I am sometimes fearful that they will show up at slang's, and damage his essential slanginess.

Although he could use a set of FiestaWare and some Calphalon.

It is subtitled. I can understand some of the English, but I cannot get the slangs.
I sometimes see the CBS Late Show. It is very funny, but I cannot understant all of them.

In fact, the American movies, songs, books 7 other culture tools are invading all over the world. Like France, they fight for American Culture for years, but they still cannot keep out.
I think there is no perfect show can present the American Culture. Now the HK TV often show the CSI, 24, Cold Case and other similar shows. I don't like them becuse they make me feel American is a safe country and full of killers.

Calphalon is the best motherfucking cookware in the world.

And don't you forget it.

Do they show any animated American programs?

Yep, some. But in my watching time, not so many. The Friends and Six Feet Under ae over. I like Late Show, but it is in deep night.

I learn some good life skills from them. I cannot find the source from Chinese books or TVs. I think I have no way to see all Hollywood programs and see them though. But I learn what is good for me.
Carson shows how to iron shirt in one show. Thom show hot to design house. ted show how to mix the cocktail. ect...

We have a bunch of Calphalon, and it is good stuff, but it has one serious flaw: the handles. They are not ergonomic. Before you buy into the Calphalon hype, go to a store and pick up one of the larger pans and hold it for ten seconds by the handle. Then ask youself if the handle is comfortable. Then walk around the store and pick up a cheaper pan with a plastic handle and hold it for ten seconds. Ask yourself the same question. You'll see what I mean.

Calphalon sells an optional $$ rubber grip that slides over the handle and makes it more comfortable and less likely to burn your hand, but then the pan is no longer oven-safe.

As bad as the handles are, I still like my Calphalon. They are heavy duty, heat evenly and quickly, clean up pretty well, and look cool.

Absolutely wonderful piece of equipment, but really only good if you have sufficient counterspace. If you have to keep dragging it in and out of a closet every time you need to whip egg whites, you're actually better off with a good whisk and a small hand mixer that you can stow in the junk drawer.
