All Those Blasted Challenge Shows on the Food Network are just plain ridiculous!!

[Big Daddy's House]

Have any of you seen this show, Food Network Challenge?

Are you just about as sick and tired as I am of it? This blasted show is on way too many friggen times, wasting up and monopolizing too much TV air time.

Six blasted times between Satuday and Sunday, then about 8 times or more during the week! I'll be so damn glad when the plug is pulled on this damn show!!!
It is just ridiculous how this show seems to get top billing over everything else on the network!!

I'm waiting very patiently for this aggravating and annoying show to get yanked from the airwaves!!! :mad:

[Semigourmet]

I guess I don't watch Food network that much anymore, as most of it is re-runs now. I watch more of fine living, and planet green. Emeril has a pretty good cooking show on there, but am finding that it too is re-runing.

[Dough Boy]

I was sick of it when it first started. I'm not into competition cooking, so there is no draw for me at all.

[Big Daddy's House]

Also, those other ones that are similar to it, such as The Ultimate Recipe Showdown and Last Cake Standing - which is really a worn-out & tired boring rehashing of the same old tired crap!!!

AMEN! I think you're preaching to the choir, Reverend.:p

[Big Daddy's House]

On Sunday evening, that show was on three friggen times back-to-back!!

Really, I friggen hate that show, and I'm not thilled about those look-alikes either.

When those aggravating programs are about to come on, I change the channel.

Stop the madness and kill the noise!!! That network's primetime line-up totally SUCKS!!

Why so angry, you seem to use the word "friggen" in many of your posts, why the frequent rants?

[Big Daddy's House]

Because it seems like every time I want to watch something on that channel, especially on weekends in the afternoon, it appears that this show is on two or more times on Saturdays and Sundays. And during the week.

They really need to pull the plug on this program. It is so boring and ridiculous!

[lesley]

We get a lot of "food" tv here...on most channels...It makes me mad when we have to pay over £100 for a license from the BBC & don't get any choice in the matter..then on top of that still have to pay Sky!
If you don't pay your license fee..the BBC sends a van round your road to see if your receiving a signal!!

Hey Bentley, here's a thought: why not pull the plug on your tv and read a book, see a movie, watch something else on TV or join Netflix? You might be spending waaaaay too much time watching the food channel. Still friends?

Somebody must like it or they wouldn't be airing it so much. Just chill... no TV program is worth getting that upset about. Life is too short.

[Big Daddy's House]

Probably the main reason that I grew so sick & tired of it is because it is shown way too often. You'd get tired of something too, if you've seen it too many times, or if you know that it's on more times than you care to watch it. There's really nothing that's educational about it.

I DO watch other channels beside the FN - such as Animal Planet, Discovery & History Channels Nat'l Geo and TLC. Just watched and recorded shows on TLC about morbid obesity.

I also have a ton of movies on both VHS & DVD. And I watch them quite frequently, the ones that I haven't seen yet.

Really, I like most of the shows on the Food network. Not FNC. And about the only time that I won't watch the network is when that show is on. Ultimate Recipe Contest, I'll watch at times because Guy Fieri hosts it. I like him. I'll watch Chopped because it seems somewhat like a scaled-down version of Iron Chef America.

And yes, I DO read a lot. Got tons of books and cookbooks, also. :D

[Drama Queen]

I LOVE Guy, both on the Ultimate Recipe Contest and his Big Bite.
Maybe you should do what I do, I DVR everything, I watch nothing when it's on so that I can fast forward he commercials and watch the shows when I want to. Go through your guide and tape or record the shows you'd like to see, especially the cooking shows. When there's nothing on or repeats are showing, just watch the first run shows you taped minus the comercials.

It's worth the extra few buck to subsrcibe to DVR through your cable system or invest in TiVo.

[Big Daddy's House]

I'm paying enough for cable as it is.

On Demand lets you do that as well. You can FF, rewind or pause so that you don't miss a thing. That is, if you have a digital cale converter box. An analog one won't let you do it. But I think On Demand has no commercial interruptions.

I have a VCR that automatically skips through commercials with programs recorded with them on playback, but since I bought an HD flat-screen TV, it has made recording with
VCR's obsolete. Can only playback with them connected to HD's.

I DO have a DVR, but not all of the networks broadcast in HD. And the ones that do, the screen is not in full format, so I don't bother to record from it.

