ny1221 January 6, 2020 Share January 6, 2020 (edited) As viewers looked for cooking shows to get holiday recipes, daytime shows suffered the least during 2019's fourth quarter in terms of ratings. Six out of the top 10 most watched shows were daytime. Also during the quarter, only 2 shows were up in viewers compared to the 4th quarter of 2018 and all shows were down in the 18-49 demo, with prime time veterans and many holiday staples like 'Halloween Wars' and 'Christmas Cookie Challenge' dropping the most. -------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK 4Q 2019 MOST WATCHED SHOWS (Oct 1-Dec 31, 2019)*

ny1221 January 6, 2020 Share January 6, 2020 (edited) It was a mixed 2019 for FN: only one big hit (‘Buddy VS Duff'), some respectable but not huge shows (‘Holiday Wars’, ‘BBQ Brawl: Flay VS Symon’, ‘Santa’s Baking Blizzard’, ‘Duff takes the Cake’ ‘Halloween Cake-Off and ‘Delicious Miss Brown’) and a huge number of misses (‘Winner Cake All’, ‘Supermarket Stakeout’, ‘Family Food Showdown’, ‘Bake You Rich’, ‘The Flay List’, ‘Cupcake Championship’, ‘Carnivorous’, ‘Kitchen Takeover’ and ‘Family Restaurant Rivals’). It was also a mix bag for revivals: huge success for ‘Restaurant Impossible’, good numbers for ‘Food Network Challenge’ and nice numbers for ’30 Minute Meals’ only on Saturdays not on weekdays. Clip and fact shows like ‘Revisited’, ‘Extra Icing’, ‘Extra Spooky’ and ‘Merry Xtras’ were also very successful. Unfortunately, the biggest ratings disappointment was ‘Good Eats’. Prime time suffered, as the two most watched shows were ‘The Kitchen’ and ‘Pioneer Woman'. 'The Kitchen' was also a top 10 show, after no daytime entry made the list in 2018. An example of prime time's decline, last year ‘Chopped’ and all its stunts was the most watched show with 60 million viewers. In 2019, it dropped to #3 with 49 million. Game shows like ‘Chopped’, ‘Beat Bobby Flay’ and ‘GGG’ suffered the biggest ratings drops and starting in the summer, other game shows like ‘Kids Baking Championship’ and ‘Wedding Cake Championship” started a trend of huge audience and demo declines that accentuated during the holidays. In 2019, out of 35 returning shows, 11 increased in viewers from 2018 and only 3 were up in demo ratings from last year. No wonder why FN is starting to promote 'Chopped' and 'GGG' a lot in the new year, ignoring daytime totally. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 2019 FOOD NETWORK MOST

ny1221 January 8, 2020 Share January 8, 2020 (edited) 2020 didn't start exactly well for Food Network, as two of its highest rated signature shows premiered to good but not spectacular numbers. First, the new season of 'Worst Cooks in America' with Alton Brown as co-host/mentor, was watched by 1.3 million viewers and 0.35 demo rating, down 23 percent in viewers and 28% in demo from last winter season's premiere (1.68million viewers/0.49 on 1/6/2019). It was beaten by 'The Kitchen' as the most watched show for the week. On Monday, the new winter season premiere of 'Kids Baking Championship' registered 1.14 million viewers/0.26 demo, down 21% in viewers and a whopping 35% drop in demo from the 1.46M/0.40 the show did last January 7th, 2019. As people look for healthy recipes on the first week of the new year, daytime shows once again fared better than primetime's,with 6 series on the top ten. The return of 'Delicious Miss Brown' was up 14% in viewers and 23% in demo from its debut last July. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS - ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (Dec 30, 2019-Jan 5, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,311,000 (0.27) 2---WORST COOKS IN AMERICA (S.

