I really used to like Guy when he did Diners, Drive In's and Dives. Don't like him as much since fame went to his head.

I love all of the "Baking Championship" shows on Monday nights - Kids, Spring, Halloween, and Winter. Did I miss any? I also like the ones with the extravagent carving pumpkins (Halloween and Holiday Wars).
I kind of go back and forth with the other shows. Sometimes I get into a new show, but more often not (fun cookie ones around Christmas, for example). Used to watch Chopped, but it's been on a long time and it gets old. I do occassionally catch Chopped Desserts because it's on after the Baking Championship show (although I don't like the chef that's the host).
I tried to watch the new iteration of Food Network Challenge with Ian Ziering and that was a TRAINWRECK! I can't put my finger on what the difference was - I seem to recall the original was in front of an audience and the new version seemed very enclosed. Ian and the judges were often very casually dressed - now, I don't need people to be "dressed up", but they looked downright sloppy!! There's a line and they, IMO, crossed it. Was a disappointment.
p.s. I do kind of like Guy's Grocery Games, but I don't watch it every week.

I basically don't care for Robert Irvine. He was on Worst Cooks once and was a total jerk. I don't like how he treats people and I tried to watch Restaurant Impossible and turned the channel like five minutes into it because of his attitude.

I like the old days with Sarah Moulton and Emeril. I actually learned something then. Wonder what Sarah is up to now days?

@depglass I hear Sara Moulton on the weekly Milk Street Radio podcast with Christopher Kimball. She and Chris field questions from callers. You can also listen on public radio.

I agree! I still loved Chopped but all the other competition shows I just pass by.
Too much screaming and carrying on!
My least favorite is "Worst Cooks in America". Can't stand it.
I think these shows are geared to the "younger" generation who, for some reason, need constant stimulation to remain interested.

I can't stand those contests. My husband detests them. It's all sweat and speed. That SHOULD NOT be what being a chef is all about. I watch DD&D sometimes but nothing else on the Food Network.
