More pictures from Kitchen Confidential and Bones....

Big thanks to

aaalex55 for pointing this out.

I'll just stick to the Buffyverse pictures. If you want more information and pictures, click on the images below to link:

KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL: Jack (Bradley Cooper, L) lays down the law to Seth (Nicholas Brendon, C) and Steven (Owain Yeoman, R) about how the kitchen should be run in KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL, the new half-hour comedy premiering on FOX. ™ ©2005 FOX BROADCASTING COMPANY. Cr: Michael Desmond/FOX.

BONES: When law enforcement calls upon Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel, L) and her team of scientists to assist with murder investigations, she often finds herself teamed up with Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz, R) a former Army Ranger whose mistrust of science and scientists leads them to clash both professionally and personally, making them the perfect choice to solve the toughest cases together in the new one-hour drama BONES, premiering on FOX. ™ ©2005 FOX BROADCASTING COMPANY.

For a full round-up of FOX pilots and additional pictures, (including Tim Minear's The Inside with Adam Baldwin), go here.

Truthfully, of the three, I think Kitchen Confidential and The Inside look better than Bones. DB's role sounds a little bit like Mulder/Scully in reverse. I mean, seriously. An FBI agent that doesn't trust science? Oooookay then. Having never read the mystery novels on which this series is based, can someone tell me if this character exists in the books and whether he actually works as a character?

See, I look at that picture of DB and go "Ahhh! He's in the SUN! Get a blanket! Ahhh!"

:-p

Tooootttaaalllyyyyyy!

Would a fire extinguisher work?

I mean, we could always cover him in foam, pull him out of the sun, and...

I'll just stop now.

**bouncebouncebounce**

Part of me says, yes, I think Kitchen Confidential has the ingredients for a successful comedy series.

The other part is just going squee! Nicky!

I am caught between squee! Nicky! and squee! Bradley!

I can't get excited about Bones. Just the description of DB's character, combined with the block-head in a black suit pictures, make me very very sad for my sexy spiky-haired vampire show.

It's hard to say about Bones -- I'd agree that so far it doesn't look very enticing. But perhaps it's being poorly pitched? Eh, one can hope that there are bits of gold in the mix.

Hey, but the boy's still in a cemetery! Hee hee hee! I bet he's thinking, "Shit. Tombstones forever."

BWAH!

Now typecast as the guy who goes and disturbs graves.

And here he was worried about being typecast as Angel.

In all seriousness though, I don't think the picture of DB is that good. I know he's a better looking dude than that. The photographer should be shot.

Hee! I didn't even notice that. Poor guy.

Neither did I...

So a chocolate-covered DB for

tesla321.

*ahem*

It's spring. Really. I'm not usually this frisky about pictures.

In all seriousness, there's a definite squee factor in Kitchen.

And literally, for the first time, I'm actually squeeing over the entire freakin' cast. That is some serious eye-candy for the ladies and gay/bi men in the audience. I feel bad for the women on the cast...or maybe I'm jealous.

Anyway, how much you wanna bet women are going to the be biggest audience for that show?

Delicious eye candy that is sure to make me put on a few pounds ;)

Anyway, how much you wanna bet women are going to the be biggest audience for that show?

The show is about hot men cooking. The audience will be us (females) and Tom from Queer Eye.

BWAH!

So true. So very true.

*pictures male cast covered in chocolate*

Illjustgobacktoworknow

Most definitely. I'm not exactly crazy about Fox as a network (all the stoopid reality shows), but I'll be there for this. Is it too soon to look for Jack/Seth fics? :-)

C'mon man, you just know there's going to be a raft of Seth/Xander stories out there.

Brings twinslash to a whole new level.

I've read a few of the books by Kathy Reichs that this series seems to be based on and the show actually sounds a bit dull comapred to the books. The Temperance Brennan character is a Canadian Forensic Anthropologist (as is the author in RL) who generally gets called in on cases (in Canada and the US) where the bodies are decayed or too severly traumatised for normal standard investigation. The books are full of lots of scientific detail and gorey bits:-) There is a male character (a French/Canadian cop I think) who she works with on quite a few cases but I don't remember him being anything like David's character. There may be a American FBI guy in there too somewhere, can't quite remember, but I'm pretty sure he's not like the DB character either - I may be wrong though. Heres a link to her books:
http://www.ffbooks.co.uk/n11/n56796.htm

On the matter of NB and Kitchen Con - squeeeeee!!! Doesn't he look great? He does, he really does:-) *siigh* I hope the show does well.

cloudie

Kathy Reichs has always been on my "eventually read" list, but she keeps getting pushed back.

