Any chance that FN is trying to force out Alton (or at least Good Eats) the way they have other stars/shows that got to pricey?
I doubt it. I think they are just trying to ride the coattails of AB success. Alton's ALL up in the FN: Good Eats, Iron Chef, the Feasting on Asphalt/Sea series, Next Iron Chef...
They've done other weird shows along this line as well, that crazy George Durand show, The Secret Life of... with both Jim O'Connor and now George Durand...
AB's still turning out new Good Eats episodes. And they just put Good Eats in the Emeril Live showcase spot at 8pm a few months ago.
I don't see the Food Network forcing AB out anytime soon.
(am watching the 2 part "Tender Is The Loin" episodes as I type!)

I'm probably just parnoid, but I would have said the same thing about Emeril a couple of years ago - I was surprised, though not remotely upset, when they decided to not do Emeril Live anymore.
I think that AB's role at FN is more diverse than Emeril's.
Blogging SYTYCD has quit, so can anyone do a quickie recap of last night for the tv-free? Who went home? I saw the oh nos, but can't interpret!
flea -
Mark and Chelsie went home.
Project Rungay has another comic up by their special guest straight cartoonist. Words cannot express my love. I'm just sitting here flailing.

Emeril Live is going to the Fine Living network, so the decision may have been made for them.
Isn't FLN owned by the same folks as FN? Or is it that FN is owned by the people that own HGTV not the people who own FN?
