'Iron Chef Eats' fared even worst, not only dropping a lot from last week, but going down big from episode to episode, as the show is a 'Best Thing I Ever Ate' without the fun and without most Food Network personalities. Once again, Saturday morning shows performed better than those in prime time, as only 'DDD' had more than a million viewers. 'Help My Yelp' has clearly failed, 'GGG' and 'Beat Bobby Flay' aren't consistent and 'Chopped' and 'Cooks vs Cons' have lost steam. Even gimmicks aren't working for 'Chopped' at this point. On Saturday morning, this week 'The Kitchen' had more viewers than 'Pioneer Woman'. Now, the show is standing on its own as it doesn't depend on how PW performs, as Trisha's show does and same Valerie's to The Kitchen, as 'Southern Kitchen' and 'Home Cooking' dropped from their lead shows. On Sunday, 'Giada in Italy' has so-so ratings and at the end of the month 'Ayesha's Homemade' (which had bad ratings on Saturdays after The Kitchen) is joining that block at 12:30.

Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. Giada is hard to take serious when she doesn't eat anything. On Food Network Star, they show her putting an empty fork in her mouth, which you are probably not supposed to notice over her cleavage, which I'm also tired of seeing. She also seems to repeat the things she cooks over the different shows. I rarely watch and yet constantly think, "Did I just see this episode? Nope, says it's new."

Gimmicks ruin everything for me (poor Amazing Race). I read the forum here at PTV and then decide if I want to watch the episode, and it is only every few episodes that seem to get a comment, some good and some bad, so I think that the gimmicks are a major turn-off. Hopefully, TPTB will read this, since they don't seem to bother reading their Facebook and Twitter feeds, which are also sick of gimmicks and Cooks and Cons commercials. I am not alone! I am not a crackpot! Okay, maybe I am, but FN can't prove it! Okay, maybe they can. Link to comment

I've been really glad to see how The Kitchen keeps getting more successful, but outperforming The Pioneer Woman is amazing. Ree and Giada i like to see pushed down since ive been sick of them for so long. It should also be noted that The Kitchen as a program as well as the hosts are nominated for Daytime Emmy's. 1 Link to comment

Qoass May 2, 2017 Share May 2, 2017 (edited) on yesterday's The Chew, they were talking about somebody who put their cat on Instagram or Pinterest or something posing with food calling it a chef. Mario Batali said that you can't stick a chef's hat on somebody and call it a chef to which Michael Symon responded that it would have its own Food Network show in no time. Snerk.

Alarming premiere numbers for 'Ginormous Food,' which was heavily promoted for about a month before the new season started. S1 premiered January 6th to 1.1 million viewers and 0.34 demo rating, so it went down half the audience from S1's premiere. Since 'DDD' and 'Ginormous' audiences are mostly men and there were NBA Playoffs and NFL Draft last Friday night, we'll see if the show goes up a lot or stays about the same. There's no help for 'Help My Yelp' and 'Kids BBQ Championship' premiere ratings went down from S1's 773,000 viewers and 0.27 demo (May 23rd, 2016). Although it looks like it wasn't a big drop, Season 1 ended with 1.3 million viewers and 0.38, so it should be considered a disappointment since it was promoted a lot. 'Ayesha's Home Kitchen' might have found a better fit airing after Giada instead of following 'The Kitchen' since her ratings stayed basically the same. Edited May 3, 2017 by ny1221 1 Link to comment

As of Sunday night (May 7th), it's not clear if 'Yelp' will air as FN is showing a bug promoting the show for tomorrow (only 2 episodes remain) but they've still announcing 'DDD' on their website. IRON CHEF EATS: Its finale was moved to 11PM this Sunday. They'll air an 'Iron Chef America' re-run at 10PM (maybe to see if ICA performs better than 'Eats' to explore a possible comeback).

spiderpig May 20, 2017 Share May 20, 2017 Glad I looked here. I loved Food Truck Race, and suppose I will even if they're not racing. It's repeating in a couple of hours. Though it is fun to see them knocking down streetlights and traffic signs. Link to comment
Wings May 20, 2017 Share May 20, 2017 (edited) I hated the traveling part because it really made no difference where they were. All that came of that was unnecessary angst being in an unfamiliar place. That ate up a lot of footage. ' The people who ordered the kimchi taco were asked to do so by production otherwise they probably would not have gotten many takers. It didn't appear that they had ever had it.

The premiere of 'Comeback Kitchen' was up from last season's (1.34 million on May 8th, 2016). In the battle of the pilots, last week's 'BBQ Big Race' were way better than 'Great Food Truck Rally' but, 'Texas Cake House's pilot ratings weren't that good and it was ordered into a series, so with FN you never know, either 'Race' and 'Rally' could both be ordered or neither one.