Plus, the unread portion of my library at home is so insane that I just can't justify buying any new books right now. :-(

But thanks for the link. I'll check it out.

And...well, that whole cast is drool-worthy.

On the "cops who doesn't trust scientists" point, I don't think of it as a Scully in reverse thing, where it's science v. supernatural. I presume, based on what little I know of the series, that's the battle is more likely going to be science v. old-fashioned detective work. So, you've got one character who comes up with conclusions based on what she's discovered in her lab, and the other character is unwilling to trust the result until he can find a witness to back it up, or something like that. Sort of like the guest star cops we see once in a while in the CSI franchise whose sole purpose appears to be to doubt the initial forensic results, driving the team to work even harder to get enough corroborating forensic evidence to smack said guest star cop upside the head with their findings.

*sigh*

I was a-feared that would be the case. Since the "hero" of the show is Brenan, I wonder how many times Seely (as in Posturepedic?) will get smacked upside the head with her mad scientist skillz, yo!

I wonder how many times Seely (as in Posturepedic?)

LOL, I thought the same exact thing when I first read the show summary. What the hell kind of name is Seeley?

Firm and bouncy?

*down girl! down!*

One day, David Boreanaz will play a character with a normal name, and the world will come to an end.

Or his head will explode off his neck and reach orbit.

Either way.

Hee. "It's like Sputnik - spherical and a bit pointy at parts!"

Tim Minear is making another show for FOX?

Does he have a masochistic streak or something?

Actually, I think this one might stick, despite the glut of cop/FBI/forensic shows on the tube (which is why I'm given KC a better than average chance: comedy/no laughtrack/great reviews for the upfronts).

I have to say that it sounds a lot more intriguing than DB's Bones, and from what I understand, Tim is steering clear of the supernatural stuff, which I think is a smart move. SciFi/Fantasy on television is going through a downside, and yes, I'm saying this despite Battlestar Galactica, which, I might add, is constructed less as a SciFi show and more like West Wing in space (by the current production team's admission).

Yeah, it's definitely a more conventional show, so maybe it'll last longer. It's possible. I just can't help but think that he should have pitched it to another network. Then again, maybe FOX is the only one that bit.

As for SciFi/Fantasy TV, there certainly doesn't seem to be a lot of it these days. Although "Lost" is a pretty big hit, from what I hear.

Interestingly, the show was originally gonna be just "Girl is FBI faking her way through High School". Fox said 'Well, it's an interesting premise, but it's a little narrow. Let's bring in somebody.'

So they brought in Tim Minear and he ripped the show apart from the bottom up (only cast kept is the main girl) and basically reworked the entire premise, so that the 'FBI faking her way through High School' is now, like, an episode or two instead of the entire premise of the show.

So that sounds better.

Oh, wait! Was this the one that sounded like teh 21-Jump Street rip-off?

Hunh. Glad they trashed it. This series is supposedly starting June 8.

Yes, very much so.

If you wanna read more (a lot more) about the series, check out this AICN article (http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=20210). But beware... here be Spoilers! Well, a couple at least. And it's nothing huge, and nothing you wouldn't find out from watching the first couple shows... like, it doesn't say "The first episode... three main characters die!!!" Or whatever.

Oh, and the series as Tim Minear, Jane Espenson and David Fury. So. That doesn't entirely suck.

Anyway, I read Herc's review, and it's got me kinda psyched.

Tim Minear, David Boreanz, Nicholas Brendon, Adam Baldwin, Elizabeth Rohm... it's Mutant Enemy old home season on Fox.

And if Tru Calling hadn't been cancelled...

chef pants!!!<\small>

The funny thing is, these are people who were paid by FOX via ME, but only Adam Baldwin and Tim Minear actually had anything on the air on FOX (Firefly and Wonderfalls respectively).

*note me joining you on the squeeing about chef pants!*

Oh, and thanks for the link to Brown Betty today. I don't normally read Comics Fanfic, but I just might read her stuff on a regular basis. *grins*

Yay, another chef pants addict!

