Ashforth January 31, 2019 Share January 31, 2019 I fairly frequently have Food Network on as kind of background noise, but there are 5 or 6 of the top 12 shows listed above that are just unwatchable to me, "The Kitchen" being THE WORST. Clearly, other people like them. I hate to admit it, but I have come to like GGG in all of its iterations. So I have no shade to throw. :-) 1 Link to comment

Maverick February 10, 2019 Share February 10, 2019 It's the same as FN with a predictable pattern at the beginning of each year. Every show does a brunch theme for New Year. Then we're inundated with the healthy shows. Next, it's Big Game food! (The polar opposite of all that healthy crap they were pushing on you last week). And finally, they try to outdo Willy Wonka with all chocolate, all the time. It's better than the Farmer's Almanac for tracking the progression of winter. 2 2 Link to comment

RealityCheck February 17, 2019 Share February 17, 2019 Family Food Showdown Hosted By Bertinelli Premieres Sunday, March 3rd at 8pm ET/PT Quote In each episode, two families are pitted against each other in three rounds of challenges designed to test their cooking skills, recipes and family dynamics. The teams must blow away a rotating panel of culinary experts including Kardea Brown, Clinton Kelly, Antonia Lofaso, Daphne Oz, Jamika Pessoa, Christian Petroni, Courtney Rada, Jake and Jazz Smollet, Tori Spelling, Jet Tila, Isaac Toups, Bryan and Michael Voltaggio, Molly Yeh and more. During the first round, the families must work together to create a dish that represents who they are as a family. [In] round two, family recipes and dynamics are put to the test when Valerie announces that each family must eliminate one member of their own team. In the last round of the contest, each team must eliminate someone from the other team, putting the weight of the competition on the shoulders of one final family member. Link to comment

ny1221 March 5, 2019 Share March 5, 2019 (edited) 'Worst Cooks in America's season 15 finale (1.22 million viewers/0.34 demo) was down 10 and 21 percent respectively from last season's finale (1.33 million viewers/0.41 demo on March 11th, 2018). Nonetheless, this season's average was up 11 percent in viewers and 19 percent in demo from last season. Meanwhile, the premiere of 'Family Food Showdown' (895,000 viewers/0.27 demo) was almost on par to the most recent Sunday 8pm original's premiere ('Ultimate Summer Cook-Off'': 923,000 viewers/0.25 demo on 8/5/2018; its 4 episode average was 787,000/0.22). Neither that show or 'Family Food' passed the million viewer mark others have reached on this timeslot like 'GGG' or 'FNS Comeback Kitchen'. Well see how 'FFS' performs but, in my opinion, FN need to put some hosts like Guy, Valerie, Duff, Giada and Tyler to rest from back-back-back shows and give a chance to other talent in formats other than cook-offs or bake-offs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (February 25-March 3, 2019)Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo 18-49 in parenthesis) 1--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Monday 9:00PM---1,339,000 (0.37) 2--THE KITCHEN (2 Hour Episode)---Saturday 11:00AM---1,311,000 (0.25) 3--PIONEER WOMAN---Saturday 10:00AM---1,242,000 (0.18) 4--WORST COOKS IN AMERICA (Season Finale)---Sunday 9:00PM---1,216,000 (0.34) 5--BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Thursday 10:00PM---1,004,000 (0.31) 6--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: EXTRA ICING---Monday 8:00PM---971,000 (0.30) 7--CHOPPED---Tuesday 9:00PM---919,000 (0.29) 8--GIADA ENTERTAINS---Sunday 11:30AM---910,000 (0.20) 9--DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES---Friday 9:00PM---898,000 (0.24) 10-FAMILY FOOD SHOWDOWN (Series Premiere)---Sunday 8:00PM---895,000 (0.27) 11-WINNER CAKE ALL---Monday 10:00PM---720,000 (0.20) 12-GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: BIG CHEESE---Wednesday 9:00PM---680,000 (0.28) Edited March 5, 2019 by ny1221 Link to comment

Jaded March 6, 2019 Share March 6, 2019 (edited) That Big Cheese episode of Guy's Grocery Games deserves to be in that bottom slot. I felt like I wasted an hour after watching it. I liked that they had two females who had been on the show going at it cooking wise and then at the end Eric Greenspan beat both of them as expected. The end really came off as pre-planned which it probably was. I'm not hate watching this show yet. I think the fact that there's still some people involved that I like has a bit to do with that.

