Tonight gave us our first real proper episode of “MasterChef” season 6, but let’s not pretend that it was anything different from some other episodes over the years. This was a fairly predictable hour of TV, and one that contained the standard Mystery Box and Elimination Challenge. Of the two, the Mystery Box was so […]
We have to admit that we were not altogether fired up about the premiere of “MasterChef” this past week, and there is really one simple reason for that: What did the show really accomplish here other than setting the stage for the real meat of the season? We really prefer the show when it just […]
We’re a little late with this particular “MasterChef” review, but we did want to get things started here before starting to resume covering the show in a little bit more of a timely fashion moving forward to the episodes ahead. The season premiere last week brought back much of the show that we loved, but […]
While we are happy to see the return of “MasterChef” to TV Wednesday night, we do have to raise an eyebrow ever-so-slightly at the timing of it all. Why in the world would you decide to introduce a season against the “Survivor” finale? It just seems to be a bad move to limit some of […]
You already know what is coming up on Fox the rest of the spring, but how about the summer? Luckily, we have some more news from the network on some upcoming premiere dates for the months ahead. Let’s start with “So You Can Think You Can Dance,” which is going to be coming up on […]
Well, that didn’t take very long at all. Simon Andreae became on Friday what we like to call the latest “Utopia casualty” over at Fox, as in his short tenure he failed to produce a new alternative hit for Fox. He was the replacement for Mike Darnell, who oversaw much of the run of “American […]
We’ve enjoyed “MasterChef Junior” over the course of this season, but going into Tuesday night’s episode, we admitted in advance that this is the one installment we were not really looking forward to. We don’t really like the dinner service sort of challenges, mostly because it takes away some of what gives this show an […]
If there is one episode of “MasterChef Junior” that we are probably not looking forward to as much as others, it is the one that makes us feel a little too much like we are in “Hell’s Kitchen.” We should make an important distinction here, and that is that this is not a mean version […]
In some ways, we’re still trying to process the super-surprising news that Joe Bastianich is no longer going to be a part of “MasterChef” on Fox. This franchise has been an enormous hit in America, and we assumed that this was a tremendous platform for him in order to continue to promote his brand and […]
This news is going to be particularly hard to swallow. Today, it was announced that restaurateur Joe Bastianich, who has presided as a judge over every season of “MasterChef” and “MasterChef Junior” so far in America, will be exiting after the upcoming third season of the “Junior” competition. This is the first change that the […]
