I'm so glad I found this, it was like reading a time capsule :) and the dubbing still hold up in 2023, i actually found this post because i was trying to look up how the dubbing was done, it's so natural, nothing of it's quality has been done before

or since.

I haven't watched Iron Chef in quite a while but it was a groundbreaking show that shocked America and changed the direction of how cooking shows were presented. The idea of ditching the subtitles in favoring of sports style color commentary made a

lot of sense and offered a lot of freedom in terms of scripting. Iron Chef changed everything and these days, we can barely remember how things were in the past.

What nonsense. I liked Iron Chef, but I don't see the slightest
influence of it in current cooking shows.

It was a fun program, but it didn't really change much. I remember a
lot of subservient Japanese chefs who, when "interviewed", never
uttered more than "I'll do my best". And Japanese women in the jury
who all looked the same and had the same little mannerisms and the
same little giggles with a hand in front of their mouth.

It's a respect thing in their culture. This show was huge for the cooking world and introduced Japanese and Chinese cooking to huge amounts of people that otherwise may not have ever experienced it. It's good to learn about other cultures and in their

culture you show respect and self discipline. And I gotta say the women giggling covering their face thing while on television is kinda all over the world regardless of culture especially before the 2000s, Japanese women are just known worldwide as
polite and restrained and thoughtful. In their culture, you think about what you want to say and when you say something it has value and adds to the conversation, I know the people of Finland and many other Nordic countries are like that as well. Don't
speak much but when they do talk it's important.

lol, ok

Time is sometimes irrespective of good shows (especially ones in color).

The ones in black and white are silent, so that's really boring.

The Food Network in the U.S. is nearly wall-to-wall competition shows
these days. It's challenging to find a show that demonstrates how to cook.

Ten years ago we used to watch at least one show a night. Have not
watched it at all in more than five years.

The only competition show worth watching is the British Bake-off.
No high drama and there's a sense of co-operation among the contestants.

I hate those cooking competition shows. They are little more than
"reality" shows. That means that they go out of their way to find
flamboyant characters and they are a little hard to bear.

Ah, I never see competition shows here. It's all individuals showing
how they cook, whether international food or specific ethnicities.

They're also always one big setup, at least here. Ratings is all that
matters.

Wait, there's Master Chef. It's not like Iron Chef and it's also
totally fake. We haven't watched it for ten years.

I like "Chopped", for the judges. I also like "Chopped After Hours",
in which the judges cook, but don't formally compete. A pity it has so
few episodes.

I watched a couple of episodes of British Bake-off, but I'm not that
interested in baking so it didn't grab me.

I saw "Chopped" but mine was about modifying motorcycles.
