The Problem with the Food Network

The Food Network is great, don't get me wrong. I love watching chefs making great meals at reasonable prices. Unfortunately TV wasn't designed for the Food Network. Someday when Smell-O-Vision comes into play, the Food Network will be great, right beside the flower network and the "name that smell" network. Until then, we are all forced to watch and hate the Food Network.

Let's be honest, you're all like me. You turn on the Food Network to watch one show, be it Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver you throw it on and start watching. But then you get hooked. The next show comes on and they're making Carrot Cake with Oreo layering. Then a show about cupcakes is on. You've officially fallen into the trap that the Food Network is. You can't watch one show on the Food Network, you have to watch multiple shows. This isn't a bad thing, you get some great ideas. But the Network loops itself after four to six hours. You can only stay trapped for so long, unless your mind pulls the "watch it later and get the recipe later" trick, then you're stuck forever.

Currently I'm watching "COOKIN FOR REAL." Listen to me when I say this DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW. This woman, is way too happy to be cooking. First off she is making the perfect meal for your guy or your chick, how do I know this, well she has told me three times. Next, she tries too hard to be your friend. I like that Jamie Oliver wants to make dinner for his friends, that's good. He's got life outside of cooking, but this woman has no one. She loves sage. I don't care, but I can't turn away. Damn you Food Network. Damn you.
