Oh my, that new time for Baked in Vermont may be the kiss of death. Too bad - way to ruin a good show FN. I'm beginning to think they hate quality programming.

I agree. That's an awful time for any show that's airing new episodes.

Ultimate Summer Cook-Off Four-Part Tournament Premieres Sunday, August 5th at 8pm ET/PT on Food Network

Quote

Host Eddie Jackson challenges the chefs over four episodes, as each competitor must take on two rounds of summer culinary heats that test their skill and creativity.  Southern and Hungry’s Damaris Phillips and Let’s Eat’s Jamika Pessoa are joined by a roster of special guest judges each week, including Comfort Food Tour’s Mark Anderson and Ryan Fey, BBQ blogger Susie Bulloch, Comfort Nation’s Lazarus Lynch, Genius Kitchen’s Courtney Rada and pitmaster Cameron Treu, to determine which chef exemplifies what summer is all about with their dishes and earns the $25,000 grand prize.

I'm glad FN graduated Eddie from hosting the Kids cooking shows to the adults.  I hope the show is a success so they will continue to use Eddie in the better shows.

Also looks like Grill Dad’s did a name change or just doing a brand new show altogether. Makes sense since they got away from the grill part. Also first synergy with new owners announced as Guy and probably bisexual Hunter will have a show during Shark Week. And yes I’m going to keep pointing out Hunter is bisexual until it’s proven otherwise, as a bisexual male myself my gaydar is on point.

Hey, Wedding Cake Championship (or whatever the @#$% it's called) is premiering soon. I am really looking forward to not watching it!

* if a show isn't on the list, none of its episodes ranked as one of Showbuzzdaily's top 50 rated shows, which included the 25-54 rating

NOTES: For the second quarter, 'Food Network Star's' ratings faded, practically tying with 'Worst Cooks Celebrity' and 'Spring Baking Championship' in viewers and losing to those shows in demos. In daytime, 'The Kitchen' overtook 'Pioneer Woman' in total and 25-54 viewers and almost tying in 18-49 (0.217 for PW and 0.216 for TK).

Thanks, FN, for screwing up the only charming, informative show that you had by moving BIV to the wee hours of Sunday. Oh and by the way, screw PW and TK too. This channel is laughable.

Yeah, it's really a shame how The Food Network has treated Baked in Vermont. But maybe they'll make more shows about crazy-ass cakes! Can never have too many of those!

New York Baker Ashley Foxen premieres in the eight-episode series Reality Cupcakes with a double episode beginning Monday, August 6th at 10pm ET/PT.
 

Quote

 

Joined by her mom Denise, brother Alex and sister Lindsay, her up-and-coming business has become the go-to spot for bite-sized edible art that can fool even the most discerning eye.

In the 10pm premiere episode, Ashley debuts her pastrami on rye cupcakes for a thrilled crowd at the 130th anniversary party for New York’s famous Katz’s Deli.  Immediately following at 10:30pm, the crowds at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! are stunned by a magician’s trick using a shrunken head cupcake.  Later, the gang brews up a latte made of cupcakes at a local coffee shop, complete with an edible cup.

Upcoming episodes feature a Shark Week-themed rooftop party with shark head cupcakes, peanut-butter and jelly school lunch cupcakes with edible milk cartons for a milestone performance of Broadway’s School of Rock and a special creation for Coney Island’s Mermaid Parade.

Girl Meets Farm is charming and informative and has a more broader concept. Season 2 saw BIV doing a lot more things that you would not expect from a baking show.

Having difficulty starting a topic for Ultimate Summer Cook-Off. Does anyone else want to discuss?

I have been wondering whether there was a place to talk about it.  I have been enjoying it.  Love Leann from Top Chef & Eddie, of course.
 

I was also looking for Ultimate Ninja Challenge, but haven't found it.  Is it something about "Ultimate" shows?

Here's the spot to request new forums - neither of those look to have existing forums. Be sure to check out the Guidelines!

CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN ON FOOD NETWORK
 

Quote

 

HALLOWEEN BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP returns on Monday, September 24th at 9pm ET/PT.  Comedian John Henson, along with judges Carla Hall, Lorraine Pascale, and Zac Young test the skills of eight talented bakers

Take a look back at some of the most outrageous moments and disgustingly-decadent desserts from seasons past on BEST OF HALLOWEEN BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP, premiering Monday, October 1st at 10pm ET/PT,

On Sunday, September 30th at 8pm ET/PT, viewers get a behind the scenes look at the weeks and months leading up to the best pumpkin carvers, cake and sugar artists entering the Halloween Wars kitchen, on ROAD TO HALLOWEEN WARS.

