Oh cool. Season 17 was the first one that I watched and I enjoyed it a lot. Looking forward to seeing this
I basically bingewatched the first 8 during the quarantine, but I want to pick it up again.
Season 6 is the only stinker of the first 8 imo.
Thats a pretty solid ratio of good seasons. I might pick it up from the start. The season I watched was All Stars so it would be nice to see their earlier appearances

Sam Esmail Makes 2 Big Drama Sales To ABC – ‘Acts Of Crime’ With Production Commitment & CDC Project As Put Pilot
Mr. Robot and Homecoming executive producer Sam Esmail has sold two dramas to ABC.
Crime procedurals aren't my thing, but Esmail writing and it being a unique spin on the format has me intrigued.
It's an animated special (likely due to COVID) that they wanted to put out before the election.
Oh, cool. Thanks. Given the start of the season I guess they didn't really have a lot of options of when to do it before the election. Pretty interesting that it will be fully animated. I'm looking forward to it

How could it not be that bad? It has "dreadful" right in the name.
I've never watched a single minute of that show. I have no idea if it was good or not. I just wanted to make a play off the word dreadful
It was okay. It never made a strong case for itself though.

It's weird to put it out and then have a pandemic based episode that is live action.
The new show didn't feel nearly as compelling as the original.

Yeah! I think I they pull most of season 17 All Stars from post-season 8, but I did see they brought Lee Anne and Lisa back. Kevin is in it too and he is the only good soul from season 6.
I do believe season 6 was waaaaaay too white in its casting. There is, if I remember correctly, one black chef (he's Haitian), two latinos (one gets the boot in episode 1) and one Indian-American. They clearly got criticism for this, because season 7 was easily the most racial diverse cast up until then. I think I'll get back to watching season 9 onwards next month.
Nice. Sounds pretty good. I think I know some of the people you mentioned from season 6. I'm guessing the Haitian chef I was super excited about in Season 17 might be the one you were referring to. Was season 6 the first you noticed where there was a distinct lack of diversity among the chefs like that season is a special case? Only problem is when I watch these kinds of shows, I get super hungry. Haha, might have to pace myself on how much I binge watch it.

Tuesday night's ratings. Full and final ratings for last night's Presidential debate will be out later today, but here is a taste of how it did on the four major networks:
ABC won the night with an average of 10.91 million viewers.
NBC came in second with an average of 7.95 million viewers.
CBS came in third with an average of 5.28 million viewers.
Fox came in fourth with an average of 4.47 million viewers.
So the grand total from all four major networks was 28.61 million viewers. This is way, way down from the first Presidential debate in 2016 where the total from the four major networks then was 49.332 million viewers. Keep in mind, though, that between 2016 and now, a lot more people cut cable and watch streaming, so we'll very likely see high streaming numbers when those come in.

I think it was the first time I noticed, but looking back other seasons weren't exactly great at it. I think it just became really obvious because 5-6 white chefs really took center stage. Also, Ron being African-Caribbean and not African-American made that even more noticeable.
Then it becomes even MORE noticeable when season 7 does a great job at having a diverse cast (IIRC at least half the cast are PoC?).

While I obviously have no clue as to who she is, excited for her and this show!
I used to be a massive Top Chef fan so I wanted to recommend MasterChef Australia to you both since I've become obsessed with the show since 2016 and haven't been able to go back to TC or American MC. The focus is squarely on cooking and there are over 60 episodes each week. The show is a cultural institution in Australia. There's almost no reality TV show drama, just incredible, top-level cooking that is aesthetically beyond the cooking on TC/MC. But it's not dull at all, the competitors are extremely compelling people and most are easy to root for. I recommend trying out season 8 from 2016, I think that's a good one to start with. Season 1 had a different format and wasn't great, but S2 forward is mostly excellent and the two Junior seasons are great also. The format is easy to get hooked on, 6 eps per week with mystery box, invention test, pressure test, immunity, team and elimination challenges. I'm currently watching the latest season which has new judges and it's been just as good as ever, and changing things up in interesting ways. It's an all stars season though so I wouldn't really recommend you start with it since some of the appeal of the show is in seeing home cooks develop insane skill sets.
I basically had no interest in or knowledge of Australia before we started watching the show, and we have been so blown away by it that we saved up and took a trip to Australia last year, mainly inspired by places they visit on MasterChef AU. The time we spent on Tasmania in particular was one of the most amazing weeks of my life, as a nature and food lover. And getting to meet a couple of the chefs featured on the show, and try their foods, was just amazing. We basically planned the whole trip around nature, animal conservatories and restaurants. RatskyWatsky has seen pics and will attest I never stop talking about it, lol.
Anyway. Check out MC AU people. It's so good.
UPDATE with cable ratings:Tuesday night's ratings. Full and final ratings for last night's Presidential debate will be out later today, but here is a taste of how it did on the four major networks:

NBC came in second with an average of 7.95 million viewers.

http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articl...cable-originals-network-finals-9-29-2020.html
Fox News attracted 17.812 million viewers, even beating ABC.
CNN came in second with 8.287 million viewers.
And MSNBC came in third with 7.189 million viewers.
The total amount of viewers that tuned in to the cable networks combined is 33.288 million viewers, which is almost as much as the Big Four networks combined.
I say almost because the final ratings for the Big Four networks are in, and adjustments for the final ratings went way up. So, here are the final ratings for those:
ABC: 12.620 million viewers
NBC: 9.666 million viewers
CBS: 6.379 million viewers
Fox: 5.436 million viewers
New final total: 34.101 million viewers
And the combined total of viewers from both cable and over-the-air networks is now at:
67.389 million viewers!
Unfortunately, we still do not have streaming ratings/numbers in yet, but I think we'll be getting them either later tonight or tomorrow. The combined total from over-the-air, cable, and streaming in 2016 was over 84 million viewers, and since more people watch TV via streaming now than they did in 2016, my best guess is that last night's Presidential debate will be around that same number, maybe a bit more.
I've heard mention of it before and heard good things. I'll have to check it out for sure. Do you have a recommended way to watch it? Just wanna know before I start hunting down episodes/seasons
Yeah, I like Top Chef but Masterchef AU is great if you care more about the food prep and less about the drama/characters.
Although I haven't watched the new season where they got rid of all the hosts... and also I don't know if having an "all star" season works for someone who has never seen any of the previous seasons. lol

Man, you guys are making me want to see MasterChef AU really bad lol
I don't totally hate drama/characters in the cooking shows but it is my least favorite part. Even though All Star was the first season of Top Chef I saw, I still enjoyed it. There were a few things to catch onto about their pasts and interactions and flashbacks but I didn't really feel lost with it.