FN largely lost me during November and December because of the non-stop pumpkin-carving, cake-decorating, kids-baking, cookie-baking, baking-baking, ugh ugh ugh competitions. I am revolted by the wasteful excess of the shows that require teams to create giant showpieces that will be thrown away. Just use styrofoam, FN! The creations are gross, anyway.

ny1221 January 16, 2020 Share January 16, 2020 (edited) Week 2 for 'Kids Baking Championship' and 'Worst Cooks in America' new seasons and both were down from their premieres: 'WCA' drop 15 percent in viewers and demo and came at #7 for the week as the top 4 shows were daytime. Monday 1/13's 'KBC' was down 8% in viewers and 23% in demo (1.05million/0.20 demo). Both shows competed with big sporting events during the weekend that affected many shows on broadcast and cable TV, so most likely they'll go up on their next episodes but, so far, this continues with the trend that many FN game shows start way down from their previous seasons and they pick up steam as they go along, but it isn't enough to recoup their audience losses. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (January 6-12, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,362,000 (0.24) 2---PIONEER WOMAN---Sat 10:00AM---1,202,000 (0.22) 3---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,181,000 (0.18) 4---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,163,000 (0.24) 5---KIDS BAKING CHAMP.

Well, their new streaming service, which had a 3 month free trial I took advantage of, has actual cooking classes! I wasn’t sure I’d like it, but now I kind of do, and I have to decide by Feb. 5 if I want to pay for it. Michael Symon has 3 live shows every Thursday. Other food Network personalities have classes throughout the week. Most are simple recipes, but if you enjoy the “chefs” (some are, some are not), it is a nice way to kill some time. Link to comment

ny1221 January 24, 2020 Share January 24, 2020 (edited) This past week, 'Restaurant Impossible' was the highest rated prime time show on FN, getting more viewers and demo ratings than 'Kids Baking Championship' and 'RI' did the same with last night's episode. 'Revisited' also rated higher than 'Chopped', 'Beat Bobby Flay', 'DDD', 'GGG' and 'Worst Cooks'. Speaking of 'Worst Cooks', now with Alton Brown as a co-host/mentor, it has lost audience every week since its premiere: less than a million viewers watched this past week. So far, it has dropped a quarter of its viewers and a third of its demo from 2019. We'll see if it can regain some of its audience, which seems to be a little bit difficult, since there are big events coming up the next three Sundays and 'Worst Cooks', as well as other cable shows, tend to drop when big events are broadcast on network TV. --------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (January 13-19, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,510,000 (0.25) 2---PIONEER WOMAN---Sat 10:00AM---1,338,000 (0.24) 3---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,281,000 (0.22) 4---RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE---Thur 9:00PM---1,140,000 (0.27) 5---VALERIE’S HOME COOKING---Sun 11:30AM---1,061,000 (0.19) 6---KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,049,000 (0.20) 7---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,032,000 (0.17) 8---RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE: REVISITED---Thur 8:00PM---1,025,000 (0.25) 9---WORST COOKS IN AMERICA---Sun 9:00PM---993,000 (0.24) 10--DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Fri 9:00PM---965,000 (0.25) 11--DELICIOUS MISS BROWN---Sun 12:00PM---909,000 (0.15) 12--30 MINUTE MEALS---Sat 9:30AM---834,000 (0.17) 13--BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Thur 10:00PM---792,000 (0.19) 14--BEAT BOBBY FLAY (Special Day)---Sun 10:00PM---790,000 (0.21) 15--GIADA ENTERTAINS (Season Premiere)---Sun 12:30PM---772,000 (0.15) 16--CHOPPED---Tue 9:00PM---750,000 (0.24) 17--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: DDD/GGG TEAM TOURN-Wed 9PM-675,000 (0.22) 18--KIDS BAKING CHAMP: EXT.

ny1221 February 7, 2020 Share February 7, 2020 (edited) Another week, another strong showing from Food Network’s daytime shows: 4 out of the top 5 shows. For the first time ever, ‘The Kitchen’ was FN's most watched program for the entire month of January. Usually, it’s a battle between ‘Worst Cooks’ and ‘Kids Baking Championship’ to reach that position but, so far, these two shows have experienced massive total viewer/demo erosions: ‘Worst Cooks’ has lost 30% in viewers and 41% in demo from winter 2019 while ‘Kids’ is down 26% in viewers and 43% demo. At this point, the only consistent prime time shows have been ‘Restaurant Impossible’ and ‘DDD’, as ‘Chopped’, ‘Beat Bobby Flay’ (which was moved to Sundays) and ‘GGG’ are also suffering huge double digit declines from their 2019 1st quarter numbers. FN's first new/old show for 2020, 'Food Network Challenge's revival, averaged 736,000 viewers/0.19 demo, thanks to its 1.1 million/0.27 demo ratings from its premiere. After that, it was mostly a dud, with its remaining five episodes fluctuating between 521,0000-711,000 viewers and 0.13-0.23 demo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (Jan. 27-Feb. 2, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,414,000 (0.22) 2---KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,189,000 (0.25) 3---PIONEER WOMAN---Sat 10:00AM---1,131,000 (0.19) 4---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,073,000 (0.19) 5---VALERIE’S HOME COOKING---Sun 11:30AM---1,038,000 (0.19) 6---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,000,000 (0.20) 7---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Fri 9:00PM---979,000 (0.27) 8---DELICIOUS MISS BROWN---Sun 12:00PM---967,000 (0.17) 9---RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE---Thur 9:00PM---957,000 (0.23) 10--REST.

