The Bottom Line: "Informative"
Quite possibly the best talk show ever. ...Continue »
Dinner for Five was one of the greatest talk shows of all times. Jon Favreau and crew hit a home run with this one. The idea of five peers sitting around talking telling stories, busting balls and goofing off, was nothing short of briliant. The show is one part algonquin round table and one part My Dinner with Andre. I especially love it when they have an older actor, Peter Falk and Rod Stiger come to mind. Seeing the younger generation "sitting at the feet" of the old masters and absorbing their knowledge and wisdom is touching and inspirering.

Jon has the rights to the show so maybe he can bring it back at a later date. I hope all the seasons are released on DVD.
