What's the Story?

DELICIOUSNESS is a reality series that celebrates the funniest food moments on the internet. Host Tiffani Thiessen showcases a wide-range of videos that feature cooking mishaps, meal time disasters, and other food fails that have gone viral. Throughout it all, a panel of commentators, including Angela Kinsey, Kel Mitchell, and Tim Chantarangsu, share their thoughts about what they are watching.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 6 ):
Kids say ( 2 ):

The predictable TV show, which takes after its brother series, Ridiculousness, offers viewers a chance to watch some of the food-themed videos available on the internet. From people dropping and breaking dishes filled with mouth-watering home-cooked fare, to folks twerking and eating at the same time, each of the show's 30-minute episodes gives viewers a chance to witness some humorous, if not disturbing, moments involving edible material.

Deliciousness is meant to be silly, and Tiffani Thiessen, along with her panel of foodie friends, offer some quick-witted banter and comical moments. But like most TV shows of this type, the bigger the disaster, the bigger the thrill. As a result, there are videos that feature potentially dangerous (and painful) situations. Those who have a taste for this kind of entertainment might find it worth watching, but if internet videos or food-related humor isn't on your menu, you'll probably want to pass.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about the appeal of internet video shows. Why do people want to watch these videos on television if they can stream them online? Does having people comment on them make them more fun to watch?

  • What do you think about the videos featured on Deliciousness? Are they funny? Disturbing? Just plain weird? Do you think the people featured in them ever thought they would end up on television?

  • Watching videos on YouTube and other internet sites can be fun, but there's lots of online content that's violent, problematic, or just not for kids (and even adults) to watch. How can we make the experience healthier and more fun for the whole family?
