The Food Channel Network Shows Knowledge Base
Why is the Travel Channel so much better than Food Network? I love watching food shows and am consistently disappointed in the quality of food network shows. Why does Travel Channel (aka Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern) have so many higher quality, better produced, and generally more entertaining and insightful food shows than anything on Food Network?
What website was shown on the food network channel? I was watching the show unwrapped and there was a lady who has a website about saving money at the grocery store. She puts a list out on what to buy what week and how much you actually save. I saw her checkout total which was around 278.00 and going by the list and with coupons her total was 77.00! I really need that website. HELP!
So why has the Travel Channel turned into the Food Network? I used to love watching shows about different places around the world, but it seems like everything is on the Travel Channel is about food now. If I wanted to watch food, I'd turn on the Food Network. I hate watching food shows because I never have any of the foods they feature on there. D:<
Which food network shows do you watch, which are annoying and which should get the boot? I have recently noticed that my TV is constantly on the food network show, with the occasional change to the travel channel for Man vs Food. Which Food network shows do you watch on a regular, which are just flat out annoying and which two shows would you get rid of? Me... Keep Dinner Impossible (and I would put it on more than once a week-that show is just toooo good.) The Diner show with Guy Anything Paula Deen Tyler's Ultimate Big Daddy and Sandra Lee. Annoying Down home with the Neelys-I like their recipes, but it's just something about them that rubs me the wrong way. Restaurant Secrets-again, like the recipes, but the chef on there seems fake. Giada at home-have never tried any of her recipes and don't want to. Boot Quick Fix meals-I mean, does anyone actually watch that show and I hate to say it but the ten dollar meals-I really wanted her to win when she competed on the next food network star but I have not seen one recipe she has made that I would try. Getting the boot 1. R
Is the consumption of alcoholic drinks legal in cooking or travel shows? Is the consumption of alcoholic drinks legal in cooking or travel shows. The Travel Channel and Food Network shows (such as Racheal Ray's $40 a Day) show the hosts drinking. Are they really drinking or are they drinking apple juice and water?] I was always under the impression that they are drinking real alcohol because the purpose of them being there is to tell us about the food and drink of certain places. It's the same with reality shows correct?
How can I find all the places that Food Network and Travel Channel have been to in my city? I live in Miami and I was wondering if there's anyway I can find a list or something of that sort where I can find all the restaurants that the Food Network and/or Travel Channel have been to in my area, either Miami or Ft. Lauderdale. I would like to visit some of those small home cooking style restaurants that the Food Network always shows all over the country, whether its dessert or bbq or pizza or what have you. Is there a website that provides a list of places they've been to in my area so that I can visit them as well? Thank in advanced to any response I get.
I saw this recipe on the Anne Burrell TV show on the food network channel. I learned about this? technique that has aroused my curiosity. Can anyone enlighten me as to what this technique is? The short ribs are braised and a number of fresh vegetables are pureed in a food processor and then added to the pot to brown and then scrape up, allowed to brown again, and scrape up, and finally the whole dish braises for 3 hours. I would like to try this dish but want to do a little more research before I begin. Here's the recipe I'm referring to... http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/anne-burrell/braised-short-ribs-recipe/index.html Hoping to hear from some professionals... maybe... The puree process of the vegetables is what intrigues me. Does this give extra rich flavor to the end process? Where can I find more recipes like this? Or get more insight to using a process like this? Any foodie blogs or sites??
What is your truly opinion on the Chopped show on the Food Network Channel wasn't that a BIG ripe off? As a reminder that would be the show for tonight, 10/27/2009 time it came on was 10:00 P.M. With the two male cooks at the end of the desert, the one cook could not poll it off with not even any thing just a garnish on his plate. Then there is the other cook he finished his and only problem the judges had with his, was not sweet enough and the Judges Chopped him and let the other cook win. That there is like when I played Uno with my 5 year old Niece and let her win because at that age she is to young to really know how to win the proper way and I only wanted her to feel good for her self. That should be like the same way for the winning cook just the judge’s felt sorry for him. Another thing is remember the way he presented his self in the pre, show saying the way he and his girlfriend had to open their restaurant.
Food Network Channel...Who is your favorite chef and why? I like most of the chefs featured on the show but Paula Deen of "Paula's Home Cooking" is my favorite. She genuinely loves to cook and has wonderful recipes. The thing that makes her show so warm and friendly is that you feel sincerely invited into her home for southern hospitality. I love that southern accent and her giggle is so cute. Her eyes light up when she tastes her dish, knowing her guests will be pleased! I love her excitement. Her sons have a show, "Road Tasted," that is just as fun!
Why aren't there any Black chefs on the food network channel? I've just paid attention to that. I love the food network, but they seem a little racist because of their lack of black chefs. Also, on the show "The Next Food Network Star" on the first two episodes the Black (mixed perhaps) aspiring chefs were sent packing. What's up with that?
food channel network.? supposedly tomorrow [monday 9-10] rachel ray is having the hsm2 cast on her show. what time is it goin to be on and on 54 right? I AM living in new york so i just need to knoe what time! and if im write please help ill mean so much!
