Style Network tries to prepare Soup

Filed under: ,

No doubt envious of all the buzz The Soup is getting, E!’s sister channel, Style Network, is planning their own version. Premiering August 16th, The Dish will cover more topics than The Soup including TV, celebrities, fashion and beauty. Here’s the kicker though: The Dish is set to be hosted by Topanga herself, Boy Meets World’s Danielle Fishel.

Style executive VP Salaam Coleman sums up The Dish’s appeal, saying, “What’s great about The Dish is that it takes a not-so-serious look at the often very serious world of fashion and finds the comedy in

celebrity lifestyle.” Well yes, that would be great–in theory.

The problem is, that is a type of show that is very difficult to do well. You need a strong group of writers and a charismatic host. While The Soup may be the toast of the town now, it kind of sucked when it first aired. While two of The Soup’s executive producers are behind The Dish, I’m not certain whether Danielle is going to fairly have the “pop” that that show is going to need.