ny1221 February 14, 2020 Share February 14, 2020 (edited) For the sixth week in a row, ‘The Kitchen’ was FN’s most watched show for the week. Winter cornerstones ‘Worst Cooks in America’ & ‘Kids Baking Championship’ have dropped 30 percent in viewers and 40 percent demo between them; the aging game shows (‘Chopped’, ‘GGG’ and ‘Beat Bobby Flay’) have shed 20% in viewers and 30% demo from first quarter 2019. This year’s new shows are getting OK ratings (‘Girl Scout Cookie Challenge’ dropped 20% in viewers from its premiere) but neither one its catching on so far. ‘Restaurant Impossible’ and ‘DDD’ remain primetime’s brightest spots.

ny1221 March 5, 2020 Share March 5, 2020 (edited) This past Monday March 2nd's finale of 'Kids Baking Championship' averaged 1.09 million viewers and 0.25 demo, down 34% in viewers and 41% demo from 2019's winter's finale (1.66 million viewers/0.43 demo on 3/11/2019). For the first time and most likely to finish the season a week earlier, FN aired 2 hours of 'KBC' and although it didn't go down in demo, it went down 12 percent in viewers hour-to-hour. This was the lowest rated winter season ever, following last summer's season, which was the lowest rated ever, with less than a million viewers on average. Season 8 lost 4.2 million viewers from January 2019 (a four season high of 15.2 million viewers to 2020's 10.9 million).

ny1221 March 13, 2020 Share March 13, 2020 (edited) Last night's season finale of 'Restaurant Impossible' did 1.05 million viewers/0.24 demo. Out of 12 episodes, the highest rated was on Jan 23 (1.17M/0.30) and the lowest on Feb 20 (957,000/0.20); half of its episodes were watched by more than a million viewers. So far in the quarter, its the third highest rated primetime series and number one on weekday primetime; its first run episodes were watched by 11.3 million viewers total (third only to 'The Kitchen' and 'Beat Bobby Flay') and its the primetime series with the lowest drop season to season: 9% in viewers and 4% demo: one of the most consistent shows on FN. Episode two of the newest primetime shows had better results: 'Tournament of Champions' (or 'Guy's Iron Chef') at 1.06M/0.27 was up 25% in viewers and 12% in demo from its premiere; it improved 'GGG's rating (772,000/0.22) by 36% in viewers and 22% demo, so people were interested in the competition and the competitors, not neccesarily on Guy. Meanwhile, Anne Burrell's 'Vegas Chef Prizefight' at 697,000/0.19 improved modestly in viewers (7%), but had a nice 46% increase in demo. Still to premiere this quarter are: 'Buddy vs Duff 2', 'Supermarket Stakeout' and 'Great Food Truck Race'. For this past week, 'The Kitchen' was by a small margin the most watched show for the week for the tenth week in a row. Most likely, it will be topped by Sunday's 'Buddy vs Duff'. -------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (March 2-8, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,179,000 (0.21) 2---KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,158,000 (0.25) 3---WORST COOKS IN AMERICA (Season Finale)---Sun 9:00PM---1,153,000 (0.31) 4---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,022,000 (0.14) 5---KIDS BAKING CHAMP (S.