The new season of HALLOWEEN WARS premieres on Sunday, September 30th at 9pm ET/PT.  Each teams’ creations are judged by award-winning cake decorator Shinmin Li, horror film special effects master Todd Tucker, and a rotating panel of celebrity guest judges, including movie director Mick Garris, Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things), and more.

HALLOWEEN WARS: EVEN MORE MONSTROUS SCARES premieres Sunday, September 30th at 10pm ET/PT.

HAUNTED GINGERBREAD SHOWDOWN premieres Sunday, October 7th at 10pm ET/PT.  Over four episodes, host Sandra Lee pits nine of the best gingerbread artists in the country against each other to create spooky gingerbread masterpieces that embody the season.  Judges Jamika Pessoa and Jason Smith are joined by rotating judges, including the "Mistress of the Dark" herself, Elvira.

There are even more outlandish and spooky cakes on the hour-long special HALLOWEEN CAKE-OFF, premiering on Monday, October 8th at 10pm ET/PT.  Cake master Duff Goldman hosts this unconventional competition where four professional bakers must prove their expertise in the studio kitchen and within their own bakeries.

Trisha Yearwood is throwing her biggest party ever for her favorite holiday on TRISHA’S HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR, premiering Monday, October 15th at 8pm ET/PT.

Bobby and Giada (and Marcus!) have lent their voices to a new Scooby Do adventure:

That animated Giada is not nearly as scary looking as the real one.

Is anyone else excited about Good Eats: Reloaded coming in October on the Cooking Channel?  I loved that show!

Is Alton the host? If so, not interested. He’s over-exposed in my opinion. I used to love the show and him back in the day.

I loved the old Good Eats show, but enthusiasm for his new show will depend on which Alton we get. Will it be the fun, interesting Alton from the past? Or will it be the more recent, obnoxious judge Alton?

Ha! That gave me a good laugh! I've always thought that she doesn't so much smile as bare her teeth.

"Good Eats Reloaded"  will be hosted by Alton.  It will be a retrospective on his earlier "Good Eats" series, with his commentary on old episodes, and revamps of some of his old recipes.  Each episode will focus on an individual old episode and will include some of the old cast members.  Not sure how many episodes it will air or whether it will be ongoing.  My guess is that it will be more of the old Alton, not obnoxious judge Alton.  This is separate from his new series "Return of the Eats" which will premiere some time next year.

This interview with Alton from the Daily Meal on what the show is going to be like is very informative:

'Pioneer Woman' was the most watched FN original show for the 3rd quarter over 'The Kitchen' (PW had six original episodes more than the 3Q of last year). 'FN Star' was the most watched in terms of average viewers with a drop of 20 percent in viewers, 14% demo 18-49 and 11% demo 25-54 from last year's 3Q.

In daytime for the quarter, PW barely beats 'The Kitchen' in viewers but 'The Kitchen' is tops on demos. Both are beaten in 25-54 by 'Girl Meets Farm', which was one (maybe the only one) successful show in the quarter, which was highlighted by flops like 'Let's Eat', 'Comfort Food Tour', 'Ultimate Summer Cook-Off', 'Baked', 'Reality Cupcakes', 'Big Food Truck Tip' and huge disappointments like the revival of 'Iron Chef America' and 'Bite Club'.

It was all 'Halloween Wars' this past week with the main show premiering to almost 2 million viewers, so far the biggest audience on Food Network. 'Wars' was up 9% in viewers and 10% demo over last year (1.79 million/0.59 on Oct 1st, 2017) while the 'Road To' special was up 17% viewers & 9% demo (1.34 million/0.44) from 2017 with the 'More Scares' special doing well too. Hope this isn't the start of seasonal 'Wars' concepts a la 'Baking Championship' franchise, like pairing ice artists and ice cream artisans during the winter or revivals of 'Cupcake Wars' or 'Cake Wars'.

'Beat Bobby Flay' continues to get bad ratings from its 'Bite Club' lead-in, although BBF recovers somewhat. Same situation happens in daytime: Trisha drops from its PW lead and 'The Kitchen' recovers some of the audience. It's inexplicable why FN at the 11th hour and with the new schedule already on their site, decided to leave Trisha's originals on Saturdays, as well as leaving flops like 'Bite Club', 'Big Food Truck Tip' and 'Cajun Aces' put while getting rid quickly of other failures like 'Baked', 'Reality Cupcakes' or 'Let's Eat'.
