Will do. I am quite excited about it. Well, as excited as one gets about frozen food products. But still! Kevin!
That article about HGTV/Food Network was fascinating. I had no idea how the subscription revenues broke down. I really wish there were part and parcel packages available. I would pay 50 cents a month for Food Network, but definitely not for a bunch of the other channels I receive.
In fact, I could probably have Discovery, Bravo, Food Network, BBC, SyFy, TNT, & CN, plus locals, and never notice the difference. Okay, and CSpan. And ESPN. And Comedy. Okay, I probably need the damn package.
Why You Can't Watch Food Network or HGTV on Cablevision
The article tries to be fair to both sides, but I know from co-workers downstairs at the channel (which is not currently on Cablevision) and my own as a customer that Cablevision is run by cheap assholes. I don't blame Scripps one bit in this fight.
Guess what I found on Create this morning?

I don't think that WTTW (local PBS station) even showed it but there it was.
Looks like a fun season.
It does, although I pray to God that Rupert goes home early.
Oh you guys, we just got back from Vegas and while we were wandering the Venetian I made the gang stop at Bouchon Bakery for cookies. Hands down the best macaroons I’ve had a long, long time. Also? We saw Hubert Keller walking towards Burger Bar so it was a Top Chef Vegas trip!
Worst Chef in America: They're doing shellfish again? And I still think I would like this show better if they focused on home-style cooking rather than restaurant-style.
Have you watched Chef Academy? I've only caught a couple of eps, and the guy running it seems like a jackhole, but it does seem to start out each ep with "how to cook bread" or some such, and actually teaching them how to do it and *then* making them compete.
yeah, the show has a lot of serious limitations. He does seem to do some instruction, but the casting for the show leaves a lot to be desired. It is over produced in some areas with fake drama and staged conflict.
I wish there was a bit more instruction that the viewer could benefit from.
I find the way he fucks with the other french guy incredibly uncomfortable. Okay, dude was a stripper. So does not make it okay to ask him to strip for other contestants, even if he doesn't appear to care. Ugh.
