It is not surprising the Food Network airs fewer and fewer quality shows (from a foodie's standpoint). This is the typical saga of a channel hitting their key demographic and viewing numbers.
It's popularity has grown tremendously in the past 10 years.
Accordingly to Nielson Media Research, the network is now viewed in 86.3 million homes.
This some how gives them the right to dump their original broadcasting mission statement for a cookie cutter formula that is designed to attract more Americans to tune in and be mind numbingly entertained.

In short, the Food Network is now a bimbo fest with a line-up of junk that has no real culinary substance.
A Sell Out! An Outrage! A Joke!
So unless you are extremely eager to learn how to make a really bad meal for your loved ones, or mimic poor knife skills, tune out these bozos.
Here are some networks that have some quality programming in my opinion.
Fine Living, NJN, KQED, Discovery Home, INHD