The TV in the bedroom is analog and the VCR is built into it. Can record manually and pause to eliminate the commercials though, but even THAT is sometimes annoying, especially if distracted by something else.

[Drama Queen]

If your screen isn't showing a full picture you need to find out why from your cable company. You may have it set wrong. It should record full screen, except for Turner Classic Movies, they show the movies in letterbox form, I hate that. DVR devices don't need to be recorded in HD. I don't on several shows. As I said I record EVERYTHING. But the cooking shows are AWESOME in HD. Makes my mouth water. LOL

[Big Daddy's House]

Sometimes with certain channals, you have no choice.

Same with certain movies on DVD. They can only be played in the wide-screen format,
which is sometimes a pain in the butt!!

If you're getting your DVD's from Netflix, and you should, then just call and ask that your movies be sent to you in full screen format. Sometimes the DVD's come both ways. And if you're paying more than 90 cents per movie, shame on you for not looking into Netflix. ;)

Netflix is awesome!

I even enjoy their online streaming, I have a computer hooked up to my TV.

Nope.

I buy them from Amazon.com and from Blockbuster or FYE (formerly Strawberries).

I like the idea of online streaming but my computer is in a different room. So I just get the movies in my mailbox.

[monamona]

Hi: Some Shows get repeated because of popular demand. Sometimes the owners would like to please the fans. Also, they want to repeat at different times so that those who were unable to watch at a certain time can get the opportunity to do so at another time.

[Big Daddy's House]

Yes, I'm aware of that. Thanks.

But since that show has been on for far more times than I care to watch it, I struck it off my list of shows that I like to watch.

[Zippy]

Yes, I'm aware of that. Thanks.

But since that show has been on for far more times than I care to watch it, I struck it off my list of shows that I like to watch.

This may be a stupid question but... if you don't like the show, don't watch the show... why do you keep ranting and raving about it? :confused:

[Big Daddy's House]

I'm already not watching it.

Haven't done so since God knows when.

[Zippy]

I'm already not watching it.

Haven't done so since God knows when. That didn't answer my question BG. :rolleyes:

[Big Daddy's House]

You'll get it soon.

[Zippy]

You'll get it soon.

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Is this like the "chivalry" comment?

[Big Daddy's House]

I don't want to talk about it any more. I got my views, you got yours.

I said what I said. Let's let sleeping dogs lie.

Why are you spamming now?

[DidSomeoneSayChocolate]

I don't much care for most of the challanges either.
Like the one for best bar tender, who cares.
But like all others say don't sweat it what does it really matter anyway.
Step away ...... from the tube ;)

[Big Daddy's House]

Again, I don't watch that any more.

When it's about to come on, I change the channel to something else.

[Zippy]

Why are you spamming now?
How in the deuce is posting a pix of sleeping dogs spamming???? Do you even know what spamming is?

[Big Daddy's House]

Off topic material.

[Drama Queen]

I don't want to step on any toes here, but I LOVE the photo of the sleeping dogs. It's just toooo funny. Off topic? Don't think so. The photo just gave us a "picture" of the phrase ...let sleeping dogs lie. Now I'M in trouble.

[Zippy]

If the photo of "sleeping dogs" is off topic, then BG's comment about letting sleeping dogs lie is off topic too.

And BTW BG... spamming is not posting something off topic. Spamming is:
Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, and file sharing network spam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(electronic)

Drama Queen... I thought it was funny too. Guess some didn't think so.

No. But it would have been better if you said it better.

Say I'm crazy or silly. That's milder. :D

[Zippy]

Thought this thread was closed? :confused:

Change of heart there BG?


And, speaking of FNC shows, I don't normally watch them either, but the one last night (Birthday cake) was a hoot! I think they had the world's ugliest cake on there and then it really got funny when the decorator accidentally set the cake on fire and they had to spay the thing down with the fire extinguisher to put it out.

It was. Thought about it and re-opened it.

There are some shows there that I like. This isn't one of them. I pretty much watch them all. This one needs to be thrown in the trash! :(

[glenfoxman]

Nothing I hate more than finding out after I have gotten back home from a cruise that their was some food item that I missed that someone thought was really good.

What was your favorite food on your Celebrity cruise?

[Big Daddy's House]

What the hell is with the Food Network these days?

