Kitchen Confidential

I was really looking forward to seeing this new show. It stars Bradley Cooper ("Alias") as a bad-boy-chef. There are TONS of characters in this show. Which could be a bad thing, but wasn't so bad. Jaime King is a really dumb hostess, John Francis Daley ("Freaks & Geeks"!!!!) is a cook who looks, oh, about twelve and isn't treated well by everyone in the kitchen. John Cho (Harold & Kumar) is the seafood chef who just wants a working Visa. Anyways, the show is Bradley Cooper's, and he's great. Tons of charisma, but we knew this from Alias and Jack & Bobby. Darren Star was involved in this one, and it's much better than The Comedback on HBO and has some good potential. Much more accessible and much less irritating. This is one for the Tivo Season Pass.
