Meat Mopper
About the only thing on there that I watch is Good Eats, Grilling w Bobby Flay, and Boy meets Grill. I did get a kick out of the Worst Cooks show, but really it just sucked me in with the first episode (it was unbelievably funny), and the rest of it was just meh.
My biggest problem with FN is that it's either waaaay too dumbed down (Rachel Ray, and Sandra Lee) or things that I generally wouldn't eat (most of Florence's stuff, though I always check out what the shows about, and either record it or skip it). I like simple foods, griling, etc. I don't bake, so I have no use for those shows, and too many of them don't want to teach you how to cook, just how to make a dish (which is why I like Alton so much). If you want me to watch your show when you're making something I most likely wouldn't eat, make sure you're teachig me something I can use in another dish.
I do like everything my wife has made that she's gotten from Paula Deen, but I can't stomach watching her show.
Also, +1 to whoever mentioned weekend mornings. Good stuff on there.
