Dinner for Five (IFC) -- Host: Jon Favreau -- Series Thread
Has anyone seen this new series yet? It's hosted by Jon Favreau and airs on IFC and repeats are on Bravo.
Basically Jon Favreau has 4 guests and they all eat out at a restaurant together. The camera films their dinner conversation.
Some of the guests I've seen already were: Vince Vaughn, Cheri Oteri, Illeana Douglas, Christian Slater, Peter Falk, Jeff Goldblum, Fred Williard, and Garry Shandling.
It's been a pretty cool show so far. I liked the second one the best, with Illeana Douglas. It's kind of cool hearing actors talk about their "pet peeves" like being cut out of a film. They talked about how it will still appear on your credits at IMDB and people will say "you were great in that." Or people at parties will say "I know you.. you were great in that film--what was it called?" And they have to sit and list their credits.
Interesting show.

When does it air on Bravo? I checked TVGuide and the Bravo website and didn't see it listed on their schedule. I've been dying to see it, but I only have Bravo, not IFC. Thanks.

Dinner for Five (Love, Silverman, Rapaport, Burrows)
My TiVo grabs these all the freakin' time, and I have no clue what their schedule for new episodes/repeats is as it's different every time (sometimes I'll get the same episode 12 times in a row, sometimes 3 unique ones back-to-back).
Anyway ... tonight I saw this episode for the first time, and they really hit a lot of interesting topics. Usually, there's a moment or two of something really stand-out, and the rest is just entertainingly watching actors ******** about random stuff. But this episode seemed even better than usual. It's hard to tell which episodes air when, but if you can catch this one, I recommend it.

Thanks for the info. Sarah's in at least two episodes that I've seen. In one, she doesn't come across too well. I cannot remember offhand who her dinner companions were, but they didn't "get" her. In this one, however, she has a couple of zingers that are hilarious, and the guests "get" it.

I really enjoyed this one as well. Silverman's very, very entertaining, but doesn't say much. Rapaport was really vocal and kind of ran the discussion at times, but I found his dialogue with Faison Love to be really interesting. I'm a big fan of the show and can't wait for new episodes to start popping up.
Actually, they have an extremely active forum on the Web that Jon Favreau posts to constantly. A lot of folks post who basically want to get his attention rather than really discuss the show and related topics and a lot of pissiness at times, but I guess that's not unusual for Internet forums, now is it?

I read somewhere there won't be any new episodes until September. My ReplayTV keeps taping these and they are all repeats.
I remember that episode was good. That Faison Love guy was hilarious.

Dinner for Five (Thanksgiving Marathon)
Looks like they will be running these shows all day on IFC, that's right all 9 episodes repeating ad infinitum, or at least I can only see 9 listed on the www.dinnerforfive.com
I have only seen one of them, the one with Yoakim, Goldberg, Beals and Seth Green, and it was good.
Although what I really want to see is the michael rappaport one I love that guy, he is so awesome.

Ugh ... no new eps until Tax Day. Ad infinitum is right ... I can't count how many times I've seen those same 9 episodes.
One I thought was particularly entertaining was with David Cross, Denis Leary, Famke Janssen, and Martha Plimpton.

My fave episode was with Sarah Silverman, Faizon Love, Michael Rappaport, and Saffron Burrows.
We always quote that one, when Faizon Love was making fun of black movie sets and Ice Cube going "Let's work on soundtrack."
When are they airing the Peter Bogdanovich episode? I saw a picture of it in EW awhile ago.

I loved in that episode how you could tell Daryl Hannah was pretty annoyed with all of his stripper-talk.
I don' think he came off as that intelligent in the episode.
But I was impressed with him in Bowling for Columbine.

Looks like there were actually 10 episodes and I was hoping there was one I haven't seen yet, but I'll have to wait for the next season.
I thought Manson came off as the best of that bunch, mainly because he starts talking about Bunuel etc.
But, yeah, Hannah didn't enjoy herself, complaining that they didn't really talk about independant film...

And more about 'Mrs. Parker' too.
I notice quite a few of the shows have a guest who is totally irreverant. What if they did a show with: Adam Goldberg, David Cross, Marilyn Manson and Faizon Love? No telling where the conversation is going to go.
