John G TVholic was spot on with his analysis of Alton Brown and the show. It is unfortunate to not have a more extensive credits list so that the myriad characters can be better identified.http://www.altonbrown.com/pages/behindsc.html does provide some more information on the crew, but not much. There is also an interesting resource, the Good Eats Fan Page at http://goodeatsfanpage.com/.I especially like the extra information added by Deb Duchon - food anthropologist and Shirley Corriher - Food Science Consultant.Apparently, some of the openness from his website has been taken advantage of and it is no longer possible to interact with him there, alas.

baby_kitty_bubbles Emphasis on the good.^_^ I love Alton Brown. I remember being confused the first time I saw it, but once I saw another show, I got it pretty well. My favorite episode is when Alton had the voodoo doll of W, ha! Thats a great way to use skewers. Its excellently written, the camera angles are amazing, and its just plain funny. I like the food network and this has to be my current favorite show, They need to hurry and make more episodes.Oh yeah, the scrap iron chef episode rocked!!!!!!!!!!! HAhah...the iron chef won..hahaha...I'm sorry, I guess you have to watch Iron Chef to get that joke.Its awesome. Alton Brown forever.

shawn_allen I started watching the show with the Thanksgiving show "Romancing the Bird" and it just blew me away. SPOILER When he sat his sister Marsha (Marsha Brown BRADY, Marsha Brady, get it?) down in front of the fireplace and did the Matrix take-off, I was hooked!I am keeping some of the shows, just those I really like and/or plan to cook something from, but all of them should be seen. Also, I recommend checking out AB's website, altonbrown.com, to see what he does off camera too.

Registered_User Alton Brown proves you don't need a good attitude for good grub; I love the cynical undercurrent. He shows us how to cook simply rather than demonstrating eight hundred varying ways of boiling an egg. He keeps it low key and educational as he explores the origins of a food. This show gets on most people's nerves, which is probably why I can stand it. Two of the best episodes focus on steak and another on pasta. As far as I'm concerned, these are the most difficult foods to prepare because of the myths behind them. I was amazed to learn all the names to the different kinds of pasta noodles, but rather than confusing me, I felt more educated.
