    wow useless info thanks

  6. joyeful

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

  7. Jared

    When did Fox become the food network?

  8. Chuck Collins

    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?

  9. Holly

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

  10. Outlander

    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.

  11. 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…

  13. 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”.

  14. Outlander

    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.

  15. Johnny Shoe

    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.

    another season of Hell’s Kitchen this summer?!?! hell yeah!

    That and AI are the only reality shows i watch

  17. Justin

    Yes!

  18. Chris the TV sage

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