Do chefs on cooking shows throw the food away after the show? I'm very curious about this. I don't know if there is a positive way of knowing for sure since we aren't in the studio but its become something that I'm wondering about more and more. I love to watch Food Network cooking shows (not reality shows) and Cooking Channel shows. But what do they (chefs or staff members) do with the food after they cook it? Rachel Ray always says something like "...and I'm cooking for 4 today" so maybe she isn't throwing the cooked food away. She seems to really be feeding people. Sandra Lee comes from a meager past and its hard to think she's throwing the food away in the end. Jaime Oliver always cooks at least the last meal for his gardener. I think its completely awful to waste food of any kind. You can always use left-overs for something. Even scraps can be used for making broths, soups, garnishes, etc. I guess I'm really only asking what your opinions are since we can never really know for sure. What do you think?
Does the Food Network need more ethnic dishes in their shows? Am I the only one who can't seem to find enough diversity on this channel? I mean, it's all about food, and yet whenever I turn on my TV, I only see American, French, or Italian. I love those foods, but what about Mexican or Indian? I like a little spice in my diet...
Why are there no Asian Chefs on the Food network channel? I know there's Morimoto on Iron Chef America but I'm talking about a show where the host is Asian like Ming Tsai's old show "East Meets West", I miss that show so much. There are plenty of Caucasian chefs, where's my Asian chefs? Do you think they are racist? Think about it? They have Bobby Flay cooking mexican food, Where are the Mexican chef? They have white guys cooking Asian food (and they aren't even doing them right). I saw an episode of Emeril (trying) cooking asian dishes (horrible), it didn't even look appetizing. I know he's a World class chef but stick with the Italian stuff, okay? Ming Tsai show had good ratings too so I don't understand. Yan can cook, you need to come back too!!! I miss my stir fried foods and my wok looks lonely..... Marky mark and the Funky bunch, I know his style is "southwestern" but he's had shows where his signature dishes are Mexican, I know the difference.
When I watch the food channel I smell the food cooking? Sometimes when I watch tv like the food network and they're cooking sometimes I get a whiff of the food. Once I was watching Rachel ray's show and she was cooking something and said "I wish there was smell-o-vision" and I suddenly got a whiff of the food she was cooking. Why does this happen to me? Also if I think about about something I smell it like it's there with me. Why does this happen?
What's your favorite Food Network cooking show.? I love the Food Network. I enjoy most of the cooking shows and most of the personalities of the chefs. I was wondering if there is a most popular cooking show on that channel. My favorite is Paula Dean, 30 Minute Meals and Semi-homemade. I'd like to know yours. Thanks I forgot about Alton Brown. "Good Eats" is so much fun to watch and informative too. I learn a lot about food. I also enjoy learning the life of the personalities. Paula Deen and Sandra Lee worked through tough times and became such wonderful people. I love the comments they are great!!! keep them coming! Thanks!
Cooking channels other than the food network? I have comcast, and was wondering if there are any channels besides the food network that actually cook food. The food network now is becoming more like a regular tv show. I want to actually learn how to cook food and not watch competitions actually teach you new recipes.
Does Food-Network condone obesity? I am a HUGE foodnetwork fan, but it seems Rachael-Ray is the only person who comments when she is substituting an ingredient to be more figure-friendly. Foodnetwork has about 5 main stars, in my opinion Bobby Flay Emeril Lagasse Paula Deen Mario Batali Rachael Ray Of these, only R.R. and B.F. are not overweight. I am actually a 300 pound individual and I wish to make a senseless opinion that I feel food-network-channel should advocate about once per episode, a reference to an FDA guideline--such as "well this meal we fixed can replace lunch and dinner" through an INDIRECT REFERENCE. I wish each show would at least make ONE MENTION to caloric responsibility. I actually LOVE emeril's indirect method of humor, in saying "hey, we're all friends here" when he talks about a high-calorie dish. I would love for foodnetwork to at least make a decent effort to subconsciously remind us that food relates to health, and food responsibility is part of health responsibility.
Why is Emeril no longer on FOOD NETWORK? I have seen him on the Cooking Channel doing some show called Emeril Green where he cooks inside of a WHOLE FOODS Market with people who need help making a certain dish. Just curious as to why he left because the FOOD NETWORK is definitely not the same without him.
What's the name of this Food Network show? I haven't had this channel in months, but I'm trying to remember the name of a show and am having trouble finding it. It was hosted by this guy who also had a show on Animal Planet. He would travel to different countries trying exotic foods from restaurants to small villages. I think it was called "___ Cuisine"... I think. Giving me the website for Food Network does nothing. I already looked and can't find it. If you're going to reply with an "answer" then give me an answer.
What do you think about Rachael Ray's voice? She claims that her voice is raspy because of the show, but she used to have 2 different shows on the Food Network channel (30 Minute Meals, and $40 a day) and her voice was never like that. Who agrees?
