I recently found Godon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares series on BBC America..

It's fascinating, isn't it? I also caught a show where he revisited a few restaurants. One had been replaced and I wasn't a bit surprised that it had failed. The other two were thriving. I do like the show but the beeps are SO annoying! Most British I've seen on TV use the term "bloody" which is apparently considered very bad and equal to our "damn" and I don't mind that so much but Mr. Ramsay certainly has a foul mouth. He needs to be around people who don't use it! I used to cuss like a sailor because my husband did but after my divorce I got out around people who did not curse and I rarely do it now. And when I do, I feel horrible about it. Maybe that would work for him--I can't imagine that people would enjoy that kind of language but then, it's a much different world than I grew up in.

http://www.hulu.com/kitchen-nightmares You can watch this series at your convenience. I haven't watched any of them there yet so I don't know if the beeps are in them. I have cursed so bad in my lifetime that I could make a sailor blush; but, since moving back home, I have found that I can control it if I try. I still curse around my friends who curse, but have the ability to cut it off when around anyone who is offended. So, Gordon could do better IF HE TRIED!!! Maybe ALL his shows should be on HBO, Showtime, etc so he doesn't get beeped so often. Then again you would have to get used to hearing the "F"-bomb ALL the time. I've heard he's not like that in his real life. Sadly his career was going nowhere until he added it to his attitude.

I hadn't noticed the error in your title & had read it correctly as I'm known to do often. I found it funny that when I received my email notification for your comment, it was cut off at the perfect spot & read..."New Comment - I recently found God". Maybe there's more to Gordon than you & I see!!!

Now that I've watched quite a few episodes, I can see how he can get aggravated! Some of those people are unbelievable! I don't see why anyone would not take advice from a successful restaurateur, a few of them just argue and it's enough to drive anyone nuts. I do like how Ramsey is when he is with his children, he really cleans up his mouth and attitude then!

It gets really funny when he gets a really stubborn person who starts going "What does Ramsey know about it?" As if he's an actor or presenter and not a real chef and restauranteur!

I like it now that on our network they are bleeping out his swear words. It is a good show in that he is quite strict as to the standards the restaurant owners should have, and also in Hell's Kitchen, he is strict as to the standards the contestants have to have in food preparation, but like you, I do not like this foul language. By the way, I also do not like the way some of the contestants act and when especially they berate the other contestants. I did find that the winner on one of the shows was one of those who did not say bad things about the other contestants. I also hate when people swear on shows and more if they do it because they cannot find a better word to express their anger. Swearing when one hits his finger with a hammer is one thing, it is less excusable when using it in regular conversation. But I guess you cannot expect that much nowadays when gutter language is so popular among certain types

Some of those restaurants are truly disgusting!! It has just reinforced my dedication to making my own meals!! Ramsey has children?! Hey, I'll bet he's a good dad. I've found that the more blustery the man, the softer he is with children. They are that way because they are insecure. Of course, you have your brutes that are mean to everyone but Ramsey doesn't exhibit the telltale behavior of those jerks. At least, not obviously. I would not let my kids watch this show. They are 21 and 22 now but I would not watch it with them present. I always try to set a good example even now that they are grown. I have talked with my mom about this kind of stuff and her example to me throughout my teen and adult years really shaped my character. It's never good to stop showing your children how decent people behave.

Your right, it's not a very good trademark to have but, he has built his fame on it and people are always speaking about it, so it works. If he did not have that then I dont think his cooking abilities would be good enough to generate interest in his television programmes. Alot of people visit his restaurants just in the off chance he may be there and to hear him swearing at his team in the kitchen, so sad.

My mom always told us that people who resort to cursing don't have the intellect necessary to express themselves any other way. With Mr. Ramsay, I'm told that he wasn't popular until he started using that word. Strangely enough, on the segments where he is with his family he speaks very well and never curses!

I LOVE Jamie Oliver! I watched his show this past season and it was really good--showing all the misery that comes from overeating of bad food and giving hope to people. I also found "You Are What You Eat" this week about a British nutritionist and the wonders that happen when you cut out red meat, salt and fat from your diet. I've been doing that for about a year now and my aches are mostly gone except when I succumb to a craving for frozen dinners or eating takeout. I really like the BBC America network.

I saw "The F Word" on the guide today and watched it for the first time--very entertaining! As the credits rolled, I noticed that all profits from his F Word Restaurant are donated to the UK Tourette's Syndrome charity!!

I don't think I would like Hell's Kitchen. I've seen the promos and it's not something I would enjoy. I do enjoy his turning around restaurants that are not profitable and the crap he finds in sanitation category just reinforces my resolve to cook my own meals!!

That would get tiring! I have some butter in the fridge that's been there awhile because I'm watching my fat and calories. Last week I broke down and bought an "everything" bagel. The thought of that hot toasted bagel with a slab of cold butter on each bite was mouthwatering but the reality was completely different. My taste buds have changed so it certainly wasn't the delight I thought it would be and even a couple small slabs of that butter upset my stomach for the rest of the day! I like food like Pepin seems to make (I've never heard of him before) but only rarely. I usually take such recipes and re-do them to be healthy!

It really is an interesting show. As I told another respondent, I watch the first few minutes then the last few to see how the restaurant has made positive changes. Anything in between is just a curse-fest and pretty much useless as far as I'm concerned. I used to use that language because my husband did. After he divorced me for another and I got out of the house and among normal, civilized people it wasn't very hard to stop. I don't think I've said the F word for a year or so and the 4 years before that I said it only once or twice when I was around my sons--who learned it from him, too. It's a bad habit and has lost its shock value. Its just one more thing that makes it clear to me that I'm better off unmarried and unattached.

I've seen previews of Hell's Kitchen, too, and it's not something I think I would enjoy. I don't like to see someone bullying and cussing people. Ramsey is, in my opinion, attractive and charismatic and if he would just get civilized and learn some manners I would watch anything he made.

I really think that the show would be more effective if he would censor his language. He would come off as a person that had a good education and experience that did not need to resort to cursing to make his point. That said I do like him, although his show loses my commercial viewing.

It's easy to break the cursing habit if you're around people who don't curse. It wasn't till I moved back home to the Midwest that I really broke the habit--before that, in the Southwest, it had to be a conscious effort. People here say those words, of course, but it's still conservative enough that it's generally frowned upon in public. I like myself better now that I've broken that habit. Ramsey would be very attractive if he would clean up his language and I would watch the whole show, not just the first and last part.

Ramsey is entertaining but the continual beeps annoy me. I also would not like to hear the F word constantly although I used to use it as often and Gordon does. My mom used to tell me that people who curse don't have the intellectual prowess to express themselves properly and the older I get the more I agree with that. No denying Ramsey has what it takes for a successful show, but I really don't think he needs that kind of language. The fact that his career took off after he started that stuff doesn't say good things about our societies!
