On the FYI channel tonight at 7p.m. CDT is "Man v. Child: Chef Showdown,"
which will feature decadent desserts, if anyone is interested. There are
the Prodigies vs. a Chef. The kids (5, I think..two girls and 3 boys) are
very talented and the oldest I think is 15, while tiny Etsie Kung is the youngest at
8, but she looks like she is about 5. It's kinda fun to watch.

The prodigies are often the winners. Only one prodigy competes at a time; there are three
rounds. When the designated dish is announced, then the prodigies choose
which of them will compete against the professional chef.

John, you are such a purist snob...that program isn't on my watch list, but the subject came up
and I have watched it a couple times by accident, you might say.

However, since you insist on bragging about the lack of "TV tripe" in your life, you should refrain from
commenting. You obviously have no basis for a critique of anything on TV.

I've been near operating TVs recently and it's never been very pretty! I don't think I am missing that much, certainly avoiding a lot of acculturation crapola!

Yes, there are loads of crap on TV, but there are great shows on Nat
Geo, Smithsonian, Science channels. You have to be very selective.

Apparently JohnTheRN doesn't have a television so he's not in a position
to discuss it. He does, however, have a bunch of roommates and I'm
guessing one of them has a TV.

There is good television to be found, you just have to be selective.
And make sure you don't buy CHEAP STUFF FROM CHINA! (laughing)

Yes, but on the Internet it's ON DEMAND, and no commercials, and I AM very selective too. I''ve watched almost all Frontline programs, Nature and Nova, American Experience and a few others on PBS.org !! All on demand, free and NO commercials!!