Let's see, there's that blasted Food Network Challenge, Chopped, Throwdown,
Iron Chef America and there was Ultimate Recipe Showdown.

Seems every few months, another goddamn challenge show surfaces with them!! This time, another one is about to clog the airwaves in January!

Titled Worse Cooks in America, several contestants will meet to challenge each other in a damn contest to see who will win.

This is about the 5th or 6th challenge show to clog the network's prime time line-up!! When will this ridiculous farce ever end?!!

It is scheduled to premere on January 3 as part of Super Night, following the Iron Chef America special episode of Super Battle. Why is this train wreck allowed to continue?!! :mad:

[Kimchee]

I kind of like the challenge shows.
You can only show a cook cooking, or a host visiting eateries so many times.
At least the challenge shows are a bit different, have a bit of excitement, and
allow me to bitch about how the judges are wrong, LOL!

I still want to see them use regular, non-professional foodie cooks like us in a
challenge show....

[Big Daddy's House]

Technically, I could give a crap less about their concept with those shows.

A few are ok, like Throwdown, ICA and Chopped. But it's just too ridiculous to have to keep on seeing a new goddamn challenge show every few months.

That's why I mainly watch the daytime shows. Note that they were once occupying the evening slots. They've all been moved to mornings and afternoons to make way for all those goddamn challenge shows.

The FN did the wrong thing by moving Emeril Live to the FLN because all that's on at 7pm or most of the time, is that damn FNC!! I got a bottle of champaigne in the fridge. It was to be for New Year's last December, but hopefully, I'll open it when that aggravating show is canned!!

[Whoopie Pie]

Chill, no need getting worked up over something that you cannot change!

[Big Daddy's House]

Yeah, I hardly watch the evening shows there at night. Only a selected few. The rest, they can yank off the air and throw them in the trash!

[Toskana]

Suppose that everyone is just fed up with that TV shows.So am I.But unfortunately we can't change anything.I prefer to find some receipts in the Internet and cook by myself.

[bhardy501]

Its because we live in the age of reality TV. Its all about ratings.

[Big Daddy's House]

Well, as long as that line-up concept is in place, I'm watching fewer and fewer of those shows at night!

[HattoriHanzo]

I'm with you Sherm on those terrible reality cooking shows masquerading as entertainment. Tho only exception being "Come Dine With Me" which is on in the UK and is basically 4 - 5 people over a week who throw a 3 course dinner party for the other contestants and are judged by their peers with a cash prize at the end. Hilarious !!.
There must be a similar show in the US ?

[Chowhound]

I remember a show like that on the food network a few years ago, maybe more. The small group would go over to each other's places and be served a large fancy meal by that contestant. I remember everyone being surprised by the meal the punk/goth guy turned out in his tiny apt.

That's the funny thing about that show, you get all kinds including vegetarians.

[Chowhound]

It sounds like a parallel show. I don't remember the name of the one here in the states, but for a reality type show it was very watchable. Well, for one episode anyway, lol.

[Semigourmet]

Unfortunately most of the the shows on FN now are reruns or challenges! I am a little sick of what they are doing. they are ruining the network like BBC America has done by showing nothing but the same old crap over and over.

Right on, HattorHanzo and Semigourmet!

The primetime line-up on the Food Network has definitely gone down the crapper!!

I already hated that boring FNC with a pure fashion something fierce, and now, it's like all of their nightly shows are friggen challenge shows!! They're daytime line-up is good, but at night, I watch other channels now because I hate the Food Network at night!!

[Kimchee]

Just think.... without these disgusting Challenge shows, there'd be no Aaron McCargo Jr. for you to be a fan of...... LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

To each their own; I like the challenge shows.

[Roberta]

A few challenge shows are OK. But I think FN is over doing it a bit. They must be inexpensive to produce and in these 'challenging' economic times maybe that is why they are doing more of them.

[Big Daddy's House]

Just think.... without these disgusting Challenge shows, there'd be no Aaron McCargo Jr. for you to be a fan of...... LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

To each their own; I like the challenge shows.



If you are talking about The next Food Network Star, and I think that you are,
that one is ok, since it's only on once a year.

Roberta, you're RIGHT! They ARE overdoing it to the point where it is just plain ridiculous!!

[Big Daddy's House]

I think that there IS a new show that might be scheduled to debut next month on that network.

