Food Network host and bowtie enthusiast Alton Brown recently spoke with online food magazine Eater and addressed the possible return of his popular series Good Eats.
Over the course of 14 seasons, Brown’s series took a scientific approach to cooking that quickly garnered a large fanbase. Throughout its run, the series held consistently high viewership and critical acclaim, earning a Peabody Award in 2006. In 2011, Brown decided to retire the show after a total of 244 episodes and eight specials.
Now, he says he may be considering a reboot … with a key difference:
Eater: We saw your tweet announcing that you’d packed up all of the episodes of Good Eats and were sending them off to storage. We have to ask: Would you ever consider bringing Good Eats back?
Brown: Good Eats… no. No. Something like Good Eats only for digital delivery? Definitely maybe. Definitely… Maybe.”
So … “maybe” not great news but still good news for Good Eats.
What do you think? Were you a fan of Good Eats and Alton Brown? Would you like to see the show return?
I DVR’ed all the reruns! Bring it back!!!!!!!!
Love it. I still watch all the reruns. Bring it back!
Good Eats was made for Alton Brown. The science behind why food reacts the way it does and how to overcome mistakes was portrayed in a fun, crazy, 3D kind of way. It ROCKED! I’ve been dying to have my boys and husband watch the show and have been so disappointed to not find it anywhere! Good Eats is the one show that appealed to both genres almost effortlessly. Bring it back!!!
Absolutely. He is so smart. He really helped me back when I was learning to do many things I had never tried to do.
I want good eats to come back it would be awesome if it want on HBO or another program whare I can t watch it
Not only what I like to see Good Eats return, I would even pay to subscribe. Online would be the perfect venue for that.
I like Alton Brown as well, BUT…. I do like some of the competition shows, especially the Halloween ones & the cake ones but not the cupcake one. And I’d LOVE to see another Gingerbread House competition!
Yes! Without question, yes!
I’d definitely like to see Good Eats brought back. I can’t stand the silly competitions that food network is specializing in now. Bring back Good Eats, Emeril, Mario.