Bobby and Sophie visit the ever-buzzing Chelsea Market for some tacos at Los Tacos No.1, while grabbing creamy Italian gelato for dessert at Bobby’s favorite, L’Arte del Gelato. Afterwards, Sophie takes Bobby to Greenpoint, Brooklyn, for her taco pick at hotspot Oxomoco. In another episode Bobby and Sophie start the day with a joy ride on bikes as they head to the Lower East Side for Sophie’s pick, Sweet Chick. After the meal, they check out Morgenstern’s gourmet ice cream parlor that Bobby’s been dying to try, before heading to Bobby’s pick of Blue Ribbon, where he spent a lot of time early in his career. Other episodes include stops at J.G. Melon for Bobby’s burger selection, Sophie’s taste for Detroit-style pizza at Emily, and a stroll to Korea Town for some dessert at Grace Street Café, followed by a steak dinner at Bobby’s old school pick, Wolfgang’s Steakhouse.

The second episode was slightly better (though slightly better than sucks is still not great) for some reason but the show is fundamentally unfair. The family that won two out of three rounds lost because the boys in last night's episode won the last round. And they telegraphed the win by breaking out a sob story about their dead father. Clinton deserves a better show than this. Hoping Spring Baking Championship works out for him (though what I really want is The Chew back). 3 Link to comment
ny1221 March 12, 2019 Share March 12, 2019 (edited) Last night's season 6's finale of 'Kids Baking Championship' (1.66 million viewers/0.43 demo 18-49) was up 11 percent in viewers and even in demo over S5's finale (1.50M/0.43 on 3/5/2018), This entire season was up 19% in viewers and 24% in demo from last year. On this past weeks ratings, there was a different result for Duff and Valerie's new shows. The season premiere of 'Buddy vs Duff' (1.60 million viewers/0.43 demo) was pretty impressive for a new Sunday 9PM show. I, for one, was not expecting that number, given the fact that all of Duff's post-'Ace of Cakes' shows other than baking championships flopped and Buddy's popularity on TLC has dropped a lot; even 'Cake Boss' reruns on FN tanked. Let's see how the show performs next week. Meanwhile, Valerie's 'Family Food Showdown' (produced by Guy Fieri) dropped 4 percent in viewers and a whopping 30 percent in demo from last week's premiere. Not even re-running the premiere after 'The Kitchen' helped it. The show, pretty boring in my opinion, was also repeated last night after 'KBC's finale, so will see if it helps next week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (March 4-10, 2019) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo 18-49 in parenthesis) 1--BUDDY VS DUFF (Series Premiere)---Sunday 9:00PM---1,597,000 (0.43) 2--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Monday 9:00PM---1,500,000 (0.38) 3--PIONEER WOMAN---Saturday 10:00AM---1,426,000 (0.29) 4--THE KITCHEN (2 Hour Episode)---Saturday 11:00AM---1,423,000 (0.27) 5--DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES---Friday 9:00PM---993,000 (0.26) 6--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: EXTRA ICING---Monday 8:00PM---952,000 (0.26) 7--CHOPPED---Tuesday 9:00PM---888,000 (0.29) 8--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: ALL-BUDGET WHEEL---Wednesday 9:00PM---877,000 (0.34) 9--FAMILY FOOD SHOWDOWN---Sunday 8:00PM---866,000 (0.19) 10-BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Thursday 10:00PM---819,000 (0.25) 11-GIADA ENTERTAINS---Sunday 11:30AM---818,000 (0.15) 12-WINNER CAKE ALL (Special Time)---Monday 11:00PM---571,000 (0.18) Edited March 12, 2019 by ny1221 Link to comment

