    It couldn't happen soon enough.

    Can you imagine what they'll replace it with?


    Well, lately they have become the "Iron Chef" network, so I'm betting
    on something similar. I haven't watched Food Network in over a year. I
    read the tv Guide and find soething more interesting to watch. Not
    hard to do.

    About the only thing I see that is interesting to me on an on-going basis is
    the History Channels and alas, I've seen them all.

    Dish network changed their programming guide and it's frustrating to search
    thru since they've decided to go on the cheap. Talk about a bunch of
    dumb-heads changing their pretty-decent guide to the tv guide standard.

    All this is a shame because I subscribe to Dish 250 and really don't get
    much of anything. Certainly no movies that I've not seen.

    I just turned it on to see what I wasn't missing. Florence Tyler
    is looking a little chubbier and acting a little more feminine
    than I remember from 4 years ago.

    The History Channel is one of my favorites. When my children were
    little, they would call it the [censored] channel.

    They were pretty perceptive. Indeed, there's plenty of World War II
    covered!

    I know that they cover a lot of history, but there are certainly parts of
    history I wish they'd cover.
    Guess that's what books are for, to take up the slack.

    Another Rachel Ray special? I seldom watch it anymore.

    Emeril was still a cooking show. He still demonstrated recipes and
    techniques even though he could not usually do them himself. I mean he
    screwed up slicing onions. And what FoodTV seems to be ditching is any show
    involving cooking. It is all geared towards eating and showcasing eateries
    that no doubt pay a huge chunk of money to appear on the shows. So I bet
    they will probably give Rachel the Harpy another show but she'll no doubt be
    stuffing her face and giggling like a trollop instead of actually cooking
    something. Not that it matters to me, being overweight myself, but she is
    really packing on the poundage and I'll bet money she'll be cancelled if she
    keeps that up. Very vicious those shows. All image.

    Send them an email, about the topics you are interested in, maybe it
    will help.

    A German professor and historian named Lothar Machtan, claims that
    [censored] was gay, and we watched his documentary on the History Channel.
    Their noses were glued to the History Channel that day. In fact, they
    watched it at least twice.

    Just give teenagers a topic of interest and you will have their complete
    attention. LOL

    He's newly married (I think it is new? I saw it in some magazine a while
    ago) so perhaps that explains the weight gain?
    He was always so sexy before and he's less so now. Less "edgy" or
    something too... I still like him though!

    I did not watch him much after awhile. I did eat at Nola once. It was
    fantastic. There is not doubt about his skills as a chef In my mind. I
    just found him dull and the BAM [censored] was outrageous after awhile. I had
    tickets to see his show in NY once. I could not make the trip. That was
    my fault though. Something more personal came up. Had I been able to make
    the trip I'd have seen him and may have had a more positive outlook.

    Why did I have a nightmare that they replaced it with a Rosie

    Remember those K-Mart commercials with her and Penny Marshall?

    Swell, that frees up more broadcast time so they can put in another
    blasted Rachel Ray show.

    Damn! and I wasn't recording his programs because I thought he'd be on
    there forever.

    He always made me dizzy moving back and forth looking for items to cook
    with. That, and I just couldn't stand his showing-off.
    Charming to some, I'm sure. But I didn't think 'kicking it up a notch'
    with garlic was exactly funny.

    I always wanted to kick his butt up a notch with my foot, and bam him on
    the head.

    I have ALWAYS felt this way about Emeril, but I can remember several years
    ago when he had many defenders right here on rfc. I'm practically gloating
    at the responses I'm seeing now. :-)

    There is a holiday special on right now and I asked DH if he wanted me to
    record it, he say Naw! and I agreed. Tyler was up - and I wasn't even
    interested. I know I'll probably have missed something, but at the moment I
    didn't even care.

    swearing out ceremony. ;-)

    he was having carnal knowledge with the lot of them after the filming, the

    eating and running.

    How is it you know he's gained only 10 pounds?
    And was that just since marriage? He'd gained a bit more before that
    then. Obviously it isn't any BFD, but just commented on.
    Alton Brown also got porky during the motorcycle road show. He had man
    [censored] in fact! But he's since lost the extra weight and is looking very
    nice indeed on the Next Iron Chef show.
