America's Test Kitchen 2001
I indulged myself, ordering season one (2001) on DVD of America's Test Kitchen, which I really don't remember. Maybe Channel 2 didn't carry it at first.
I do like this show, and have my DVR set to record every show, including on the tpt-Create channel. I buy a copy of Cook's Illustrated magazine from time to time, and subscribe to their web site.
I'm watching episode one, and I'm mildly surprised in a nice way. The show has a "seventies" style PBS feel to it, a very modest set, lighting not quite right, in a word, flat. Honcho Christopher Kimball had more, darker hair, but his assistants Julia and Bridgett look younger now than then.
It was their pilot year, just 13 episodes, but it's a great concept that truly targets the home cook. I suspect I'll be ordering season two pretty soon.