For the week, it was beaten by 'The Kitchen' (which was the network's most watched show for eleven weeks in a row), 'Pioneer Woman' and a 'DDD' rerun at 5P (1.21M); even 'Girl Meets Farm' came close to beat it too. The pre-premiere special wasn't a home-run either (965,000/0.26), compared to pre-premiere specials for other shows like 'Halloween Wars'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (March 9-15, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,354,000 (0.23) 2---PIONEER WOMAN---Sat 10:00AM---1,257,000 (0.22) 3---BUDDY VS DUFF (Season Premiere)---Sun 9:00PM---1,191,000 (0.32) 4---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,182,000 (0.27) 5---SPRING BAKING CHAMP.

ny1221 March 27, 2020 Share March 27, 2020 (edited) Episode 2 of "The Great Food Truck Race" (1.07M/0.25) had a 15 percent bounce in viewers and 4% demo from premiere week; other shows with nice ratings upticks this week are: "Vegas Chef Prizefight" (24% viewers, 49% demo), "Tournament of Champions" (13% viewers and demo) and "Spring Baking Championship" (11% viewers, 25% demo). "Supermarket Stakeout" was down 6% in viewers and 12% demo. For this past week, the second episode of "Buddy vs Duff" was basically flat in viewers (up less than one percent) while demo was down 3%; also, for the 12th week in a row, "The Kitchen" was the most watched show and will be the top show in viewers for the quarter, a first for a daytime show, at least in recent years. --------------------------------------------------------------------------FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (March 16-22, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,591,000 (0.29) 2---PIONEER WOMAN---Sat 10:00AM---1,319,000 (0.27) 3---BUDDY VS DUFF---Sun 9:00PM---1,197,000 (0.31) 4---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Fri 9:00PM---1,193,000 (0.31) 5---SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,187,000 (0.24) 6---TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS---Wed 10:00PM---1,111,000 (0.30) 7---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,012,000 (0.21) 8---DELICIOUS MISS BROWN---Sun 12:00PM---986,000 (0.21) 9---CHOPPED---Tue 9:00PM---913,000 (0.25) 10--GIADA ENTERTAINS---Sun 12:30PM---913,000 (0.18) 11--SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT (Season Premiere)--Tue 10:00PM--881,000 (0.24) 12--THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE (Premiere)---Thu 9:00PM---874,000 (0.24) 13--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: NEXT CHEFS---Wed 9:00PM---846,000 (0.25) 14--BUDDY V DUFF: BEHIND T BATTLE (Premiere)--Sun 8:00PM--778,000 (0.22) 15--BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Sun 10:00PM---741,000 (0.18) 16--CHOPPED SWEETS---Mon 10:00PM---738,000 (0.18) 17--VEGAS CHEF PRIZEFIGHT---Thu 10:00PM---680,000 (0.16) Edited March 27, 2020 by ny1221 Link to comment

ny1221 April 3, 2020 Share April 3, 2020 (edited) ‘The Kitchen’ was FN’s most watched/highest rated show in viewers for the first quarter of 2020, a first for a daytime show. In 3Q 2014 and 4Q 2016, ‘Pioneer Woman’ was barely beaten for most watched show by ‘Chopped Tournament’ (the Sunday 9P game show at the time) and ‘Clash of the Grandmas’, respectively. ‘The Kitchen’ was the most watched show every week of the quarter, beating tentpoles like ‘Worst Cooks’, ‘Kids Baking Championship’, ‘Buddy vs Duff’ and ‘Spring Baking Championship’. ‘The Kitchen’ also cracked the top 10 highest rated shows in demo 18-49, beating long running ‘GGG’, ‘Chopped’ and ‘Beat Bobby Flay’. It was a great quarter for daytime shows, as they captured 3 of the top 5 most watched shows and tied with primetime for highest rated shows in viewers with 5 shows apiece. In 1Q 2019, primetime had a 6 to 4 advantage. Daytime shows had the most audience growth and lowest audience drops, while primetime shows had the biggest audience erosion. Primetime lost 27% in demo 18-49 as the highest rated show came with 0.32, compared to ‘BVD’ and ‘WCA’, which tied with 0.44 in 1Q 2019. ‘Tournament of Champions’ came on top for new shows and it was in the top 3 among all shows in demos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1Q 2020 FOOD NETWORK MOST WATCHED SHOWS (Jan 1-Mar 31, 2020) (In Millions of Viewers, sum of all original episodes) Source: Showbuzzdaily 1---THE KITCHEN---17.64 million viewers 2---BEAT BOBBY FLAY---15.52 3---PIONEER WOMAN---13.02 4---GIRL MEETS FARM---12.40 5---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---12.22 6---DELICIOUS MISS BROWN---12.12 7---RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE---11.28 8---KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---10.94 9---WORST COOKS IN AMERICA---10.35 10--TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---10.22 11--CHOPPED---9.68 12--GIADA ENTERTAINS---9.50 13--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES---7.59 14--RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE: REVISITED---7.47 15--VALERIE’S HOME COOKING---7.03 16--CHOPPED SWEETS---6.61 17--RESTAURANT IMPOSSIBLE: BEHIND THE IMPOSSIBLE---4.98 18--SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---4.97 19--TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS---4.26 20--CHOPPED CHAMPIONS---4.01 21--BUDDY VS DUFF---3.52 22--GGG’S DDD/GGG TEAM TOURNAMENT---3.19 23--GIRL SCOUT COOKIE CHAMPIONSHIP---3.06 24--VEGAS CHEF PRIZEFIGHT---2.88 25--KIDS BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP: EXTRA ICING---2.76 26--FOOD NETWORK CHALLENGE---2.59 27--SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT---2.48 28--THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE---1.88 29--30 MINUTE MEALS---1.59 30---WORST COOKS: REHEATED---1.09 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1Q 2020 FOOD NETWORK AVG.