ny1221 May 31, 2017 Share May 31, 2017 (edited) Quote I will be very interested to see the ratings which include 5/28. The Barefoot Contessa has a new season beginning today and the content blows all these crappy shows out of the water, as usual. I wish it were on Saturday instead of Sunday, though. The 'Barefoot Contessa' premiere got pretty good ratings, considering that its the only original on Sunday mornings and it should be on Saturdays @ 10:30, since its a short season. Food Network used to put other shows while 'Trisha's Southern Kitchen' was on hiatus between seasons, like 'Heartland Table' and 'Farmhouse Rules'. Now, they've kept TSK in reruns since the end of April and it won't change at least until July. TSK, which in originals, drops a lot in ratings from 'Pioneer Woman's, might be getting pretty low numbers in reruns since now its starting to affect 'The Kitchen',which usually improves what TSK leaves them. 'The Kitchen' hasn't reached a million viewers on three of the last five weeks and, if 'The Kitchen' drops, 'Valerie's Home Cooking', which also usually drops a lot from 'The Kitchen', also suffers. Don't know if FN and Trisha have some agreement to keep her show in 10:30am timeslot even if its on long hiatus, but her show has changed production companies three times in five years and its getting tired, so FN should protect their Saturday morning block, which is the most watched daypart on the network, other than Sunday nights.

xaxat June 1, 2017 Share June 1, 2017 Food Blogger Sues Food Network Over Viral Cupcake Video Quote According to the Hollywood Reporter, after LaBau posted the recipe it went viral due to a Facebook post and ended up crashing her website. She decided to make a video of the tutorial, which she posted last year. But a few weeks later, the Food Network posted a similar video on its Facebook page. Now, LaBau is suing the Food Network over the video for copyright infringement. And while copyright law does not protect recipes themselves, it does protect videos, illustrations, and explanations of recipes; the lawsuit alleges that Food Network mimicked her video too closely.

It also was way down from the premiere ratings of 'Iron Chef Gauntlet,' which got almost 2 million viewers. 'Barefoot Contessa' should have been scheduled on Saturday mornings at 10:30am as 'The Kitchen' had another week with less than a million viewers. After just two episodes with terrible ratings, 'Bakers vs Fakers' was taken off the air, replaced by new episodes of 'Cutthroat Kitchen' starting tomorrow night. 1 Link to comment
xaxat June 6, 2017 Share June 6, 2017 @ny1221, do you know if there is an advertiser premium for delivering viewers in the Saturday/Sunday morning slot, when people typically don't watch TV? Or is it just the best spot for instructional cooking shows? Link to comment

Spunkygal June 14, 2017 Share June 14, 2017 Wow, Ina dropped to tenth. I hate, hate, hate FN for sticking her with a crappy day and time. IMHO, she is the one true talent they have. Grrrrr.... 5 Link to comment
annzeepark914 June 14, 2017 Share June 14, 2017 Ina needs to be on Saturday morning. Can't believe Ginormous (oy) Food, Guy's Grudge Match (geez) and Pioneer Woman beat Barefoot Contessa, a classy show where one learns how to make delicious food and also how to arrange a simple but elegant vase of flowers and set a pretty table. FN is lucky to still have her on their increasingly juvenile network. She belongs on PBS. 9 Link to comment

ny1221 June 21, 2017 Share June 21, 2017 (edited) From: Multichannel News Food Network And Cooking Channel Fire Up Programming Pipeline Second Half of the Year Boasts 350 Premiere Hours Including 13 New Series and 25 Pilots 6/16/2017 4:15 PM NEW YORK - Summertime is sizzling as Food Network and Cooking Channel fire up the programming pipeline with 350 premiere hours planned for the second half of the year. Returning fan-favorites will be complemented by 13 new series and 25 pilots, all rolled out for audiences to devour. "Summer has long been a time to enjoy seasonal offerings and as the halfway mark on the calendar, an ideal place for both Food Network and Cooking Channel to sweeten the programming line-up for the rest of the year," said Courtney White, Senior Vice President Programming. "Entertaining stories, trusted experts and personalities, and most importantly mouthwatering food, work together to reinforce the leadership position these brands have long been known for." Food Network's schedule will include new series such as: Dessert Games, the Guy Fieri-hosted docu-series Guy's Big Project, I Hart Food, a travelogue hosted by new-to-the-network Hannah Hart, and all-new cooking series Bobby & Damaris (wt). Also launching are all-new episodes of Texas Cake House plus new seasons of fan-favorites - Chopped Grill Masters, Halloween Baking Championship, Halloween Wars, Holiday Baking Championship and Christmas Cookie Challenge. Rounding out the Q3/Q4 slate are delicious new pilots ranging from food-first travel adventures, innovative competitions, and deep dives into everything from bacon to baking and everything in between. Cooking Channel dishes out new series Monster Food as well as Late Nite Eats, and U.K imports Choccywoccydoodah and Heston's Fantastical Food, as well as returning favorites - Big Bad BBQ Brawl, Carnival Eats, Cheap Eats, Food: Fact or Fiction? and Man Fire Food, plus a variety of pilots to satisfy every taste. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANOTHER show for Duff Goldman, this time a 'GGG' about desserts. 'Texas Cake House' got the go ahead to become a series, even with disappointing pilot ratings and, apparently Damaris Phillips is getting another show with one of the two Bobby's, either Flay or Deen; also not clear is what kind of cooking series this would be: an instructional cooking show like 'Grill It!', a travelogue, a competition cooking show a la 'Masterchef' or a cooking talk show, given the success of 'The Kitchen' and the fact that Bobby Flay did a pilot for a daytime talk show with Giada for syndication that didn't sell, so maybe FN wants to do another talk show, this time with Flay and Damaris.
