Given that all their modern shows have about the same idea:
Politicking, Gossip, Backstabbing and Drunken Whining
Top Chef was sort of an exception on their network, which is sad. (Though it isn't exceptionally grounded in what an executive chef does. Where's the gripping examination of the price-list to determine what to buy from the greengrocer? Where's checking the walk in with the Sous to see what needs to go on special today?)
I can picture the show and imagine how bad it is. Their show is "Startups" in the same way that The Real Housewives is about a housewife. It's meant to be a show for people who love nerds ala the big bang theory.