ny1221 April 3, 2020 Share April 3, 2020 'The Kitchen' was the most watched original show for the last full weekly ratings of the first quarter of 2020, its 13th week in a row. It could change next week, as the 'Tournament of Champions' season finale did 1,549,000 viewers/0.48 demo Wednesday night. It will all depend on this Saturday's episode of 'The Kitchen', related to the current quarantine. 'Spring Baking Championship' continues to pick up steam, 'Buddy vs Duff' is stalled and it isn't the roaring success it was on its first season and 'Delicious Miss Brown' ended its 2nd season as the returning show with the biggest audience/demo growth of the quarter. -----------------------------------------------------------------FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (March 23-29, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,511,000 (0.29) 2---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,350,000 (0.26) 3---SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,336,000 (0.30) 4---TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS---Wed 10:00PM---1,260,000 (0.34) 5---PIONEER WOMAN---Sat 10:00AM---1,225,000 (0.21) 6---BUDDY VS DUFF---Sun 9:00PM---1,128,000 (0.33) 7---DELICIOUS MISS BROWN (Season Finale)---Sun 12:00PM---1,029,000 (0.21) 8---THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE---Thu 9:00PM---1,007,000 (0.25) 9---DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Fri 9:00PM---1,002,000 (0.28) 10--GIADA ENTERTAINS---Sun 12:30PM---995,000 (0.18) 11--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: CARL RUIZ’ TRIBUTE--Wed 9:00PM--990,000 (0.30) 12--BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Sun 10:00PM---965,000 (0.33) 13--CHOPPED---Tue 9:00PM---903,000 (0.19) 14--VEGAS CHEF PRIZEFIGHT---Thu 10:00PM---849,000 (0.24) 15--CHOPPED SWEETS---Mon 10:00PM---848,000 (0.22) 16--SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT---Tue 10:00PM---832,000 (0.21) Link to comment
Maverick April 5, 2020 Share April 5, 2020 Tomorrow at noon Food Network is foisting Joanna Gains on us for an hour of watching her cook. I don't watch HGTV anymore in large part because I can't stand all these flipping couples and their moppets so I'm not happy having them pollute FN. To make matters worse, there's an hour of Girl Meets Farm on either side of this annoyance. so we can have 4 times the kiddy-voiced Molly. Haven't we suffered enough? Link to comment

