Here’s some good news: Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, a (1) entertaining reality show that (2) treated its subjects intelligently, seriously and respectfully yet (3) actually got pretty decent ratings, has been picked up for a second season. While the show didn’t set the Nielsens on fire last spring, it did creditably in a tough Friday night slot, and winning a best noncompetition reality show Emmy can’t have hurt.The second season reportedly will change up the show’s format: rather than remake one school lunch program, in West Virginia, Oliver will travel to different locations in the L.A. area to remake diets.

Here’s a blog post and a column I wrote about the show in the spring; above, a clip from season one.