Food Network Fans: What would be in the ultimate "Chopped" basket? (for Christmas)? If you haven't seen Chopped on the Food Network Channel and/or you don't like to cook, this question isn't for you. My husband is a great cook and loves the show Chopped and I'm thinking about coming up with my own basket to give him for Christmas. Of course that means items not needing refrigeration would be best. Also they have to last at least a week to give me enough time to get it, give it, and then allow him to use it before it passes it's prime. I'm toying with adding Saffron since he's never used it and mentioned that he wants to, but beyond that I'm stuck for ideas. TIA! :)
What percentage of illegal immigrants work in the food industry? My passion in life is the food industry, and watch programs on History Channel, Food Network, PBS, that show the lifestyle and work practices of the food industry. I have noticed an odd trend, though. Most food processors, fast food servers, and harvesters shown in these programs are of Latino descent. I recently read several articles about some meat processors all over the country that have been 'raided' by ICE. One here locally had 400 illegals in a giant facility of 1200 employees. Is there a powerful lobby in washington that is unduly influencing congress for it's own needs?
I have a question about chef Anthony Bourdain and his show on the Travel Channel. Can you help? My husband and I recently started watching his show and he refers to his two years with the Food Network quite a lot, but not in a nice way. I don't remember him on Food Network. What show did he have, if any? Also, he makes fun of Rachael Ray a lot, too. Anyone know the story behind that, or is he just making fun of her not so good cooking? One time he found out she only tips 10% from a waitress at a restaurant he dined at shortly after she did. Thanks! As Wise Guy said.. I do agree he has a bad mouth. I think this is the only food/travel show that has warnings at the beginning. One person on a recent show refused to hang out with him anymore because of his behavior. There is no excuse for rudeness, even if it does get you ratings. Come on Anthony, you can do better!
Why is Food Network all about personality than food? they needs more programs about simple cooking and techniques stuff that julia child and everyone else like her brought to television -_- im just so sick of the programs on food network. it's all about personality. all i want is to pick up some cooking techniques since im 18 years old trying transition into becoming more responsible and become better at cooking ): sigh at least cooking channel has some hope :P im not much of a person who watches food shows a lot but i watch them occasionally to pick up some techniques when im bored. but i can never retain them. all i remember are their annoying cliche personalities. im sick of hearing their life stories -_-. its sad cause the channel stressed on personalities. if you watch an episode or two of the next food network star, then you'd know probably the only interesting shows around are unwrapped (is that still on ;_;?) and maybe iron chef (when moriomoto is cooking) sigh~ sorry about the rant but this question is pretty much asking, do you guys agree? kind of a pointless question but i'm bored haha
Why don't network show give Reality TV Shows to Black people who are not already famous? I noticed that Networks like, History CH, Discovery CH, A&E and SY-FI do not give blacks Reality Shows as they do for whites who are not considered famous prior to shows being launched. Examples: Dog, All-Ghost Hunters Shows, American Pickers, Pawn Shop and the list goes on. However they only give show to blacks that are famous prior to show being launched. Example: The TO show, Mike Tyson, James Bubba Stewart and so on. Why is this? Does anyone think that American Networks are being racist by not offering unknown black talent to become famous in the Reality Show world as they clearly do for whites?

I know I may be a nerd but...I love the Food Network? I absolutely drop everything to watch these shows- Emeril Live Good Eats Diners Drive Ins and Dives (absolute favorite) Unwrapped Food Network is the best channel ever and I learn so much! What are your favorite shows from this amazing channel, or any thoughts? Oh and 40 dollars a day, but I don't catch that one a lot.
Who here thinkins that Giada De Laurnentis on the Food Network is showing a lot of cleavage on purpose? I am not a prude or anything, I started getting hooked with the Food Network since my wife is a Chef. I seem to notice on this show called "Everyday Italian" and the host Giada De Laurentis likes to wear an outfit that reaveals a lot of cleavage. There are also a lot of female Chefs on that Channel that doesn't wear a lot of revealing clothes such as Rachel Ray, Sandra Lee and even the big chested Nigella Lawson does not even wear that much revealing outfit. I have nothing against Giada or her crew its just the fact that she seems to emphasize on her cleavage for more ratings in her show. Am I the only one noticing it?
Why do they always add salt&pepper on cooking shows? I've noticed on Food Network channel, the cooks always need to add salt&pepper. When I cook, I just add salt but no pepper, is pepper mandatory to bring out the salt flavor? The thing is, even when they add mayonnaise and other sauces, they still need to add salt...isn't their enough salt in the sauces to begin with? What's wrong with these cooks?
Is it possible to find out what channels air what commercials? There are some movie trailers that I hate, and change the channel as soon as I realize they're on. I noticed that some channels (like Food Network) don't play those trailers, and other channels (like SciFi) play them very often. Is there a way to find out which channels show which commercials/trailers?
Who is your favorite Food Network host? For other Food Network enthusiasts like myself, what chef/host on the channel is your favorite to watch, and why? My favorite is Alton Brown... I love his sense of humor and the way he incorporates science into his show Good Eats.
