I'm So Sick & Tired of FN Challenge!!

Bentley Green · 11-08-2008, 09:59 PM

Are there any more of you out there who are as sick and tired as I am of this show?

Seems as though it is on twice a day every day of the week - once in the afternoon, again at 7 pm and twice again on Saturdays and Sundays!!! Maybe three times today, because it was on twice today already and now it's on again!! Enough already!!

Is there really an expanation as to why this show is on twice or more a day every day - wasting up and monpolizing that much valuable TV air time? Seriously; Are there that many viewers watching this now tired and boring show that many times?!!

I mean, isn't there someone who might be working on pulling the plug on this show? Seems as though every time I turn around, this show is on again more times than I ever care to see it!! Why is this train wreck allowed to continue?!!

I can't say anything, I think I'm the only one on here that enjoys the challenge shows.

Honestly; This is nuts!! I can't believe this crap!

It's on again now, again at 12 midnight and again at 3am!!

That's about 7 times today already!!

As long as they don't preempt Alton to show them.

I have enjoyed a few, but they are getting a bit too much for me.

They must bring in viewers or they wouldn't be showing them.

It's a strong possibility. They might have heard you say that.

There isn't one excuse in the world at all why they are doing this! It's just ridiculous!

I think I'm going to send them an e-mail, asking them why seem so obsessed with airing this show so many blasted times a day.

Once or twice a day might not be as bad, but my God, come on now! They've gone completely overboard with it!

Tomorrow evening, there's a new episode on Italian dishes, but just before that one is the worn-out and tired Dr. Seuss cake episode which I've already seem a gazillion times. The sooner they cut back on so many episodes of the program, the better!

Well since you have cable, I'm sure you have about a hundred other channels to choose from.

I am not sure why you are taking Food Network's programming choices so personally.

If you are so "sick & tired" of the challenge shows, why do you keep watching them? As Bakerman said, there's other things on TV to watch. Or, you could read a book, go to the movies, visit with friends, cook... Lots of other choices.

I don't care for them, so I don't watch them. Simple.

Well, I have other stuff to watch on cable, however, I'd rather watch a good episode of Ina or DD&D's or old Anthony Bourdain. Anything but the challenge shows. We were just talking about that tonight and husband and I both agree, they have them on far too often and rerun them so often that the tapes must be getting thin!

Yes, we change the channel, of course! But honestly, we'd rather have a food demonstration show than the challenges.

I think FN needs to put a limit as to how many times they can run the same show over and over again. Some of them are from years ago and I could probably recite the dialogue word for word as we have seen them so often. That's why we now change the channel...unless I'm getting residuals, I'm not watching them again...that is, if they are a repeat.
