I agree with you five hundred percent! Meredith is a genuine teacher, who knows how to present food and cooking - both the process and the products. I try (because I love cooking shows) but usually fail, to watch DV. Too much hype, silliness and repetition of things that are of no interest, i.e. how many sold in this show. People are being sued today for s.h. over the same way he behaves with the vendors. Toally unnecessary, not "cute" in a middle aged man, and definitely not "Southern".

@Perkup, somehow you manage to turn a positive thread about Meredith's teaching skills into a rude rant against a host. It's too bad that you continually feel the need to grind this axe.

After the day's festivities, I was relaxing and channel surfing on the sofa trying hard not to fall into food coma; I caught a few of Meredith's cooking segments. She was really good. It reminded me of the cooking shows on PBS. I thought she would be really good on PBS, she'a a good teacher.

Meredith's job is not sell but show us how use the products that David V. is selling. In the kitchen with D is not a cooking show. His producer and director run the show and that's his job to talking about the colors and the availbility. It's about selling.

What I don't understand are the statements which I have bolded. Are you kidding me?

I liked seeing Meredith's cooking demonstrations, but like the parade, it was shown too much. For a company that likes it's hosts to present themselves as the viewer's friends, it would have been nice to have clips done by each of the hosts.