I’m not surprised; the Weirdos From Waco are taking over the DIY Channel and turning it into the Magnolia Channel later this year (I think). The other channels in the same company will likely be airing “specials” that are actually pilots for their channel’s shows. They basically get the benefit of testing out their shows first on established channels. As an aside, kind of crappy to use the pandemic and resulting quarantines as a framing device. Things are scary and uncertain right now and they’re predicting the peak of the first wave that we’re in somewhere in the next six weeks. What I want to know is why these two freaks are so special and popular enough to have their own entire TV channel off the back of one popular show and a magazine (whose success and popularity I admittedly don’t know)? Not even Martha Stewart Omnimedia has her own channel (and that’s something I’ve always hoped for). Oprah having her own channel makes more sense and even I was all WTF when that first happened. But at least her channel produces original content that isn’t 24/7 Oprah and shows that likely would have not found a home elsewhere (e.g., Queen Sugar). The Magnolia Channel is most likely going to be just Chip & JoJo(‘s Bizarre Adventure). 2 Link to comment

They, the rest of the flippers and those damn twins are why I quit paying attention to HGTV. I've gotten weird questioning responses from the Weirdos From Waco's fans when I made the same kind of comments about them here and elsewhere. That family has always given me that "there's something not right" feeling. I was into FN for a few years after my Mom died because the shows were a nice distraction and kind of bubble viewing. Around the same time FN quit showing Chopped as often is when I realized I had burnt out on it. Over the Summer last year I finally burnt out on most of the "Baking Championship" shows. I think the reason I still watch Guy's Grocery Games fairly often is because it reminds me of the Supermarket Sweep game show that's been re-airing on Buzzr the past couple years. I remember watching it when it originally started airing on Lifetime 100 years ago. I didn't watch Restaurant Impossible when it originally aired so I've been going down the familiar road that leads to over watching it and the followup of past episode shows. Link to comment

Automne April 5, 2020 Share April 5, 2020 So, I watched. Meh. It was home videos shot by Ella of Joanna cooking. She made chili with cornbread, zucchini bread, and chocolate chip cookies. A bunch of nonsense on how they’re surviving quarantine on their large farm. Then a clip of Joanna’s cooking show of her recruiting two friends to help her make garlic knots, a layered salad, and I think some sort of lasagna pasta bake and footage of her and Chip renovating the grist mill where the cooking show will be filmed. Absolutely nothing groundbreaking. Not to sound like a total Negative Nellie, I will say the grist mill kitchen is quite nice. It still exhibits Joanna’s aversion to color, other than the gold accents on the stove, but I do like how the spices were organized. As for a general FN/CC topic, I wonder COVID-19 and the resulting quarantines for however long it will go on will change food shows. I would love to see the end of 1.) the constant competition shows and the DDD type shows and 2.) gatherings and entertaining always being the framework for cooking shows. Not everybody likes entertaining or having more than a couple of close friends over once in a while. I’d like to see more baking shows that aren’t competitions (bring back Baked In Vermont!) and cooking shows with actual chefs (not bloggers) that get back to basics and cooking for one or two people. You’ve got people flying the dark right now because so much is focused on cooking for 4+ people. Most people don’t want to be eating leftovers of one meal for a week. 2 Link to comment

I do know that Alton Brown is currently doing a series on his YouTube channel called Pantry Raid. It appears to be a Good Eats-style show where he's making recipes with things that most people would have in their pantries but haven't necessarily needed or wanted to get out until now. This might be the forefront of the change you're looking for. 1 1 Link to comment
bad things are bad April 7, 2020 Share April 7, 2020 One thing I did like about the Joanna Gaines show was that she acknowledged that you might not have all the ingredients, particularly these days. Either substitutions or "leave it out" were part of the show. That Alton Brown pantry thing would be good stuff right about now. I have some seriously disparate ingredients in the cupboard, and it would be nice to hear some fresh thoughts about what to do with tomatoes, canned green beans, and some ghee. (hmmm, Moroccan green beans...) Link to comment
ny1221 April 7, 2020 Share April 7, 2020 (edited) Never underestimate the power of Magnolia. Sunday's 'In The Kitchen with Joanna Gaines' special topped 'The Kitchen' for FN's most watched show of the week, the first that includes ratings for the 2Q that started Wednesday. It was the first time since February 22, 2016 with an episode of 'Kids Baking Championship' (2.28M) that a show on FN was watched by 2 million viewers or more. There were other times when shows like 'Food Network Star' and 'Holiday Baking Championship' in 2017 or the 'Halloween Wars' premiere in 2018 were close of reaching the 2M mark but came short. It it weren't for the Gaines' special, 'The Kitchen' would have been the top show for the 14th week in a row as it barely beat the 'Tournament of Champions' finale. Meanwhile, 'Buddy vs Duff' has been stable this season but way off the numbers from last year and 'Vegas Chef Prizefight' next to last episode struggled again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (March 30-April 5, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timeslot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---IN THE KITCHEN: JOANNA GAINES (Special)--Sun 12:00PM--2,090,000 (0.40) 2---THE KITCHEN: QUARANTINE EDITION---Sat 11:00AM---1,560,000 (0.29) 3---TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS (S.

