[edit] Spelling

I corrected the spelling of "Equipment Corner" host Adam Reid's last name, and it hyperlinked to a different Adam Reid. I am not sure how to correct that.

Adam Reid should ideally be a disambiguation page identifying various people with that name. With the notability guideline, it's probably unrealistic to have a page for each supporting cast member - their only notability would be in connection with this show, and so all of those details could be reasonably contained in this page, until there is enough information to warrant breaking out a new page just for that individual. If you have any interesting details about somebody that isn't Mr. Kimball, they should probably be added to this page for the time being, as long as they conform to the living person guidelines.

The spelling of his last name is actually not so cut-and-dry. Some episodes spell it Reid, some spell it Ried, and the website (for both the show and the magazine) spells it Ried (as do many other online references). Meanwhile, since he's not particularly notable outside of the context of the show and magazine, is it even necessary to link him to begin with? 64.142.9.38 (talk) 05:20, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

In Season 8, his last name is consistently spelled "Ried." 64.142.9.38 (talk) 09:25, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] complaints

You can only access current season information on the show's website. If you want to see recipes from previous seasons, you have to subscribe to Cook's Illustrated Magazine for an annual fee. If you want to watch the show On Demand, you have to pay a fee after the 14-day trial. I pay enough money for internet access; I don't want to keep paying to find more information.
