RealityCheck June 27, 2018 Share June 27, 2018 (edited) 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.

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. Link to comment

RealityCheck July 10, 2018 Share July 10, 2018 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.

Yeah No September 30, 2018 Share September 30, 2018 On 9/19/2018 at 8:49 PM, WritinMan said: 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? "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: https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/alton-brown-interview-good-eats-reloaded Trailer: 1 Link to comment
ny1221 October 3, 2018 Share October 3, 2018 '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'.

ny1221 October 3, 2018 Share October 3, 2018 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'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS – September 24-30, 2018Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo 18-49 rating in parenthesis) 1--HALLOWEEN WARS (Season Premiere)---Sunday 9:00PM---1,977,000 (0.66) 2--ROAD TO HALLOWEEN WARS (Special)---Sunday 8:00PM---1,601,000 (0.48) 3--HALLOWEEN WARS: MORE SCARES (Special)---Sunday 10:00PM---1,195,000 (0.41) 4--HALLOWEEN BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Monday 9:00PM---1,114,000 (0.35) 5--PIONEER WOMAN---Saturday 10:00AM---1,025,000 (0.16) 6--THE KITCHEN---Saturday 11:00AM---1,014,000 (0.17) 7--TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Saturday 10:30AM---959,000 (0.15) 8--CHOPPED---Tuesday 9:00PM---855,000 (0.28) 9--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: FIRST ROUND REDEMPTION---Wednesday 9:00PM---793,000 (0.22) 10-DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES---Friday 9:00PM---787,000 (0.19) 11-CAJUN ACES (Finale)---Saturday 12:00PM---696,000 (0.12) 12-BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Thursday 10:00PM---682,000 (0.16) 13-BITE CLUB---Thursday 9:00PM---548,000 (0.13) 14-BIG FOOD TRUCK TIP---Wednesday 10:00PM---542,000 (0.16) 15-BIG FOOD TRUCK TIP 2---Wednesday 10:30PM---524,000 (0.15) Link to comment
