Last year, I did an article for New Jersey Monthly magazine about Garden State restaurants that had participated in Gordon Ramsay's 'Kitchen Nightmares.' The participants met with varied amounts of success, but Joseph Cerniglia (right, pictured with Ramsay), owner of Campania restaurant in Fair Lawn, seemed to be one of the happiest to have undergone the change.

So I was surprised to hear that Cerniglia's body was found floating in the Hudson River near the George Washington Bridge on Friday. No word of how he got there, but according to the Bergen Record, there were no signs of foul play and motorists reported someone jumping off the bridge just hours before Cerniglia's body was found.

One thing I'd like to see on certain TV shows are follow-ups to stories. Specifically I'm talking about real-life shows like Cops or design shows. Another show I'd add to the list is Kitchen Nightmares, the FOX (and Channel 4) show that has Gordon Ramsay going into restaurants and helping them get their act together.

Some episodes of the show feature Ramsay visiting the place weeks or a few months later, but I'd like to see the restaurants a year or two later, to see if they're still doing things Ramsay's way or not (and if they're still in business).

It's rather interesting, when you think about it, that chef Gordon Ramsay has not one but two shows on FOX, Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares. And this isn't like Rachael Ray having 22 different shows. She has a show that is syndicated to many stations around the county, and her other shows are on a cable station, Food Network, where she is a brand and one of the top stars. FOX is a major network, with not as many time slots as a cable station, so FOX must really believe in Ramsay to give him shows that air year-round, not just in one season.

Fans of the first season are going to be particularly interested in what happens on the very first episode.
