Might as well purchase and consume a 6 pack of "New Coke".

Maybe I need some education since I'm new to Q... What is it that people don't like about this show? I have enjoyed watching them and have learned quite a bit. I can see that a lot of the stuff they do in these competitions are a bit outside the box from a standard competition, but that's what I find interesting about the show. Lots of neat ideas and different ways to look at things.

Season 1 was pretty darned good, and you got to see quite a bit of competition stuff. Season 2, more of a reality TV thing going on, and cooking turducken, etc. I mean really, c'mon, that's not barbecue...

Some of the largest 'beefs' were...
1. The lack of blind judging
2. Needing better judge credentials (except for Myron).
3. Obscure foods ala Chopped
4. Good Smokin' Luck!
However do realize its for the general public's interest and the there are unseen driving forces trying to shape a tv series.

I really enjoyed season one and have a special place for it in my heart since it's really what got me kooked on this awesome obsession! But I have to agree with everybody that dislikes season two. Anybody know if there is a third season coming out? Hopefully it's just like season one if so.

By the way, it is impossible to find the season one DVD set or even more than 2 minute clips on YouTube. I'd pay good money for that if it was available.
Thank you Glenn, I hope you do give it a try. They are a lot easier to do than they look, and the more of them you do the easier it gets. :-D

Watching the competition ones, where they are actually in different cities/towns, makes one believe that they have a chance entering and winning a competition. I went to one today (spectator, haven't competed yet, but want to) and I tried a competition team's brisket after talking with him a bit. I said thanks and walked away. As soon as I could find a napkin, I discarded it...it was that bad. Not sure if they have separate briskets to give away to people that come up to their tents, but it was really bad.

I have to agree. I have no idea what they were thinking with season 2. I do not understand how you can have a great season one and a season 2 joke. Drop the the annoying host and ridiculous challenges. Get seasoned real pitmaster judges, not someone who cant make his mind if he needs more sauce or less. Myron was the true judge and the others must have paid to be on the show. Season 3 must be better or I see a cancelation in the near future. Maybe have Myron Mixon and Chris Lilly go head to head.

You can also buy each episode for season 1 on Amazon tv that downloads to your computer. I think they are I think $1.99 each. There are roughly 10 of them.