It's the pictures man. The pictures. I'm so totally toasted on that.

Five hot guys. Wearing chef pants. And cooking.

Plot will be optional if this hits the air.

NB looks so good, too. I hope he's doing well.

As a former wearer of chef pants, I feel I should inform you that they tend to be kind of nasty. It probably depends on the kind of restaurant you work in, I'll admit. I wore mine working in my mother's family's seafood restaurant chain (http://www.newicks.com/, if you're curious) when I was 14. Boy, let me tell you, the combination of flour, water, clam fry (the other powdered ingredient that makes up the batter for fried seafood), seafood slime, vinegar and mayonnaise (from making cole slaw) do not make for yummy anything, never mind yummy chef pants.

Working in a high-class NYC restaurant, I'll bet they don't get as much stuff on their pants. But, remember, there's a reason why they don't just wear street clothes back there: it can get messy.

(And how come I can't seem to do the usual "a href" link in a comment? Do they only work in original posts, and I just somehow never learned that?)

I never had proplems with the "a href=" in comments.

Soooooo, chef pants, hunh? *waggles eyebrows*

Ahem. Sorry. As someone who waitressed, I know you're right. Even on the other side with the customers you can get pretty disgusting.

Hunh. Newick's Seafood. I think I've been to the one in S. Portland something like a twenty years ago with my parents (Well, the building looks familiar, so I could be wrong) when we were on our way to the Nova Scotia ferry. I don't remember much about the experience. Sorry. :-)

Besides, you know us Massachusetts people. We're all about the Kelly's down here.

Well, I was 14 at the time I was in chef pants, so I was hardly waggle-worthy. I got out of the family's restaurant once I was old enough to work elsewhere (I was getting too much flak for being the nephew of the owner). I stayed in seafood, and I went to work at The Lobster Shack in Cape Elizabeth (small place, ridiculous view, decent food). Because the place was small, we didn't have chef pants; we had to provide our own clothes, and they had to be white. So, I had a pair of white painter's pants and a white golf shirt that I washed every night after work (that's how I learned to do laundry, actually, as there was no way those clothes were going to be allowed to sit overnight in our house, stinking the place up).

As for the South Portland Newick's, you probably don't recognize the building if you went there 20 years ago, because it burned down back in the early 90's. What they rebuilt was similar, but not the same. The place isn't really meant to memorable, so I'm not surprised you don't remember it. They just serve decent seafood at a reasonable price to an incredibly large number of people.

Uh. I would just like to state (because of all the feminine squeeing going on here) that though I will be watching Kitchen Confidential, it will not be because of the attractiveness of any of the male actors. I am a fan of both Nicky and Bradley, but as one might suspect, they hold no sexual interest for me.

Jamie King though... that girl's drool-worthy =)

*ahem*

Please excuse the sound of feminine squeeing.

Really, I'm much too old for this sort of fangurling.

I'm sure that I will be very surly should KC or Bones make it to the air and the raft of Seeley/Angel and Seth/Xander slash starts drowning all of us.

Sweet Zombie Jesus on a Pogo Stick, I hadn't even considered that. Oh God. I need to run away from civilization now.

But remember, zombies make everything better. And if zombies make everything better, Zombie Jesus would probably be able to make even Seth/Xander slash tolerable. Put him on a pogo stick, and he might even be able to help us handle Seeley/Angel slash...

You know... if somebody did do a Seth/Xander slash fic, but included Zombie Jesus... wow, I probably would have to read that. Jeez. That's a little scary.

I would so read a fic with Seth/Xander and a Zombie Jesus on a pogo stick.

I may have to claw my eyes out afterwards, but I would read it.

I just realized that, if the rumors are true, Zombie Jesus is an impossibility, what with him rising from the dead already and all. No body to zombify! So, we can all breathe easier now, and be glad that no one will be able to put out a Seth/Xander story that we can't avoid due to Zombie Jesusness.

Eeee. One look at that KC picture with NB and I'm spirited away to BtVS land and thinking, "What's lurkng behind the steel door?" and "Let's all hope that's real beef he's holding."

I hope KC is a sucess, if not the chances of us ever seeing it here will be rare.

Heheheheheheheheheheh.