Let's all hope that it's not another one of those goddamn challenge shows because if it IS, then I won't watch it!

[Big Daddy's House]

And BTW, I've merged the other thread that I started "Oh no, not another Challenge Show!!" with THIS one.

And then, I renamed it from "I hate this Food Network Challenge Show" to "All these Challenge Show on the Food Network are just plain ridiculous.

[rnellis2002]

I could not agree more. What happened to the great cooking shows and not the reality tv BS that seems to be taking over our lives. Like others, I've been switching over to the Fine Living network. OBTW, Three Sheets is awesome if you haven't checked it out.

[Big Daddy's House]

I think that other show, Worst Cooks in America, has been shitcanned.

I don't see it being advertised any more.

[Roberta]

I still agree with you, Sherm. I used to watch Food Network more than any other network. Not any more. It has gone stale. :(

[Big Daddy's House]

In the morning and afternoon every day, it's good.

At night, it just literally SUCKS big time!!

[Big Daddy's House]

Looks like the bad epidemic of those blasted challenge shows on the Food Network have spread like a cancer to other channels, even those ones that aren't cooking channels!!

For instance, there's The Biggest Loser, which is a challenge show!

Then there are remake shows featuring the Old West shootouts on the History Channel that are blasted challenge shows.

Guy Fieri hosts a challenge show on either ABC or NBC where contestants are chosen from the audience to participate in some dumb science blasted challenge crap!!

And TVOne is presently airing Ultimate Merger, an 8-week mini series filmed at the Trump Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, which is also another blasted challenge show!! One of the contestants is Al B. Sure!.

It is just plain ridiculous, and the blasted Food Network is to blame for ALL of this!

[Kimchee]

It's nice to have something to rant about sometimes..... good stress reducer!

;) :) :)

[Big Daddy's House]

Here's something else to rant about;

Another blasted challenge show is airing on the Food Network on Sunday night at 9!!!! It is called The Great Food Truck Race, and it will host Tyler Florence.

When will this crap cease?!!!

[Roberta]

Geez!! What is this one about? A truck race? How does that fit with cooking? Sounds dumb to me.

[Big Daddy's House]

I'm not even about to try to find out!!

[mars777]

Have any of you seen this show, Food Network Challenge?

Are you just about as sick and tired as I am of it? This blasted show is on way too many friggen times, wasting up and monopolizing too much TV air time.


I couldn't agree more thoroughly! :mad: You're right on about that, Sherman. And about The Great Food Truck Race, maybe it's an effort to cater to a larger audience, like having monster trucks and the Budweiser Clydesdales at an air show. Dumb idea. Sounds suspiciously desperate too!

Mike

[Big Daddy's House]

The more that I think of that blasted show, the more I want to go to New York City's Chelsea Market myself and yank it off the air!!

Jus pull the plug on it like Peewee the baby does with electrical things in the animated film, Bebe's Kids!!!!!

[mars777]

I suppose there's a market for these kinds of programs or they wouldn't be on, for long anyway, but I sure can't understand why. I think people have been gradually desensitized over the years where now it's no big deal to humiliate someone in public. That's totally reprehensible.

As long as Me-Me-Me! is happy, hang the expense, even if someone is devalued in the process. A kind of stuporous mindlessness wherein beating out the other person is the only thing of merit, has set in to where pointless shows such as we are discussing can catch on. "Ok, he's down, let's get 'em!" What ever happened to a good, straight forward show that instructs, enlightens and entertains in a good way, and not by "building up" by tearing someone else down?

Well, thankfully there are still some shows that are enjoyable to watch, but these new ideas keep getting sillier and more pointless. I apologize for the ratchetjaw rant; ususlly I'm quite taciturn. I probably got a little nonsensical in my tirade, Sorry. :eek: Maybe these "challange" shows are viewed by some as entertainment, but I just don't dig it. :confused:

Mike

[Semigourmet]

Okay the Truck Race and the cupcake wars Oh Wholly Lord!! Not watchin em.

[Whoopie Pie]

I've watched a few episodes of the Great Food Truck Race, and didn't hate them actually. But a few is about all that you need, each show is in a different city, but the show is pretty much the same, get some money, go shopping, find a place to set up the truck, talk crap about the other trucks, get some absurd challenge from Tyler, rinse repeat.

