Fox's New Show B*tches Sounds Bizarro.
Here's a concept we've heard before: Four female friends live, laugh, and love in the big city, navigating the ups and downs of single life and falling back on each other for support when a romance goes stale. Except this time, in a new pilot from Fox, the women are werewolves. For reals!

I am so not kidding.

"We blew up a papaya/just like a girl's brain/and our formula stopped it/from happening again."
That's just one of many hilarious rhymes found in Fox's little holiday gift to us, a "Happy Fringemas" video narrated by Fringe's own Walter Bishop (who, incidentally, is holding his own right now in my Best New TV Character of 2008 poll). The video essentially retells the story of Fringe's first season so far — including some of the gory Pattern cases, so, uh, put that breakfast or lunch down before you watch — in the style of The Night Before Christmas, with plenty of Walter's trademark humor along the way.

What would the food industry be without reality TV food competitions? 2008 was filled with interesting characters, odd-ball personalities, and plenty of heat in the kitchen. We covered the three main shows: Top Chef, Next Food Network Star, and Hell's Kitchen.

Maybe my expectations were low, but I was impressed by the two-hour 24 "prequel" to the seventh season, "Redemption." Here are a few thoughts on why I liked it:

Think Will Arnett's a funny guy? So do I. And so does Fox, apparently, because the network has just given him a mammoth deal to star in a new comedy — over which he'll have virtually complete creative control.

I imagine Edina and Patsy would have a few choice words to say about this.
Fox is looking to remake the British comedy Absolutely Fabulous. This new version of the comedy would be set in LA but attempt to retain the essential flavor of "the friendship of two boozy, over-40 best friends who are desperate to stay hip and youthful."

Last night we got a double dosage of Kitchen Nightmares. First Gordon Ramsay fixed up Trobiano's and afterward he headed to the Black Pearl. My favorite part was when Ramsay taught the chef and owners of Trobiano's how to make homemade mozzarella.

Last night's Kitchen Nightmares was all about one family's struggle to run a restaurant. The overbearing dad has diabetes, the son feels like he's never good enough, and the mom is stuck between the father-son battles. Although Gordon Ramsay manages to piece the family back together, the emotional episode made me wonder how I would feel if I worked in a family-owned restaurant.

In a deal between Fox and star chef Gordon Ramsay, the chef has signed on for at least two more seasons of Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares, a live cooking special, and — get this — yet another series.
Ramsay's third show will be based on his current British series Man Camp, a sort of boot camp for men, who are put through physical and intellectual challenges.
The live cooking special will encourage "young, vibrant, and tenacious" viewers to cook a meal with the chef at home.