Do you know the name of the company or web address? I saw this on the food network channel some months back. It showed a chocolate pastry chef making these large chocolate eggs. He then put the eggs in the sun until they slighly started melting, creating a hole in the top of the egg. Do you know the name of the chef and/or his company's name? I've been searching on the internet and cannot find anything. Thanks for your help
What is your favorite TV show? One of my favorite TV shows in the Discovery Channel is Deadliest Catch. I can't help seeing all the Alaskan king crabs as they look like a feast. I like to watch shows on the History Channel. And all shows on Food Network.
What is your truly opinion on the Chopped show on the Food Network Channel wasn't that a BIG ripe off? As a reminder that would be the show for tonight, 10/27/2009 time it came on was 10:00 P.M. With the two male cooks at the end of the desert, the one cook could not poll it off with not even any thing just a garnish on his plate.

That there is like when I played Uno with my 5 year old Niece and let her win because at that age she is to young to really know how to win the proper way and I only wanted her to feel good for her self. That should be like the same way for the winning cook just the judge’s felt sorry for him. Another thing is remember the way he presented his self in the pre, show saying the way he and his girlfriend had to open their restaurant.
"I would like to know how some of these people get to air a show on "The Food Network?"? The Neelys.. for example.. own their own family buisness. If I am correct it was Paula Deen who discovered their tallent. her sons.. who brought them home to meet her. I then soon after saw the Neelys on Paulas Party Show.. cooking something up. Thereafter ... they had their own show. I was just curious.. because , minus the most popular Chefs and Cooks.. on that show.. Some just show up and are not in those Food Network Competions to get their own show. I thought mabe they some how fund the show themself. Inna Gardner.. had a food buisness of her own for twenty years.. now has a show. Most work from home. "My Dream" Rachel Ray did not attend culinary school, and the Biography of her on TV.. said she called up some cook book author woman and begged her to help her put hers together. That was before she was signed up on the show. She also met someone who hooked her up on a small local area Channel to cook and the rest was history. I suppose persistance helps.
Recipe help!? I'm going to make a pot roast recipe and it calls for red wine. I am not old enough to purchase red wine. I would like to know is there a subsitute for red wine that i used in this recipe? Here is the recipe its by "How to boil water" Tyler Florence show on the food network channel: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_31861,00.html Another question: Why is the "dutch oven" called that? Is it better to use? Because I have been seeing a lot of recipes use a dutch oven. I even saw this show a year or so ago ,where this man from one of the food network's show would cook his food outside like he was camping. One of the recipes was some type of chocolate cake he cooked in a "dutch oven" over a camp fire. I wish I could find his show again. It was so cool. He cooked some of everything on that camp fire! Thank you.
Is the Food Network unwittingly creating "triggers" to drink when their chefs include cocktail preparations? If you've ever watched the Food Network, you know it can make you really hungry. I think it's a great channel and I've learned a lot from it. But for a good number of their chefs, their 30 minute program is usually topped off with the presentation of a specialty cocktail at the end. And unlike a lot of advertisements where it is against the rules to show someone actually imbibing that beer, the Food Network Chefs almost ALWAYS take a sip for the cameras and go, "UMMMMMM...MMMMM!!! Boy, is THAT GOOD!" ....just the way they do with all the delicious looking food they prepare and taste. And with a 30 minute show format, that's TWICE AN HOUR, folks! I've not tracked how soon in the day they start serving "visual cocktails" to the TV audience, but I can tell you they seem to come almost every hour in the afternoon and evening. And just as much as I'd love to run emulate their libation recipe immediately, that's probably not the best thing to do when you still have work to complete. And for those who are struggling with any alcohol issues, I guess they may just have to tune out of the Food Network because of these "triggers", correct? So might the Food Network be contributing to the delinquency of a portion of America by tantilizing viewers with videos of chefs drinking twice an hour? This is the FOOD Network, right? And not the BARTENDER'S Network? I'm just wondering if the Food Network directors are instructing the chefs to include libations in their shows (because that generates more viewers) or whether all these chefs just really like to drink and party. Yes, yes, yes...we should all show self-restraint -- don't preach, please. This is just a question if the Food Network is making it harder to practice moderation when everything they demonstrate (including the drinks) LOOK SO DAMN GOOD -- ALL DAY LONG!
What's the food show called? I know they show it on either BBC home and health or this other channel. for those living in america, probably the food network too. it's this fat guy who can eat almost anything, i guess. the commercials are him eating these huge sandwiches and fries and burgers. it's name is something like 'the human challenge' or the food challenge or something. i dont think its the andrew guy though. :\
Which Food Channel expert...? ...have you learned the most from if any? Have they improved your cooking skills and the understanding of food management and safety? And what is your favorite show on tthat network?
Is it safe to eat fire ants if they've been properly cooked? Just curious if anyone knows anything about cooking fire ants and eating them. I’ve seen shows on the food network and the travel channel that demonstrated cultures that eat ants that are native to their region and supposedly they are quite tasty. Is there anything toxic about the fire ants that are native to central Texas? Thanks.
