In Day 2 of theTVaddict.com’s Summer Survival Guide, we take a look at affordable, brilliant-but-cancelled TV on DVD that are a must own for TV Addicts everywhere.
KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL
Before THE HANGOVER propels small screen star Bradley Cooper into the big screen leading man that he so richly deserves to be, why not be the quasi-obnoxious guy/gal who can say, “I remember him when!” by checking out his 13 episode stint as brilliant bad boy chef Jack Bourdain, in the short-lived FOX series that took us behind-the-scenes of the zany and unpredictable world of New York Eateries. A behind the scenes that we should also mention features an unforgettable supporting cast including Nicholas Brendon, John Francis Daley, Jaimie King, Bonnie Somerville, Owain Yeoman, John Cho, Frank Langella, Sam Pancake and guest appearances by John Larroquette and Michael Vartan. (Only $13.99 on Amazon)

Thanks to a star-making turn by Bradley Cooper and an all-star supporting cast including Nicholas Brendon, Owain Yeoman, John Cho, John Francis Daley, Frank Langella, Jaime King and Bonnie Summerville, it should come as no surprise that KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL ranks among one of this TV Addict’s all-time favorite brilliant-but-cancelled series.
What does come as a surprise is what this TV Addict just discovered thanks to some lazy Friday afternoon procrastination. At a mere $9.99, Amazon.com is practically giving away the series on DVD! Now you too can discover what millions of viewers missed out on when FOX did what they do best by yanking the hilarious albeit ratings anemic series after a mere four episodes. Simply click here to get all 13 episodes and thank me anytime for knocking a few items of your Christmas list! 
With the exception of the AMERICAN IDOL results show [which let's face it, can be watched in about fifteen minutes courtesy of my trusty PVR], there’s slim pickings on TV tonight. Which means it’s time for another installment of May We Suggest: TV on DVD. [How many hours until HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER returns?]
Tonight’s theme is “Brilliant But Cancelled” and features an eclectic mix shows we wish were still on the air.
Our evening kicks off at 8PM with FOX’s ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT and KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL, followed by our behind-the-scenes Hollywood hour at 9PM courtesy of Jay Mohr’s ACTION and Darren Star’s GROSSE POINTE. 10PM brings us a double helping of Aaron Sorkin. As we press play on the under-appreciated gem that was SPORTS NIGHT, finishing off the hour with a condensed version of STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP. All the Sorkin greatness minus the parts where he gets too preachy and condescending.
