For all the hype that's been put into them, and even though neither show is my kind of thing, I gave them both a try last night just to at least say I saw them once.
Bible: If you can get past the subject material, which is the hardest sell about the show for many, the actual game format is pretty solid. I'll admit I was amused by the "Faithbook" pages. And Foxworthy seems to be the best choice for this show given he's the one who best fits the whole Deep South Bible Belt angle (for lack of a better description).
Chefs: I felt like it was Iron Chef with trash talking. Not the worst thing, but it doesn't have to be there. The biggest thing that works here is that I can look at a lot of the things they make on IC Japan or IC America and not really see a lot of things that I would have the skill or salivating desire to cook at home. Chefs counters that because the dishes are home-cooked to begin with, and if you want to fancy it up a notch, you have the comparison to look to over on the experts' side. For that alone, I'd like to actually see this show last at a few seasons.