ny1221 March 27, 2019 Share March 27, 2019 In ratings news for this past week, 'The Kitchen' had its lowest rated episode since 9/1/2018. The show didn't air Saturday on the East coast in still mysterious circumstances. This hasn't happened to any other show, as far as I know. GZ said on social media that it was a scheduling error...hard to believe, as they aired reruns of 'Beat Bobby Flay' instead of any other show of the Saturday morning lineup: PW, Trisha or Ranch Kitchen. I truly think that somebody in FN's management and some of their biggest personalities have something against 'The Kitchen', as in treating it as a joke and an hour air filler. Here are some examples: for months now, the face that appears on the bug at the bottom of the screen announcing the new episode, is Guy Fieri's, which is disrespectful to the co-hosts as Guy has many programs for his face to show up. Also, in more than 4 years on the air, many FN talents have never appear on the show, while frequently showing up on many other talk shows, like Ina, Giada, Guy and Tyler, plus others like Bobby, Rachael and Alton have only appeared once or twice; the show never had a primetime special and Jeff and Sunny haven't had a chance of hosting primetime shows, in Jeff's case since 2012. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINALS PROGRAMS (March 18-24, 2019) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo 18-49 in parenthesis) 1--BUDDY VS DUFF---Sunday 9:00PM---1,492,000 (0.43) 2--SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP (Season Premiere)---Monday 9:00PM---1,285,000 (0.36) 3--PIONEER WOMAN---Saturday 10:00AM---1,206,000 (0.20) 4--DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Friday 9:00PM---1,087,000 (0.29) 5--CHOPPED---Tuesday 9:00PM---1,017,000 (0.33) 6--THE KITCHEN---Saturday 11:00AM---918,000 (0.19) 7--BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Thursday 10:00PM---823,000 (0.27) 8--GUY’S RANCH KITCHEN---Saturday 12:30PM---819,000 (0.18) 9--GIADA ENTERTAINS---Sunday 11:30AM---769,000 (0.15) 10-FAMILY FOOD SHOWDOWN (New Day & Time)---Monday 10:00PM---685,000 (0.24) 11-GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: WILD & CRAZY BUDGET GAMES---Wednesday 9:00PM---683,000 (0.24) 1 Link to comment

