'''''Dinner and a Movie''''' is an American cooking and entertainment television program aired on [[TBS (American TV channel)|TBS]] from September 8, 1995 to 2011 and made its return since 2024.
The show was hosted by chef Claud Mann and comedian [[Paul Gilmartin]] throughout its run, as well as [[Annabelle Gurwitch]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/10/20/tv/mixing-things-up-with-a-laugh.html|title=Mixing Things Up With a Laugh|last=Meisler|first=Andy|date=20 October 1996|website=New York Times}}</ref> from 1996–2002, [[Kent Osborne]] in 1998 before hosting its "Movie Lounge" spin-off, [[Lisa Arch|Lisa Kushell]] from 2002–2005 and [[Janet Varney]] from 2005 to the show's end in 2011.
==Format==
Each episode included a movie and the preparation of a creative dinner to go with its theme, generally via a [[pun]]. For example, an episode showing ''[[Drumline (movie)|Drumline]]'' features a recipe titled "The Beets Go On", referencing the [[Sonny & Cher]] single "[[The Beat Goes On (Sonny & Cher song)|The Beat Goes On]]", as well as the plot of the movie about a drummer who tries to fit in with a new [[marching band]]. However, some episodes have special guests like [[Kelsey Grammer]] in showing of ''[[Stripes (film)|Stripes]]'', [[Jerry Springer]] in showing of ''[[Dumb and Dumber]]'', and [[Richard Petty]] in showing of ''[[Days of Thunder]]''.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=[[Internet Archive]]|url=http://alt.superstation.com:80/DandM/CDA/GuestPage/0,2455,5,00.html|title=''Dinner and a Movie Guest Page''|date=August 23, 2000|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000823191244/http://alt.superstation.com:80/DandM/CDA/GuestPage/0,2455,5,00.html |archive-date=2000-08-23 }}</ref>

''[[Monkey-ed Movies]]'' debuted in production which were run during the block and in odd time slots after sporting events like a minor golf tournament a day then, the station played about half an hour to unexpected results. The ratings actually increased, which prompted 13 episodes of an expanded half-hour series which would become ''[[The Chimp Channel]]''.<ref>{{cite web|work=[[The Los Angeles Times]]|last=Lucas|first=Michael P.|title=Some Chimp Channel Segments Descend From Classics|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1999/jun/01/entertainment/ca-42906/3|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120709125700/http://articles.latimes.com/1999/jun/01/entertainment/ca-42906/3|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-07-09|date=June 1, 1999|access-date=July 9, 2012}}</ref>
