it is for Mario. He does pull his hair back but can you imagine how he'd look if he didn't? What a thought! MM

    It's my favoritist show in the whole wide world( yes, I know their is no such word as favoritist). I love how they talk with their mouths full of food and chew with their mouths open. I love the tips. Instead of using a napkin I can use a dish towel. Now that is classy. I also love how Dr.Oz's daughter gets her hair in the food. Great show.

  • LOL /goldie
  • and instead of using a vase you can use a tin can!!! MM
  • Oh WOW!! A tin can!? Who would have thought? That's a brilliant idea.
  • These hosts weren't hired for their looks alone (LOL)......they are ''brilliant'' as well. MM

    I couldn't possibly care less about this show and wouldn't regardless of the circumstances. Have you seen some of their lead ins? "Looking for an inexpensive meal idea? Chicken!" What a waste of my time. It's like monkeys got together and wrote a cooking show.

  • One was something like...in order to save money use smaller shrimp in your gumbo. MM
  • Usually they show you the best bits too in a show's lead in. I figured if that was their best shot, it was a waste of time. // Shea

    I have only seen the ads for it, I wouldn't watch it even if I wasn't mad about AMC. I have no interest in cook shows and especially not this one. Now, like understatement said, if they were going to roast Frons I would record it and watch it over and over with pleasure.

    I'd rather eat broken glass.  However, if The Chew ever decides to "roast" Brian Frons, with an apple in his mouth like the pig he is, I probably could be induced to watch that episode!

  • Now, that I'd pay to see. MM
  • ROFL! I'd watch that but then have to rinse my brain in bleach!