I noticed it because of the big, half off clearance sale. signs surrounding them That's probably not a good thing. I bought some salad dressing earlier today. There's no shortage of dressings out there and the store I was in isn't that big. And, for me, it's hard to beat Ken's Steak House dressings. 1 Link to comment
ny1221 April 2, 2019 Share April 2, 2019 (edited) 'Buddy vs Duff' was FN's ratings winner for the 1st quarter of 2019. Although it has lost viewers every week, the drops aren't big, so it's still getting high numbers. Nonetheless, it lost the demo 18-49 ratings for the quarter to 'Worst Cooks' by a small margin. On the other side, the two losers for the quarter were 'Winner Cake All' with Giada DeLaurentiis and 'Family Food Showdown' with Duff's 'KBC' co-host Valerie Bertinelli. Over at daytime, 'The Kitchen' was the top show, beating 'Pioneer Woman' in viewers and demos. Trisha's show benefited from the move to 12pm and improved in viewers in demos over last year, as well as 'Giada Entertains' which took advantage from the 'Girl Meets Farm' lead-in, which also got a boost from the 'PW' reruns. The daytime weekend shows got the biggest audience increases over a year ago and fared better in the 25-54 demo (FN's audience demo), while the primetime shows, especially the baking championships and the realities got the biggest ratings and better 18-49 younger demo numbers. The aging prime shows like 'Chopped', 'Beat Bobby Flay' and 'Guy's Grocery Games' while getting good younger demos, got the smaller audience numbers and some even lost viewers from last year like 'GGG'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK 1Q 2019 (JANUARY 1-MARCH 31) MOST WATCHED SHOWS (In Millions of Viewers, Only Original Episodes) 1--THE KITCHEN---17.68 2--PIONEER WOMAN---16.85 3--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP—15.20 4--WORST COOKS IN AMERICA---13.19 5--DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---13.11 6--CHOPPED---12.56 7--BEAT BOBBY FLAY---11.85 8--GIADA ENTERTAINS---9.67 9--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: EXTRA ICING---8.53 10-WINNER CAKE ALL---7.73 11-GUY’S GROCERY GAMES---7.52 12-TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---7.42 13-GIRL MEETS FARM---7.28 14-GUY’S RANCH KITCHEN---6.65 15-BUDDY VS DUFF—6.12 16-GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: DDD TOURNAMENT---3.35 17-FAMILY FOOD SHOWDOWN---3.28 18-SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---2.61 19-WORST COOKS: REHEATED---2.26 20-SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: EXTRA ICING---907,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK 1Q 2019 (JANUARY 1-MARCH 31) TOTAL VIEWERS AVG (Only Original Episodes) 1--BUDDY VS DUFF---1,530,000 million viewers 2--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---1,520,000 3--WORST COOKS IN AMERICA---1,465,000 4--THE KITCHEN---1,360,000 5--SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---1,307,000 6--PIONEER WOMAN---1,296,000 7--TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---1,237,000 8--GIRL MEETS FARM---1,040,000 9--DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES---1,008,000 10-CHOPPED---966,000 11-GUY’S RANCH KITCHEN---950,000 12-KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: EXTRA ICING---915,000 13-BEAT BOBBY FLAY---911,000 14-SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: EXTRA ICING---907,000 15-GIADA ENTERTAINS---879,000 16-GUY’S GROCERY GAMES DDD FAMILY TOURNAMENT---838,000 17-GUY’S GROCERY GAMES---835,000 18-FAMILY FOOD SHOWDOWN---819,000 19-WINNER CAKE ALL---774,000 20-WORST COOKS: REHEATED---754,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FOOD NETWORK 1Q 2019 (JANUARY 1-MARCH 31) DEMO 18-49 AVG (Only Original Episodes) 1--WORST COOKS IN AMERICA---0.44 2--BUDDY VS DUFF---0.44 3--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---0.42 4--SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---0.35 5--CHOPPED---0.31 6--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES DDD FAMILY TOURNAMENT---0.30 7--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES---0.30 8--BEAT BOBBY FLAY---0.29 9--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: EXTRA ICING---0.28 10-DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES---0.28 11-THE KITCHEN---0.27 12-TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---0.25 13-PIONEER WOMAN---0.25 14-WINNER CAKE ALL---0.23 15-GIRL MEETS FARM---0.23 16-FAMILY FOOD SHOWDOWN---0.23 17-WORST COOKS: REHEATED---0.22 18-SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: EXTRA ICING---0.22 19-GUY’S RANCH KITCHEN---0.20 20-GIADA ENTERTAINS---0.19 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK 1Q 2019 (JANUARY 1-MARCH 31) DEMO 25-54 AVG (Only Original Episodes) 1--BUDDY VS DUFF---0.55 2--WORST COOKS IN AMERICA---0.53 3--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---0.50 4--SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---0.44 5--THE KITCHEN---0.41 6--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES DDD FAMILY TOURNAMENT---0.38 7--DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES---0.37 8--CHOPPED---0.37 9--TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---0.36 10-BEAT BOBBY FLAY---0.36 11-GUY’S GROCERY GAMES---0.35 12-PIONEER WOMAN---0.35 13-KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: EXTRA ICING---0.34 14-GIRL MEETS FARM---0.32 15-GUY’S RANCH KITCHEN---0.30 16-FAMILY FOOD SHOWDOWN---0.29 17-SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: EXTRA ICING---0.29 18-WINNER CAKE ALL---0.29 19-WORST COOKS: REHEATED---0.28 20-GIADA ENTERTAINS---0.27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK 1Q 2019 (JANUARY 1-MARCH 31) 2019 VS 2018 COMPARISONS TOTAL VIEWERS-DEMO 18-49 (Original Episodes) 1--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: +19%, +24% 2--TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN: +15%, +19% 3--THE KITCHEN: +15%, +18% 4--PIONEER WOMAN: +14%, +9% 5--GIADA ENTERTAINS: +12%, EVEN 6--WORST COOKS IN AMERICA: +11%, +19% 7--GIRL MEETS FARM: +11%, +15% 8--DINERS, DRIVE-INS & DIVES: +6%, +8% 9--GUY’S RANCH KITCHEN: +6%, EVEN 10-CHOPPED: +3%, +7% 11-SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: +2%, -6% 12-BEAT BOBBY FLAY: +0.3%, +8% 13-GUY’S GROCERY GAMES DDD FAMILY TOURNAMENT: -3%, EVEN 14-GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: -6%, +4% Edited April 2, 2019 by ny1221 Link to comment

