As many before me have stated, the programming has changed for the worst. The game shows and the competitions are TERRIBLE! The kids cooking/baking/grilling is by far the most annoying television I have ever had the pleasure of changing the channel on! Come on! Kids that age barely have a palate past box macaroni and cheese. And the annoying commentating by these kids, that is clearly and poorly scripted is enough to make me want to ruin my perfectly good television.
I want to watch the "Food Network" to learn about and appreciate new tastes, techniques and ideas. I want to watch the experts do what they do! No one needs to be judged, (And don't get me started on the smug, evil eyeing, rude judges that make the rounds on these desperate shows).
I love Bobby Flay, he is your keeper. He's real, inspirational, diverse and not putting on the airs, dressing up in the theme, or smiling with all 32 teeth in his face while pronouncing each noodle, cheese or herb with a fake accent.
Please have a BIG executive meeting about what you think is the best content for your network and then do NONE OF IT! Instead, listen to the people and give them what they want! It's that easy!