Do you guys think that the Travel Channel is too National Geographic oriented? I have been noticing that they have been making shows revolving tribes and their lifestyle habits and a show about tresure hunting and in my opinion it seems like something you would see in the National Geographic and Discovery channel. The Travel channel i believe needs to focus on what people watch the channel for and that is travel destinations. The only ones who seem to stay with the program is Samantha Brown, Anthony Bourdain, that new show Bridget's sexiest beaches might do well Andrew Zimmerman (should be on National Geographic and that new show Man vs Food should be on Food Network and world Poker Tour should be on ESPN or Game Show channel. Do you guys feel the same way and should the Travel Channel should focus more on real traveling shows that gives you information.
What are the worst cable channels on TV? Here is my opinion: The History Channel- Watered down, unacademic shows, an obsession with war that isn't even very in-depth and now the bizarre foray into reality shows. Bravo- A voyeur channel that focuses on the super-rich. The reality shows have contracts that are outright criminal...$10,000 for AN ENTIRE SEASON, plus, you have to pay 10% of anything you make outside of the show to Bravo! Food Network- Rumored to be very cliquey and obsessed with personality, and it shows.
I am glad Amy is the next food network star, couldn't stand Rory!? Amy has a nice and pleasant face to watch, not talking about beauty but she just looks genuine. Rory looks fake to me, i couldn't stand her fake smile when Colombe kept the oven open at the stadium challenge and Rory was giving her a bad look behind her back and when Colombe looked back Rory gave her a fake smile. ooo i hate people like that and i am soooo happy i won't see her in a show at my favorite channel. I feel sorry for Jag, he shouldn't have lied because he could have still won without any military or culinary background. Something else i wanna add, I like Bobby Flay's food but i think he is soooooo snobish. Emeril is waaaaaaaaaaay more famous and better then him and is very modest. so please share your opinions with me. thank you I just want to add some details. I really don't care for Guy especially the way he says diners drive ins and diiives, don't like his hair, that look is for teenagers not men his age. I think Jag is better than him lol
Candy Pie Wafers? HELP!!!? There was a show on the Food Network channel about a candy convention in either 2006 or 2007 and they mentioned a pie-flavored set of disc-shaped wafers. Unfortunately I'm unable to find the website again for the candy site but I think it was called 'Sweet' something? PLEASE HELP!! THANKS! Also, the company made Peach Pie-flavored wafer-discs, too. You could purchase an assortment of all the pie flavors for about $20-30 and it's fairly cheap otherwise. Any ideas? PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks for writing. Nope, NOT smoothie wafers from NECCO, they're sort of like satellite wafers (usually a melt-in-your-mouth satellite-shaped wafer with stuff in the middle) but with pie-flavored fillings. Still no luck finding anything =( Thanks though...
Do you know the name of this show? The show air on the Food Network Or Food Channel it was about how things are made. For instance they would visit General Mill and show how cereal is made. I think it was call that's a wrap or something it air a few years back. Maybe 2000 to 2004.

when did food network become political.? Tonight they are having that nasty America hating obama woman on the paula dean show, this really shouldn't suprise me as she has also had the worst president ever on, jimmy carter. I used to watch food network for entertainment, if I wanted leftist politics I would turn on CNN. Now I have placed a parental block on that channel because I do not want my children exposed to that kind of person, and will have to call the local cable company to drop that network. Yes my kids really do watch food network, they really loved emeril, but now he is on fine living network, they also like anything with Alton Brown especially Iron Chef
what is the name of this cooking show? I'm not sure if it is on the food network or another channel. There is a show where a guy goes into the grocery store looking for unsuspecting people just minding their own business. He goes up to them and tells them that he will cook dinner for them and a guest. I can't seem to remember the name of the show. Does anyone know it?
Ice cream in st louis? I was watching a show on food network or travel channel and it showed a ice cream place in st louis like a dairy queen but a local place but I didn't catch the name any body know?
How do I convince my parents to get cable? I grew up without cable for sooo long. them i saw some good stuff on cable like Spongebob, Kim possible, and those good shows on Discovery Channel and even the Food Network. Right now we have a system where we plug the cable that is supposed to be in the cable box directly to the TV and whatever channels we get, we get. Now channels come and go like crazy. I saw Nickelodeon, Discovery channel, Even Disney channel and liked them. I wanted to watch the Kim possible series on Disney Channel and also HSM. Now that the KP series is going to end with a marathon, i want to be able to watch some of it along with the hour long series finale Graduation. I would just collapse if I don't see it as it airs. Also, cable isn't that expensive. How would I convince them to get cable not just for me but for all of us in the house?
How do i add channels on my nfusion?

Interstate Bar-B-Q - Memphis, TN? I've heard so much about this restaurant, from the travel channel, and every show on food network, and all the people on food network talk about this place. Now there getting there on show on Food Network. I want to eat, it looks so good, I was just wondering is all the hype about this place true, What part of Memphis is this located in, and how safe is the area. Thanks.

Is the Biggest Loser on another station besides NBC? I know the Biggest Loser is on Wed nights on NBC, but does another channel re-show the episodes (Discovery? Food Network?). I cannot find anything on on the net and I need to catch up on the last 2 episodes. Thanks!!
