Then you'd have loved the original Iron Chef w/ English
subtitles. Half the fun was actually hearing the near
hysterical hosts and front-line commentators describe the
action. The current dull, subdued, English overdubs totally
kill the sense of frenzy and excitment of the real show.

(Blush) Thanks! Actually, I have for many years now. Just
had a bit a break with an occasional lurk:)

But my heart never left.

So who is Da MC? If you say Shatner or Nimoy, I'll puke.

Very much agree.

That is why I have about 4 years' worth of tapes from the
Fuji TV version, in S.F.with Japanese commercials and all.

It is a total audio visual extravaganza. I'm scared
foodless of the American version.

The all-American recreation was even worse ...a total
snooze, unworthy of resurection.

I am relatively new here. I think I started lurking in
November 2002, and posted a month or two later. I had a bad
experience with Usenet a while back and it took a while to
want to come back.

Whenever you saw what looked like cream and sugar being
prepaired was one clue, the clincher was the ice cream
machine going into action at the 30 minute mark.

They're making ice cream WITH *THAT*?