ny1221 April 16, 2019 Share April 16, 2019 (edited) The finale of 'Buddy vs Duff' was a ratings winner for FN with 1.86 million viewers and 0.53 demo rating. It averaged 1.57 million viewers and 0.45 demo for its 6 episode season and, so far, its the network's only new hit of the year and its highest rated series. On the other side, Buddy and Duff didn't fare so well with their individual series, especially Buddy, whose 'Bake It Rich' lost 52 percent in viewers and 47% demo from the 'Buddy vs Duff' finale. 'Duff Take the Cake' fared better last night with 910,000 viewers/0.25 demo but lost a quarter of the audience and demo from 'Spring Baking Championship'. Nonetheless, Duff's new show premiere got better numbers than Valerie Bertinelli's 'Family Food Showdown' (moving again, now to Thursdays at 8P) on the Monday 10P slot. In daytime, Week 2 of the '30 Minute Meals' reboot: ratings were down 24 percent in viewers and 22% demo, compared to week 1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (April 8-14, 2019) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo 18-49 rating in parenthesis) 1--BUDDY VS DUFF (Season Finale)---Sunday 9:00PM---1,857,000 (0.53) 2--SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Monday 9:00PM---1,299,000 (0.37) 3--THE KITCHEN---Saturday 11:00AM---1,126,000 (0.20) 4--PIONEER WOMAN---Saturday 10:00AM---1,095,000 (0.17) 5--BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Thursday 10:00PM---943,000 (0.31) 6--30 MINUTE MEALS---Saturday 12:00PM---910,000 (0.18) 7--DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Friday 9:00PM---909,000 (0.25) 8--GIRL MEETS FARM---Sunday 11:00AM---883,000 (0.16) 9--GUY’S GROC GAMES: WINNING TEAMS---Wed 9:00PM---881,000 (0.33) 10-BAKE YOU RICH (Series Premiere)---Sunday 10:00PM---878,000 (0.28) 11-CHOPPED---Tuesday 9:00PM---875,000 (0.25) 12-FAMILY FOOD SHOWDOWN---Monday 10:00PM---712,000 (0.19) 13-GIADA ENTERTAINS (Season Finale)---Sunday 11:30AM---685,000 (0.13) 14-30 MINUTE MEALS---Sunday 12:00PM---678,000 (0.14) 15-FAMILY FOOD SHOWDOWN 2---Monday 11:00PM---518,000 (0.15) 16-30 MINUTE MEALS---Friday 12:00PM---358,000 (0.07) 17-30 MINUTE MEALS---Tuesday 12:00PM---297,000 (0.06) 18-30 MINUTE MEALS---Monday 12:00PM---269,000 (0.04) 19-30 MINUTE MEALS---Wednesday 12:00PM---268,000 (0.04) 20-30 MINUTE MEALS---Thursday 12:00PM---222,000 (0.05) Edited April 16, 2019 by ny1221 Link to comment

Yeah No April 22, 2019 Share April 22, 2019 22 hours ago, answerphone said: I'm glad to see Restaurant Impossible return, although it's predictable Robert Irvine will spit out his food.😯 And smash something with a mallet. I was actually happy to see it back despite douch-ey Robert. He looks better this season than the last time I saw him but has sprouted an obviously unavoidable gut thanks to advancing middle age. Thankfully there was no attempt to Dr. Phil-ize himself and it was VERY good to see Taniya Nayak and Tom Bury again. Other than that, it's predictable, but perhaps no more so than Gordon Ramsay's "24 Hours to Hell and Back". At least I don't lose as many brain cells watching it as watching "Worst Cooks".