Who thinks the 18-24 age group needs their own channel? I'm 19 and am frustrated with the programming options for my age group. I usually watch TV Land or something like HGTV or Food Network. When you think about it my age group doesn't really have a channel that caters to us. I know there's MTV, but let's face it that channel just plays terrible reality shows that portray us like mindles idots. Eg. Laguna Beach, Road Rules, and Next. I really feel that this age group needs a channel just for us. I hate how they just throw us into the adult age group and expect us to relate to shows about marriage and family. What we need is something we can relate to! Who's with me? I see what some of you mean about this age group doing different things in their lives. That's why this channel could be so unique. I could feature shows that cater to everyone. Some about students in college, some about people that are married with children, and others kind of inbetween. Everyone could find something they like.
educuational t.v. station? Does anyone see a need for an educational t.v. station? I was thinking something like the food network channel. I know we have the cartoon network & Nick, but I would like to see shows which promote reading and hands on activities. What do you think?
How do I resolve a mulitple recording conflict on my DVR when the 2nd recording isn't really recording? I've had my HD DVR for a few months and recently (say less than a week) it had decided to record The Food Network 24/7. The weird thing is while I did have a show recording on that channel, I've since deleted that taping and have the same problem. Even wierder is that the 24/7 recordings are not saved. The TV shows that TFN is recording, but the record light on the box is off, as well as it doesn't allow any other channel to be watched if something else is recording (as it would be if I were recording (and saving) two shows. Any ideas?
american chopped suey recipe? I was watching the food network channel and this woman with dark brown, maybe black hair was making american chopped suey. It looked amazing. She added tons of mozzarella cheese. My question is does anyone have the recipe or the name of the tv show and the episode #? Thank You I was watching the food network channel and this woman with dark brown, maybe black hair was making american chopped suey. It looked amazing. She added tons of mozzarella cheese.

do u know ways to annoy people ? i can help u with this...lol Sing the Batman theme incessantly. Ask people what gender they are. Practice making fax and modem noises. Learn Morse code, and have conversations with friends in public consisting entirely of "Beeeep Bip Bip Beeeep Bip..." If you have a glass, tap on it occasionally with your pen while talking to others. Speak only in a "robot" voice. Blow your nose when some one is eating. Start each meal by conspicuously licking all your food, and announce that this is so no one will "eat away your food " ! Stomp on little plastic ketchup packets. Name your dog "Dog." Claim that you must always wear a bicycle helmet as part of your "astronaut training." Declare your apartment an independent nation, and sue your neighbors upstairs for "violating your airspace." Highlight irrelevant information in scientific papers and "cc:" them to your boss. Invent nonsense computer jargon in conversations, and see if people play along to avoid the appearance of ignorance. Erect an elaborate network of ropes in your backyard, and tell the neighbors you are a "spider person." Finish all your sentences with the words "in accordance with prophesy." Disassemble your pen and "accidentally" flip the ink cartridge across the room. Holler random numbers while someone is counting. Adjust the tint on your TV so that all the people are green, and insist to others that you "like it that way." Drum on every available surface. Staple papers in the middle of the page. Write the surprise ending to a novel on its first page. Set alarms for random times. Change channels five minutes before the end of every show. ONLY TYPE IN UPPERCASE. only type in lowercase. dont use any punctuation either Repeat everything someone says, as a question. Repeat the following conversation a dozen times: "Do you hear that?"

Wear a LOT of cologne. Go to a poetry recital and ask why each poem doesn't rhyme. Ask your co-workers mysterious questions, and then scribble their answers in a notebook. Mutter something about "psychological profiles." Stare at static on the TV and claim you can see a "magic picture." Select the same song on the jukebox fifty times. Never make eye contact. Never break eye contact. Make appointments for the 31st of September. Invite lots of people to other people's parties.

What was the TV show with 2 ladies and"the magic of television"? I'm trying to find the name of an old cooking show. It starred 2 women, who had both lost a lot of weight. One of them would cook a traditional (high fat/ calorie) dish, while the second would change it to make it healthier. They would talk about the "magic of television", how when they put their prepared dish in the oven, they'd pull another finished one out, and would never turn their backs to the camera (even walking sideways or hiding their rear with an umbrella). I don't remember the channel it was on (probably not food network), and I think one of the ladies was either Christine or Christina. Does anyone remember the show? I know the show you're talking about, but it's not 2 fat ladies. Thanks for answering!!

What are the 5 worst Television networks? I want to know what you think are the 5 worst channels. You can leave them in any order. My list would be: Food Network, HGTV, Scifi, The stupid Spanish channels, and Versus ( I hate game shows).
