Food

Pros: Teaches you alot of basic cooking skills, makes cooking exciting!
Cons: They sometimes show reruns of the same show, they could use some more new shows.

I was always a mediocre cook, lacking basic skills and any "real" culinary knowledge. Sure, I've always been creative and experimental in the kitchen, like many other people have been, but I have found something that hasn't cost me any money (except my...

Pros: A gateway to good eating..
Cons: makes me too hungry!

Oh me, oh my, my cable channel just added the Food Network to my cable lineup....And, right after I rejoined Weight Watchers to take off the added holiday pounds that somehow found their way onto my short little body.


My husband...

Pros: Rachael Ray is sexy
Cons: It has infomercials after 5:00 am, and you can't eat what you see!

INTRODUCTION It has been a long time since I wrote an actual review about some sort of product. The first write-up I ever wrote, here at Epinions.com, was shot down like nobody's business. I thought I was the worst writer ever born! Okay, I ...

Pros: Educational and Entertaining
Cons: Some people may get sick of all the food talk

I absolutely LOVE the Food Network (which I affectionately call FOODTV). All day and all night there are programs about food! There are gourmet cooking programs, baking programs, live cooking programs, shows that teach you the finer things about...

Pros: Many great programs, most notably Good Eats.
Cons: Emeril Lagasse, Bobby Flay, and other lobotomized loudmouths.

Part 1: The New Review

Here in Sloucholand, the television is far more likely to be tuned to the Food Network than to any other station. As much as I look forward to weekend marathons of Alfred Hitchock Presents on TVLand or...

Pros: Absolutely marvelous programming that is more appealing than the other networks.
Cons: Reruns of "live" television programs.

Let's face it. I've pretty much decided to turn off most of the regular television broadcasts that are on major networks now. In most of the programs that I have watched, there tends to be a shock value of either sick humor, sexuality, or violence that...

Pros: Easy recipes, good food, fun to watch, and always entertaining.
Cons: Repeats and no cookbook.

Sitting in front of the TV, watching my favorite cooking show, "Emeril Live" as he was wrapping up another big BAM show, I started talking with my wife about how good Emeril's food looked. When we next looked up, Emeril had ended, and on the...

Pros: Beautifully prepared food, charismatic chefs, and campy humor.
Cons: You will never, even on your best kitchen day, duplicate the items prepared by the Iron Chefs and their challengers.

It’s the World’s Strongest Man for food lovers. The Japanese Gourmet version of the now-defunct American Gladiators. It combines delectable food with interesting chefs, a flamboyant host, bad dubbing and campy fun. It is Iron...

Pros: Adventure and wonderful cooking
Cons: None

I enjoy the Food TV very much and watch several of their programs. I enjoy watching the "Two Fat Ladies" on occasion. Their show is based in the United Kingdom and you can see them riding about in their motorized cycle for two going to their...

Pros: Informative and fun to watch for the most part.
Cons: Some shows are too commercial.

My husband is addicted to Food Network. I am serious. He is a TV watcher, and 95% of the time he watches TV alone he is watching Food Network. Like many people, we also tend to have the TV on as background noise a great deal of the time, ...

Pros: A fun diversion that can develop into a Trekkie-like obsession
Cons: no recipes for any of the dishes! (yes, there are some you will like)

I still have a hard time describing this show which is a cult hit in Japan, the United States, and our house! My five year old son loves to watch it, can name all the Iron Chefs, and wants to be an Iron Chef (and make Clam Chowder and “Super Mom...

Pros: a change from the same olds shows, interesting recipes
Cons: Martha Stewart is shown on Food Network

When we first got the Foodtv network on our cable line up, I wondered who would want to watch food shows all day long. Well, I still wonder about the "all day long" thing, but I do try to get a glimpse of a couple of shows each day.

...

Pros: Addictive and Educational!
Cons: lots of repeats

Ok, so what if I am addicted to FoodTV. It is like Zen for me. I admit that at any given time I can be found vegging out to any given program.

My favorites? Well I love Emeril. It’s a Pork Fat thing.. At least that is what he has convinced me....

Pros: hilarious!
Cons: none-you must watch the show!

BY REQUEST, THIS REVIEW HAS BEEN MOVED FROM THE HOME AND GARDEN SECTION TO THE TELEVISION CATEGORY AND SLIGHTLY MODIFIED. THANK YOU FOR READING.

As a culinarily challenged individual, I never imagined myself completely absorbed in the Food...

Pros: great programming
Cons: on eastern time so I miss some good shows

FoodTV is one of my favorite channels. They have so many interesting shows that everyone can find something to entertain them. Here are some of my favorite shows on FoodTV and why I like them so much.

Emeril Live! -- This is a very...