ny1221 April 24, 2019 Share April 24, 2019 (edited) I, for one, thought that the 'Restaurant Impossible' reboot wouldn't be successful, because other makeover shows like 'Bar Rescue' and 'Trading Spaces' ratings are way down their peaks but, not only 'RI's return passed the million viewer mark on a Saturday night, but it improved over the 1.02 million viewers who watched the last episode of 'Restaurant Impossible: Ambush' on Wednesday, May 4th, 2016. We'll see how it evolves. The premiere of 'Worst Cooks: Celebrity' was up 6% viewers and down 10% demo from last season's premiere (1.29M viewers/0.41 demo on 4/15/2018). Meanwhile, the second episode of Buddy Valastro's 'Bake It Rich' was down 27% in viewers and 29% demo from last week's premiere and down a whopping 54% viewers and 46% demo from its 'Worst Cooks' lead-in. ------------------------------------------------------------ FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (April 15-21, 2019) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo 18-49 rating in parenthesis) 1--WORST COOKS CELEBRITY (Season Premiere)---Sun 9:00PM---1,370,000 (0.37) 2--SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Monday 9:00PM---1,223,000 (0.31) 3--THE KITCHEN---Saturday 11:00AM---1,207,000 (0.21) 4--PIONEER WOMAN (Season Premiere)---Saturday 10:00AM---1,186,000 (0.20) 5--RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE (Season Premiere)--Sat 9:00PM--1,069,000 (0.25) 6--30 MINUTE MEALS---Saturday 12:00PM---1,051,000 (0.18) 7--DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Friday 9:00PM---985,000 (0.27) 8--DUFF TAKES THE CAKE (Series Premiere)---Monday 10:00PM---910,000 (0.25) 9--PIONEER WOMAN: BEST CHICKEN DINNERS--Sun 10:30AM--852,000 (0.15) 10-CHOPPED---Tuesday 9:00PM---842,000 (0.24) 11-BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Thursday 10:00PM---814,000 (0.22) 12-30 MINUTE MEALS---Sunday 12:00PM---812,000 (0.17) 13-GIRL MEETS FARM---Sunday 11:00AM---808,000 (0.16) 14-BAREFOOT CONTESSA (Season Premiere)---Sunday 11:30AM---798,000 (0.14) 15-GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: JUDGES & ATHLETES--Wed 9:00PM--791,000 (0.29) 16-ACE OF CAKES: BEST OF DUFF (Special)---Monday 10:30PM---767,000 (0.23) 17-BAKE YOU RICH---Sunday 10:00PM---638,000 (0.20) 18-FAM FOOD SHOWDOWN (New Day-Time)---Thur 8:00PM---484,000 (0.12) 19-30 MINUTE MEALS---Friday 12:00PM---408,000 (0.09) 20-30 MINUTE MEALS---Wednesday 12:00PM---339,000 (0.05) 21-30 MINUTE MEALS---Monday 12:00PM---334,000 (0.08) 22-30 MINUTE MEALS---Tuesday 12:00PM---296,000 (0.04) 23-30 MINUTE MEALS---Thursday 12:00PM---255,000 (0.06) Edited April 24, 2019 by ny1221 1 Link to comment
ny1221 April 30, 2019 Share April 30, 2019 (edited) Episode 2 of the 'Restaurant: Impossible' reboot (which has to be the most heavily promoted show on FN's history, along with 'I Hart Food and 'Bite Club') went up a little bit from the premiere and stayed even in demo. FN should be wise to keep the show on Saturday nights, as some Discovery networks, like TLC and OWN, run originals that night of the week, or move it back to its original Wednesday night slot. Even the special that followed the show had more ratings than some of the weeknight primetime shows like 'Chopped', 'GGG' and 'Beat Bobby Flay'. Finally, after 4 timeslot changes, one of FN's duds of the year, 'Family Food Showdown' ended its run with only 608,000 viewers, losing a third of its '30 Minute Meals' lead. ---------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (April 22-28, 2019)*Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo 18-49 rating in parenthesis) 1--WORST COOKS CELEBRITY---Sunday 9PM---1,251,000 (0.36) 2--SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Monday 9PM---1,226,000 (0.30) 3--PIONEER WOMAN---Saturday 10AM---1,179,000 (0.21) 4--THE KITCHEN---Saturday 11AM---1,111,000 (0.23) 5--RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE---Saturday 9PM---1,099,000 (0.25) 6--GIRL MEETS FARM---Sunday 11AM---1,027,000 (0.21) 7--BAREFOOT CONTESSA---Sunday 11:30AM---950,000 (0.21) 8--DUFF TAKES THE CAKE---Monday 10PM---941,000 (0.24) 9--30 MINUTE MEALS---Saturday 12PM---866,000 (0.17) 10-REST.

