Zucker may be trying to overcome having given Emeril Lagasse a sitcom, but Louis-Dreyfus has to deal with the expectations that come from having been in the most successful show of the past decade. The expectations have led to articles about the Seinfeld Curse--which has been blamed for the quick demise of both The Michael Richards Show in the fall 2000 season and this season's Jason Alexander bomb, Bob Patterson. But 0 for 2 in the world of sitcoms is actually about right. The vast majority of shows don't make it past one season. Louis-Dreyfus...

Now Bourdain is worried about how he's going to keep his edge while appearing on the Emeril channel. "Cooking is quantifiable. At the end of the day, you sleep well," he says. "I just like to hang out in the kitchen and suck up the ambience...
...tragically unmarketed. The ad crowd gathered here seems a bit smug this year. The networks raked in a record $8 billion in last year's flush times; now it's a buyer's market.
