I cannot believe how bad food network and cooking channel is. Do I really want to watch someone watch others making hamburgers over and over again, Diners, Driveins and Dives and You gotta eat here. NO! I want real cooking shows. The cooking channel is so bad also, it consists of old re-runs of shows and the worst new shows I have ever seen. IE, Rev's Run, Dinner at Tiffany's, Laura's cooking show, Patti Labelle, Cupcake wars (who eats ths junk), Cake Hunters etc etc.
Take a page out of GUSTO network! They have real cooking shows instead of the junk fillers the Food Network has. I have never wanted to eat anything that Giada De Laurentis has on her shows (especially that I heard she spits out her food, too busy showing off her boobs to eat), cake wars, on and on and on with crappy shows. Whoever is in charge of programming should be shot, or at least fired.