xaxat April 13, 2020 Share April 13, 2020 I wonder if FN is filming some at home or minimally staffed stand and stirs yet. Flying contestants and judges into New York for big production competitions is a no go right now and who knows when road shows will be a workable option again. Link to comment
chessiegal April 13, 2020 Share April 13, 2020 I read Pioneer Woman has already rolled out at home shows with her family doing the shooting on iPhones. I don't watch her show, but others commented on it. 1 Link to comment

Food Network Delivers Guy Fieri Quarantine Series ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives: Takeout’ Quote Starting April 24, Fieri will check in with four former Triple D chefs from across the country via video-chat to see how they’re holding up, and how they have transformed their businesses to keep serving customers. Each chef has sent a list of ingredients of their featured recipes straight to Guy’s house and will guide him through each step to make the dish, just like when he is on the road. This comes after Food Network President Courtney White told Deadline that the Discovery-owned network was discussing lockdown content from its top stars. “We’re talking to him about how he can get creative with that show,” he said. “Guy obviously can’t go and visit restaurants, but what is a way that we could approach it? Could he visit restaurants remotely?” Link to comment
ny1221 April 17, 2020 Share April 17, 2020 (edited) Like most of its run, 'Vegas Chef Prizefight' finished as the week's least watched original. It's 6 episode season averaged 707,000 viewers/0.17 demo; so far, its FN's least watched new show of the year and, those numbers most likely don't guarantee a second season. Meanwhile, 'Chopped's latest stunt to grab higher ratings, 'Beat the Judge' worked: the last time an episode of 'Chopped' had a million viewers or more was on March 19th, 2019. The second episode was down 15%, again to less than a million viewers. 'GGG: Behind the Games' didn't premiere to 'Tournament of Champions' numbers but, its 2nd episode was up 9% and Guy's shows, while don't get 1M+ viewers every week, get nice and consistent viewers/demos: that's why he's on FN more than 60 hours a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD NETWORK RATINGS FOR ORIGINAL PROGRAMS (April 6-12, 2020) Source: Showbuzzdaily (Rank/Show/Timelsot/# of Viewers/Demo rating 18-49 in parenthesis) 1---THE KITCHEN---Sat 11:00AM---1,510,000 (0.30) 2---BUDDY VS DUFF---Sun 9:00PM---1,386,000 (0.38) 3---SPRING BAKING CHAMPIONSHIP---Mon 9:00PM---1,373,000 (0.30) 4---TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN---Sat 12:00PM---1,371,000 (0.26) 5---PIONEER WOMAN: STAYING HOME---Sat 10:00AM---1,315,000 (0.25) 6---CHOPPED: BEAT THE JUDGE (Series Premiere)--Tue 9:00PM--1,145,000 (0.33) 7---GIRL MEETS FARM---Sun 11:00AM---1,034,000 (0.20) 8---BEAT BOBBY FLAY---Sun 10:00PM---1,007,000 (0.26) 9---THE GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE---Thu 9:00PM---1,001,000 (0.25) 10--DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES---Fri 9:00PM---983,000 (0.27) 11--GIADA ENTERTAINS---Sun 12:30PM---929,000 (0.18) 12--CHOPPED SWEETS---Mon 10:00PM---907,000 (0.22) 13--SUPERMARKET STAKEOUT---Tue 10:00PM---864,000 (0.28) 14--GUY’S GROCERY GAMES: BIG LEAGUE TEAMS--Wed 9:00PM--838,000 (0.27) 15--GGG: BEHIND THE GAMES (S.

Molly Yeh is also apparently doing some at-home filming for Girl Meets Farm with her husband as cameraman. Link to comment