ny1221 May 8, 2019 Share May 8, 2019 (edited) The season finale of 'Spring Baking Championship' ended up with 1.37 million viewers/0.31 demo 18-49, up 3 percent in viewers, but down a huge 23 percent in demo from last season's finale (1.33M/0.40 on April 30th, 2018). Overall, even with a more recognizable host, this season (1.28M/0.34) was down just less than one percent in viewers and 8 percent in demo from last season (1.29M/0.37). After a second day and time change, Buddy Valastro's 'Bake You Rich' (now on Monday nights after 'Duff Takes the Cake') fared even worst than on Sunday nights, with 484,000 viewers and 0.15 demo last night, -34% in viewers and -21 demo from Duff's lead-in, who's show was down 46% in viewers and 39% demo from the 'SBC's finale lead. In this battle of the bakers, Duff takes the win, although he doesn't have to crow about it, since 'Takes the Cake' has drop a lot from its premiere and couldn't hold a lot out of its lead. 'Restaurant Impossible' continues to go up in viewers week to week although its demo numbers go down. Hopefully, the show won't return until later this summer because the constant promotions on every break are tiring. Finally, in daytime, the '30 Minute Meals' reboot ended with an average 471,000 viewers/0.09 demo (311,000/0.06 for the weekday shows and 874,000/0.17 for the weekend shows).

ny1221 May 15, 2019 Share May 15, 2019 (edited) The finale of 'Restaurant Impossible' was the highest of the four episode season; each week the show grew up in viewers and reached its highest demo rating on the last episode. On average, the season was up 19% in viewers, but down 8% in demo from the 'Ambush' season in 2016. Now, instead of the countless 'RI' promos, we have countless 'Best Baker in America' promos. Meanwhile, 'Spring Baking Championship's season average was basically flat in viewers and down 8% in demo from last season. Although 'Best Baker's premiere this past Monday 5/13 (1.17 million viewers/0.26 demo) was up 28% in viewers and 13% demo from last season's premiere (910,000/0.23 on 5/7/2018), it was down from the average 'SBC' episode's rating. We'll see if, as it happened last season, 'Best Baker' goes way up in viewers week to week. Finally, don't unterstand why FN brought back one of the biggest ratings disasters of 2018: 'Bite Club'. It didn't matter if it followed 'Chopped' (which also isn't getting the numbers it once had). It went down to less than 500,000 viewers (497,000/0.15) last night. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (May 6-12, 2019) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo 18-49 rating in parenthesis) 1--SPRING BAKING CHAMP.

mlp May 16, 2019 Share May 16, 2019 I was pretty surprised to see a new episode of Bite Club myself because I knew the ratings hadn't been good the first time around. I liked the new one better than the first season's shows but I couldn't figure out what was different about it. It's not FN's best offering but I'd watch Bite Club twenty times before I watched Restaurant Impossible and Robert Irvine. Link to comment
Maverick May 16, 2019 Share May 16, 2019 In the first season, there were 4 chefs brought it to start. One of the was voted off the island (or maybe they drew rocks). That chef became the second judge, and never cooked. now they just bring in 3 chefs to start and have two judges. The immediate elimination was kind of crappy, so that part is better at least. 1 Link to comment
mlp May 16, 2019 Share May 16, 2019 You're right, Maverick. I had forgotten that. I knew something had changed for the better but I couldn't think what. Link to comment