How should true patriots reclaim the media from Republican/Fascist interests? http://www.nowfoundation.org/issues/communications/tv/mediacontrol.html http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=fascism+in+america&btnG=Search ) Powerful and Continuing Nationalism: Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. September 11 Freedom Walk New Majority Leader: Iraq War “May Be The Greatest Gift That We Give” Our Grandchildren Headstones of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are inscribed with the Pentagons war-marketing slogans White House and the RNC are going to make a habit of using uniformed military personnel as props at Republican political rallies, despite the fact that it is a plain violation of military regulations banning politicization of the armed forces. "You must glorify war in order to get the public to accept the fact that your going to send their sons and daughters to die." The inside story of the cozy relationship between big box office American war movies and the Pentagon More... 2.) Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights: Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. Bush threatens to veto $442b defense bill if Congress investigates detainee abuses. Guantanamo Judge: “I don’t care about international law. I don’t want to hear the words ‘international law’ again. We are not concerned with international law.” Rumsfeld to approve new guidelines that will formalize the administration's policy of imprisoning without the protections of the Geneva Conventions and enable the Pentagon to legally hold "ghost detainees," US 'preparing to detain terror suspects for life without trial' U.S. oks evidence gained through torture July 1, 2003: U.S. Suspends Military Aid to Nearly 50 Countries: because they have supported the International Criminal Court and failed to exempt Americans from possible prosecution. US has at least 9000 prisoners in secret detention More... 3.) Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause: The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. Congressman: Muslims 'enemy amongst us' SB 24, Ohio law to muzzle "liberals" World history textbook used by seventh-graders at Scottsdale’s Mohave Middle School was pulled from classrooms mid-semester amid growing right criticism of the book’s unbiased portrayal of Islam Rallies planned against 'Islamofacism': Event to 'unify all Americans behind common goal' More... 4.) Supremacy of the Military: Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. If you haven't seen the Oreo flash animation yet, see it here Bush’s Domestic Program Hit List Bush slashes domestic programs, boosts defense. Arlen Spector calls it "scandalous" Funding for job training, rural health care, low-income schools and help for people lacking health insurance would face big cuts under a bill passed Friday by the House Pentagon to spend 75 billion for three new brigades Three cable channels now feed news, information and entertainment about the armed services into millions of living rooms 24 hours a day, seven days a week: The Military Channel, the Military History Channel and the Pentagon Channel. More... 5.) Rampant Sexism: The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy. It's legal again, to fire gov't workers for being gay Bush calls for Constitutional ban on same-sex marriages Bush refuses to sign U.N proposal on women's "sexual" rights W. David Hager chairman of the FDA's Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee does not prescribe contraceptives for single women, does not do abortions, will not prescribe RU-486 and will not insert IUDs. The State Department has awarded an explicitly anti-feminist U.S. group part of a US$10 million grant to train Iraqi women in political participation and democracy. More... 6.) Controlled Mass Media: Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. FBI Acknowledges: Journalists Phone Records are Fair Game Report shows U.S. government has been engaged in illegal propaganda aimed at its own citizens and the story gets only 41 mentions in the media Free Press details recent governmental propaganda efforts, from faux-correspondent Jeff Gannon to paid-off pundit Armstrong Williams, and from the demise of FOIA to video news releases passed off as news. also... See a Whitehouse fake news release here (opens realplayer) US seizes webservers from independent media sites Bush's war on information: US editors forbidden to publish certain foreign writers More... 7.) Obsession with National Security: Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses Bush Aides ADMIT 'stoking fear' for political gain: Bush adviser said the president hopes to change the dynamics of the race. The strategy is aimed at stoking public fears about terrorism, raising new concerns about Kerry's ability to protect Americans and reinforcing Bush's image as the steady anti-terrorism candidate, aides said. The Bush administration periodically put the USA on high alert for terrorist attacks even though then-Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge argued there was only flimsy evidence to justify raising the threat level. Keith Olbermann: "The Nexus of Politics and Terror." Cheney warns that if Kerry is elected, the USA will suffer a "devastating attack" GOP convention in a nutshell (quicktime) Rove: GOP to Use Terror As Campaign Issue in 2006 More... 8.) Religion and Government are Intertwined: Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. Jerry Falwell cleared of charges that he broke federal election law by urging followers to vote for Bush NC congressman proposes law making it ok to preach politics from the pulpit Texas Governor Mobilizes Evangelicals Family research council: Justice Sunday Thou shalt be like Bush: What makes this recently established, right-wing Christian college unique are the increasingly close - critics say alarmingly close - links it has with the Bush administration and the Republican establishment. Park Service Continues to Push Creationist Theory at Grand Canyon and other nat'l parks More... 9.) Corporate Power is Protected: The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. The K Street Project is a project by the Republican party to pressure Washington lobbying firms to hire Republicans in top positions, and to reward loyal GOP lobbyists with access to influential officials. It was launched in 1995, by Republican strategist Grover Norquist and House majority leader Tom DeLay. American Conservative Magazine: One U.S. contractor received $2 million in a duffel bag... and a U.S. official was given $7 million in cash in the waning days of the CPA and told to spend it “before the Iraqis take over.” There are 6 Congressional Committees