Rep Power: 3 | You'd think that they'd have done that at night, since the majority of folks are working during the day.
Maybe they are doing that just to see if it gets good ratings, like they did with Aaron's new show.
Now it'll be interesting to see if his show will come back in the afternoon or in the evening.
But I think they been doing that since they first got started around '94 or '95.
I remember seeing Emeril's show Essence (he's on now) in the afternoon, and others. And believe it or not, the same set back them, was used for Chef Dujor`. This was a show where the FN had on the air to find new talant, you know, potential prospects for new cooking shows. |

Rep Power: 3 | They can run these new shows in these morning weekend slots, but I don't see why they can't repeat them during the week in some of the night time slots. Get rid of those stupid competition shows and do we really need back to back repeat showings of Ace of Cakes, Throwdown, DI, Unwrapped and Triple-D that are show several times during the week and weekend?

Rep Power: 3 | They tend to show too many repeats of some episodes and seemingly not enough of others.
Note the same prime time episode of Iron Chef America is shown twice on Sunday night, twice on Thursday night, again on Saturday evening around 9pm and again on Sunday evening around 6pm.
That's 4 times a week for that one episode!!
And yes, FNC IS very boring!! |

Rep Power: 3 | Maybe we should start a write-in campaign to FN letting them know we would like to see those weekend morning shows repeated at night.

Rep Power: 3 | I would be nice if there were more of the cooking type shows on in the evenings rather than the entainment type shows. I work every other Saturday, so I don't see much of the Sat. morning shows unless I tvio them (and my tivo is stuffed to the gills right now).
They could replace those entertainment show repeats... well, except for repeats of Feasting on Waves and ICA, of course  ... with the weekend shows.
I was watching football and didn't check out the new show |

Rep Power: 10 | Unwrapped seems like more of a weekend daytime show to me. You would think in Prime time they would try and use some star power instead of the kind of generic Challenge and Unwrapped shows. I know they have Marc Summers for unwrapped but he's more of a background voice than anything else. |

Rep Power: 10 | Well they should have him do something. I mean he's a well known guy, let him actually be on the show more than just the opening and the ending. |
