Do you remember this guy?  I used to hate this guy when I was a kid. He'd always be so damning on his show. The way he talked, it seemed like he was scolding me from across the airwaves. And I didn't even know what frugal meant! I thought it mean mean!STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO, THE FRUGAL GOURMET!! |

That guy got arrested for sex abuse. No joke:
WASHINGTON
TACOMA — Six more men have filed lawsuits against TV's "Frugal Gourmet" for sexual abuse, bringing the total to ten plaintiffs so far. Rev. Jeff Smith, 58, ordained as a Methodist minister, served as a campus chaplain at the University of Puget Sound in the late 1960s. He gave up preaching for cooking in 1973 when he started a restaurant and catering business called the "Chaplain's Pantry." Located near a high school, he hired students to help him in the kitchen as part of the work study program.
Eight of the plaintiffs are men who say Smith abused them as boys, with accusations ranging from fondling to rape. The other two plaintiffs are the parents of an alleged victim.
The earliest incident is said to have happened in 1974 and the most recent in 1992. The statute of limitations for criminal prosecution has passed. The civil suits are scheduled for trial next January.
Smith has kept quiet about the cases, but they have already put his burgeoning career in jeopardy. His newest cable TV cooking show has been suspended and talks with PBS about new episodes for his series are also on hold. His book publisher won't talk about him.
Smith, who has two adult sons, is married but has not lived with his wife Patricia for more than 20 years. She is named in the suits as having known of her husband's activities and has retained her own lawyer. (6/17)\
How come all our threads come back to molesting little boys?

He was a demanding jackass. He was so matter of fact in the way he spoke, wasn't he?<---I think I need help with sentence structure here. What about Julia Child? She scared the crap out of me from swinging her flabby arms around, to drooling and speaking that warbled, high- pitched nonsense. She reminded me of that woman from Throw Mama From the Train.   |

you fool!!! You always take the words right out of my mouth, oh it must have been while you were kissing me (Meatloaf reference?). I thought the same thing about that horrible woman.
'OWEN!!' Then, the scissors in her ear...that was a beautiful scene. Anytime I was pissed at someone, I would go to a place far in my mind and stab them in the ear with silver shiny scissors as their head was tilted over a sink.

I used to watch the Frugal Gourmet with my grandmother. She lived in one of those places that didn't have one big TV, but instead had about five 9" TVs all around the house. I got to watch the Frugal Gourmet in surround sound.

Julia Child's husband's nursing home was right behind the pool that my sister lifeguarded at and my parents belonged to. so once in a while, she would roll him aroudn the pool. it was rather spooky, because she was just as much of a corpse as him. she wouldnt say anything, just wheel him around and leave while everyone went silent and whispered "thats Julia Child!"

I heard Julia Child was in the CIA at one point in time... but not for America... someone else... or something. Maybe I was just imagining that...

I got to watch the Frugal Gourmet in surround sound. DUDE! I think we are fuckin related. my grandmother lived in this tiny tiny 10x10 foot cell they call elderly housing, but she had like 4 tvs. so that she could watch two in bed and two in the living room. it sounded like a club from far away what with all the tv surround sound. why do the elderly insist on having so many fucking tvs? |