investigating the Oil-for-Food (UN) scandal, yet not a single Republican Committee Chairman will call a hearing to investigate the whereabouts of 9 billion dollars missing in Iraq Bush money network rooted in Florida, Texas: Since Mr. Bush took office in 2001, the federal government has awarded more than $3 billion in contracts to the President's elite 2004 Texas fund-raisers, their businesses, and lobbying clients More... 10.) Labor Power is Suppressed: Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. Labor Department warns unions against using their money politically President Bush Attacks Organized Labor: Bush attacked organized labor Saturday, issuing orders effectively reducing how much money unions can spend for political activities and opening up government contracts to non-union bidding. March 2001: President Bush signed his name to four executive orders on organized labor last month, including one that cuts the money unions will have for political campaign spending. Congress and the Department of Labor are trying to change the rules on overtime pay, eliminating the 40 hour work week, taking eligibility for overtime pay away from millions of workers, and replacing time and a half pay with comp days. More... 11.) Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts: Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts. Bush's new economic plan cuts funding for arts, education Artists from all over the world are being refused entry to the US on security grounds. A group of more than 60 top U.S. scientists, including 20 Nobel laureates and several science advisers to past Republican presidents, on Wednesday accused the Bush administration of manipulating and censoring science for political purposes Freedom of Repression: New ruling will allow censorship of campus publications More... 12.) Obsession with Crime and Punishment: Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations American Gestapo is here: "There is hereby created and established a permanent police force, to be known as the 'United States Secret Service Uniformed Division.'" America: secret jails, secret courts, secret arrests, and now secret laws Snitch-or-Go-to-Jail bill will make pretty much anything short of reporting on everyone you see for doing just about anything a jailable offense. With minimum sentences, up to and including life without parole. The problem with Gonzales is that he has been deeply involved in developing some of the most sweeping claims of near-dictatorial presidential power in our nation's history, allowing him to imprison and even (at least in theory) torture anyone in the world, at any time Police officers don't have to give a reason at the time they arrest someone, the U.S. Supreme Court said in a ruling that shields officers from false-arrest lawsuits. More... 13.) Rampant Cronyism and Corruption: Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. Bush Cronyism: Foxes Guarding the henhouse Making Sense of the Abramoff Scandal If Bush's pick is confirmed, that will mean the five top appointees at Justice have zero prosecutorial experience among them. Iran-Contra Felons Get Good Jobs from Bush Big Iraq Reconstruction Contracts Went To Big Donors Bush Wars -- Crooks Get Contracts : The main companies that were awarded billions of dollars worth of contracts in Iraq have paid more than $300 million in fines since 2000, to resolve allegations of fraud, bid rigging, delivery of faulty military equipment, and environmental damage. US Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) lost track of $9 billion "Contracting in the aftermath of the hurricanes has been marked by waste, corruption and cronyism" More... 14. Fraudulent Elections: Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections. Rolling Stone does some investigative and rather exhaustive digging into public documents and says we’re almost guaranteed the 2004 election results were massively rigged Powerful Government Accounting Office report confirms key 2004 stolen election findings Conyers hearing in which Clinton Curtis testifies that he was hired to create hackable voting machines (.wmv) The Republican Party has quietly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide private defense lawyers for a former Bush campaign official charged with conspiring to keep Democrats from voting in New Hampshire. The Conyers Report (.pdf) No explanation for the machines in Mahoning County that recorded Kerry votes for Bush, the improper purging in Cuyahoga County, the lock down in Warren County, the 99% voter turnout in Miami County, the machine tampering in Hocking County Less access than Kazakhstan. Fewer fail-safes than Venezuela. Not as simple Republic of Georgia. The 2004 Elections according to international observers. This picture is what stopped the ballot recounts in Florida shortly after it seemed that legitimate President Gore had a lead. The "citizens" started what was later called "the preppy riot". Screaming, yelling, pounding on the walls, these "outraged citizens" intimidated the polling officials to halt the court mandated recount. A closer look reveals who they really were. They were bussed and flown in at Republican lawmakers expense. Some even flew in on Tom Delay's private plane. More...

Fascism then. Fascism now? When people think of fascism, they imagine Rows of goose-stepping storm troopers and puffy-chested dictators. What they don't see is the economic and political process that leads to the nightmare. What is Fascism? Some General Ideological Features Hello. You are now living in a fascist empire Neo-fascism in America : Too many people believe fascism is only about goose-stepping, jack-booted Nazis. Too many people believe that American democracy is so strong that fascists could never take control of America. If you are sympathetic to those views, I invite you to consider the possibility that you are mistaken.

Does anyone know the recipe called harvest pumpkin bread stuffing? I am so trying to find out the recipe for this stuffing I had made last year. I had printed it out but had lost it. The recipe is from the food network channel and I can't seem to find it on there this year. I think it was Paula Deans show. The recipe includes pumkin bread, sunflower seeds, Apples, Chicken broth, celery and I'm not sure what else or how much. If anyone knows the recipe I would so appreciate you letting me know. I feel so bad cause I told my dad I would make it not knowing I wouldn't beable to find the recipe on the web site. Ever since I made it for last years thanks giving a x-mas he fell inlove with it. Now I don't think I'm gonna beable to make it unless I can find out the recipe. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
