Now that they have changed their approach from cooking and teaching cooking skills to entertaining, contests and reality shows, I find that I am only interested in their re-runs.
All my attempts to deal with the Scripps people have not enabled me to change their approach. So I'll have to live with their re-runs and PBS and other cable shows.
I agree with you. I can do without all the chatter and mixing a ton of ingredients together and saying they are cooking.

What really annoys me is when the 'so-called' cooks eyeball all the ingredients. That teaches us nothing. What is an eyeball's worth?

I still enjoy Michael, Ina, Emeril and Tyler but that's about it. They at least talk about what they are doing and how to do it.
