It was not Emerils fault that the show bombed.
The Thomasons would not let Emeril "play" Emeril as himself.
There were no "bams", no "kick it up a notches".
They forced him to play a toned down version of himself.
Then cast a bunch of actors around him to liven the show up.
Sure Emeril is no Sir Laurence Oliver, but neither is Tom Hanks.
Emeril was handicapped by not being allowed to be himself.
Emeril can still buy and sell any of you out there who have knocked his effort.
I went to one of the tapings of the show in California and in my opinion did as good of a job as was possible given the circumstances.
At least HE tried, can any of you dopes say say the same!
