You know, if Darren Star weren't openly gay I'd wonder if Bonnie Somerville was sleeping with him. Because I can't understand why such an unremarkable actress keeps getting so much work or why Star is so enamored with her. She was by far the weakest actress on Grosse Pointe and yet he went on to cast her on this AND on the upcoming Cashmere Mafia. Worse, I remember hearing Charisma Carpenter had auditioned for the Kitchen Confidential role, but for some reason the network didn't want her (maybe having her and Nick Brendon on the same show would have been too much?) I can only imagine how much better the show would have been with her playing Mimi.

I remember being interested in KC and set it to Tivo when it was on but it just seemed to be a bit too much of a mess. It also played the same card that the upcoming "Private Practice" will: case a bunch of people you know from former shows as an ensemble. I don't think the show was as interesting or as clever as it thought it was, but I was giving it the benefit of the doubt, as one really needs to get 3 or 4 episodes into a show before judging whether they have hit their stride.

I really enjoyed the full run of KC, shame it didn't catch on. I caught the unaired eps on a download (think they aired in Australia or UK) and loved the later ones, especially whenever John Cho was in the mix. And Michael Vartan's guest spot cried out for a return. There's a moment with him and Cooper in the alley where they leave in a bit where Bradley almost looses it.

Would it have worked on another network like NBC?

Can't wait to crack into the DVD at home this summer. It's on my "Brilliant but Cancelled" shelf, next to the Apatow boxsets.

I've watched all 13 episodes about 3 times now over the past year and a half (there were torrents up for the whole season after it aired in AUS). I still find myself laughing and I find something new every re-watch. Even now I still can't find much wrong with it. I liked all the actors, even Somerville (What's wrong with Mona?) and I completely bought Cooper even though mine, and probably everyone's, recent exposure to him was the uber-douche in Wedding Crashers - maybe other viewers still had the Sac aftertaste and couldn't get past it.

I rate this show evenly with Undeclared as an unacceptable cancellation - Fox is so easy to hate some times.

I still miss Undeclared too.

It's part of what I call "the great Fox comedy purge of '02." In that one year they managed to cancel: Undeclared, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Titus, Greg the Bunny, The Tick, Grounded for Life, Family Guy, Futurama, and That '80s Show.

And other than that last one (which was an easy opportunity that they totally botched) they were all actually funny.

I third the comments about Day Break. I mean, if you didn't like what was on the air the remaining episodes won't change your mind, but if you were already a fan, the remaining episodes are satisfying. Unlike, say, Vanished, which I liked at the beginning but stayed with to my own detriment.

Anonymous 9:20, I too was surprised when Bonnie Somerville was cast in Kitchen Confidential after the nothingness she exuded on NYPD Blue, but she won me over in the ep where she was seduced by the enemy chef played by Michael Vartan. She came up with some genuinely funny and original takes.

Add me to the Day Break followers list, too. I enjoyed it very much, though I wouldn't have wanted to be in charge of the index cards in the writers' room.

But the doomed show I liked best this season was the Black Donnellys, which I'm happy to see is coming out on DVD soon. I'd sure like to know what Haggis's five-year plan was.

I agree that Fox really messed up in '02. I just finished Netflixing "The Tick" last night and that show deserved much, much better. The last 3 shows were remarkably funny and clever. The cast was tight and the writing excellent.

And any show that takes a rock-solid product, like "The Tick", and manages to actually improve it by changing a character, in this case adding the truly wonderful Batmanuel, deserves more than 9 episodes to prove itself. Alan, you should think about taking up "The Tick" for your next Netflix review.

It also played the same card that the upcoming "Private Practice" will: case a bunch of people you know from former shows as an ensemble.

As I pointed out in my review of them both way back when, Kitchen Confidential and How I Met Your Mother -- which were on in the same timeslot -- had almost identical supporting casts: a Buffy alum (Brendon/Hannigan), a Harold & Kumar alum (John Cho/NPH) and a Freaks & Geeks alum (Daley/Jason Segel). The Kitchen Confidential ensemble was, of course, bigger, so there aren't one-to-one matches for everybody, but it was still weird.

Harriet Price is the perfect student: smart, dutiful, over-achieving. Will Everhart is a troublemaker who's never met an injustice she didn't fight. When their swim coach's inappropriate behavior is swept under the rug, the unlikely duo reluctantly team up to expose his misdeeds, pulling provocative pranks and creating the instantly legendary Amelia Westlake -- an imaginary student who helps right the many wrongs of their privileged institution. But as tensions burn throughout their school -- who is Amelia Westlake? -- and between Harriet and Will, how long can they keep their secret? How far will they go to make a difference? And when will they realize they're falling for each other?

Award-winning author Erin Gough's Amelia Westlake Was Never Here is a funny, smart, and all-too-timely story of girls fighting back against power and privilege -- and finding love while they're at it.

But then, the worse unexpectedly strikes: When Jack starts writing a teen sex advice column for an online site, he begins to receive creepy and threatening love letters that attempt to force Jack to curb his sexuality and personality. Now it's up to Jack and his best friends to uncover the stalker--before their love becomes dangerous.

Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least win her first battle. As the daughter of an underground hip hop legend who died right before he hit big, Bri's got massive shoes to fill. But it's hard to get your come up when you're labeled a hoodlum at school, and your fridge at home is empty after your mom loses her job. So Bri pours her anger and frustration into her first song, which goes viral . . . for all the wrong reasons.

Bri soon finds herself at the center of a controversy, portrayed by the media as more menace than MC. But with an eviction notice staring her family down, Bri doesn't just want to make it--she has to. Even if it means becoming the very thing the public has made her out to be.

Insightful, unflinching, and full of heart, On the Come Up is an ode to hip hop from one of the most influential literary voices of a generation. It is the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you; and about how, especially for young black people, freedom of speech isn't always free.

"For all the struggle in this book, Thomas rarely misses a step as a writer. Thomas continues to hold up that mirror with grace and confidence. We are lucky to have her, and lucky to know a girl like Bri."--The New York Times Book Review

Hope someone can help! There is a movie in my Save List, specifically Glass Onion, which is a Netflix movie. I want to delete that movie from my list, and there is no option to do so. I do understand that Netflix doesn't work with the Save List, which is the problem - the movie must have been in the My Feed queue before it changed over to Save List, and now it's stuck there. Just as you can't add a Netflix movie to your save list, you also, apparently, cannot delete a Netflix movie from the list.

I want to be very clear, before a rep responds, that I absolutely already know how to add and delete movies from my Save List the standard ways, and I do it all the time. However, the option to remove this particular item is just not there. But there must be some kind of recourse or workaround so it doesn't just remain stuck there forever.

So, any words of advice from the community? Anyone else had this issue and resolved it? If a rep can help, that would be great! (I also can't figure out how to contact Roku directly anymore, as used to be available.)

This issue is annoying me so much that I'd happily clear my entire Save List and re-add everything, just to get this one movie to disappear, lol. If that's an option, I also haven't figured out how to do that - how to clear the Save List (hopefully without doing a factory reset, which I'm not sure would even solve the problem).
