In the same vein as The Chef Show I posted about here, I'd encourage you all to check out Guy Fieri's "Guy's Ranch Kitchen". While Fieri has a ton of stuff on Food Network that appeals to a lot of different sensibilities, GRK is a wellspring of ideas.
The format is Guy coming up with a theme, e.g. small plates or picnic food or whatever and then several very good chefs coming up with dishes loosely riffing on that format. The chefs are mostly very very good (Traci des Jardin, Jonathan Waxman, Antonia Lofaso etc) and because there are several different chefs, you get to see varying interpretations of the theme.
The nice thing is that the recipes are all on the Food Network site, so if you want to try a dish, you can.