My biggest problem is, now food trucks will become too popular, big companies will find a way to exploit the concept and push out the pioneers of the business, making it just another worn out fad.

Right now the whole idea of cupcakes seems absurd, the story is the same, "I left my corporate job to follow my dream of having a cupcake shop!" while bakeries with bakers that actually know what they are doing likely suffer from this new fad because they don't have a boutique experience, even though they may have a superior product. My nephew and his fiancée live near DC, and were going to visit Georgetown Cupcakes, the cupcake shop featured on the show "DC Cupcakes" the line was 1 1/2 hours long, needless to say, they took one look and said, you would have to be nuts to stand in that line for a cupcake.

[Bolas de Fraile]

America sneezes the UK gets Pneumonia, I wondered why "cup cakes" were en vogue. The puerile food prog challenges are overhere to, the format is very Simon Cowell.

[Big Daddy's House]

They'll probably come up with a challenge show titled; Who Can Cook the Best Snake Meat?, or The Great Snake Meat Race. Geez!!!

[Semigourmet]

ROFLOL!!

[Big Daddy's House]

Nothing with that channel surprises me any more!

[Big Daddy's House]

It seems as though that blasted Food Network Challenge and now that new show, The Great Food Truck Race are getting top billing!

The both are on all weekend 3 to 4 times a day!!! It's just a train wreck! One train wreck after another!! Just how many more train wrecks do we have to go through with them!?!

Why is this train wreck allowed to continue?!!!

[mars777]

Can't understand the popularity either. I guess there's no accounting for taste.

[Big Daddy's House]

They need to just yank some of those nighttime programs off the air!! They are both sickening and annoying.

[mars777]

I agree that there is a lot of junk to filter to get to the good stuff. Can't understand the appeal of it. Guess it really does show that it takes all kinds.....

[Big Daddy's House]

Yeah, there IS such as thing as overdoing it, and that is exactly what has happened there. As I said, the morning, & afternoon shows are fine.

But as soon as those blasted challenge programs start coming on, that is when they've lost me!!

[Kimchee]

Pretty sad that Next Food Network Star was number one cable show in their time slot, huh?

I like the challenge shows, and say bring on MORE!!!!!

Hell of a lot more entertaining than hours and hours of Paula, Racheal, Ms I Must Talk in an Italian Accent Giada, etcetcetc... after a while, put the chicken in the pan and rub with seasonings bake for.... gets borrrrrrring.

[Big Daddy's House]

Well, guess I'm old school.

Most of those challenge shows are boring.

[mars777]

.....Most of those challenge shows are boring.
They're not one on one, like with Good Eats, and as far as I know they don't give you any history or interesting little tidbits of side info on the food being prepared. Too impersonal.

[Big Daddy's House]

More imfo and concentration on the contests themselves, but little or no info on the food that is being prepped and cooked!

[mars777]

Yep, seems to be more of a self-promotion than having any really useful info as to ingredients, technique, etc. The competition shows don't really involve the viewer in the experience. Maybe it's not so important to some who are already well experienced, but for those like me, I appreciate any useful info. Some shows give a clue as to permissable substitute ingredients, or where to get them, sometimes when as to season, etc. For me it's those shows that are really worth watching.

[renmark1412]

Hey Man, there's always DVDs.

[abi_csi]

I like some cooking shows where real recipe's are reinacted, but not all the boring masterchef competition type thigs - BORING!
Give me a cookcook any day!

[Big Daddy's House]

Yeah, the Food Network has gone to crap with all those blasted challenge shows!

[abi_csi]

Hehe!

What did I say? I can't find the quote. :D

[Big Daddy's House]

I tried to find it as well, but couldn't.

Yet another blasted challenge show has been started on the crappy Food Network, called Best in Smoke!!

In THIS one, contestants compete for a $50,000 grand prize. Each contestant must challenge the other by cooking the best-tasting smoked BBQ'd ribs. I bgegan watching the repeat from Sunday night this afternoon at 3, and when I heard the word CHALLENGE, I got mad, completely lost it and changed the channel!! They've lost me!!

[pocofan]

My wife loves them. Me, not so much. I did follow Next Food Network Star last time around. But really, how much can you watch people making cupcakes ?? There was one show on briefly about a northeastern family that made cookies that seemed like it would be good. A few shows and it was gone. But cupcakes, "celebrity" chefs competitions.......yuk
