Eh, I actually agree with just about every one of your (our?) choices, I think that Sunny Anderson should have at least been nominated for best female. Judging by her recipes, she actually knows how to cook and is shiny and happy without being Rac(a)el Ray’s “too” shiny/happy. Granted, the name of her show needs some help, but she actually has a watchable show.

Tough to see how a show like No Reservations could “jump the shark.” It’s pretty much the same format it has always had. Tony travels around the world, eats food and makes observations. Jumping the Shark refers to a plot contrivance or stunt that is used to prop up a dying show with bad ratings. Short of adding Chris Tucker or Andy Richter as a sidekick, I’m not sure how No Reservations could do that. If you don’t like Bourdain anymore, that is your opinion and you are most certainly entitled to it. Obviously, we happen to disagree.

Funny that you say Good Eats should qualify as college credit. It did for me! I attend the university of Georgia and took a class that integrated many episodes of Good Eats.
Also, you like Robin Miller? Seriously?

IMO Bourdain jumped the shark a long time ago. His snarky attitude is old at this point. He peaked during Cook’s Tour and the first season of NR was decent with a few stinkers but I just can’t watch him anymore.
