    The British version is SO much better…more kitchen, less nightmare.

    When did Fox become the food network?

    I thought the numbers for this season didn’t really support another season of Hell’s Kitchen. Aren’t they the lowest they’ve ever been?

    It still averaged over a 4.0 in the demo, which makes it renewal-worthy.

    Chuck–
    Last Thursday’s episode got 7.3 million viewers and a 3.1/8 in the 18-49 demo. Those numbers give Hell’s Kitchen a 0.67 on the renew/cancel index (as of 3/17/09). But if Hell’s Kitchen is sufficiently cheap to produce, it might make sense to air it — particularly as off-season programming.

    Kitchen Nightmares actually scores higher (a 0.8) on the renew/cancel index.

    While the Renew/Cancel Index provided very good indication of the prospects for scripted shows, for unscripted shows it was all over the map. Still, as Outlander notes, neither of those Ramsay series seemed to be in danger of cancelation.

    I love both shows – for some reason FOX brought Hells Kitchen back earlier – and I watch CSI at that time…just the one show FOX can’t compete with…

    I really enjoy Kitchen Nightmares (though the UK version is better) but couldn’t really stand Hell’s Kitchen the one time I watched it. I prefer “The F Word”.

    My question is, when does Ramsay have time to run his restaurants to keep up those Michelin stars and his world-renouned rating? Seriously, the dude has like 3 shows on BBC and 2 shows on Fox.

    Reruns of the show also air on BBC-America…UNEDITED. Mostly, only the F word is bleeped. I like them all. The shows, not the words…lol.

    R.G. – They do rerun HK Saturday nights on Fox Reality, if that helps.
