TV Gal Chooses the French Over FOX

By Amy Amatangelo

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Sigh. Oh, mon dieu.

Okay, listen up mon petit chou FOX, it is -- how do you say? -- on. You want a fight. Bring. It. On. You think I can't give your entire network the silent treatment? Well now it's like you double-dared me.

In today's column I was going to rave about Michael Vartan's guest appearance as a French chef on "Kitchen Confidential." It is hilarious. Vartan sports a fetching French accent and Bradley Cooper has a great line about "It's like we worked together before." Add in the moment where you can almost catch Vartan about to crack up and it's simply a perfect episode.

But will you get to see it this Monday? In any language the answer is "no." FOX abruptly pulled both "Arrested Development" and "Kitchen Confidential" from the schedule in favor of airing repeats of "Prison Break" in that time slot. Allegedly, both series will return on Dec. 5 but who can be optimistic at this point? Both show's episode orders have been cut to 13 for the season which does not bode well -- at all.
