Best thing Food Network could do to improve their programming would be
to start rebroadcasting every PBS cooking show ever produced.

A sampling of which is:

The French Chef
Julia Child & Company
Dinner at Julia's
Cooking with Master Chefs
In Julia's Kitchen with Master Chefs
Baking With Julia
Julia Child & Jacques Pépin Cooking at Home
The Complete Pépin
Cooking Mexican
MEXICO – One Plate at a Time
Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen
Lidia's Family Table
Lidia's Italy
Chef Paul Prudhomme's Fiery Foods
The Frugal Gourmet
Great Chefs
Lousiana Cookin'

Then throw in all their old Mario Batali cooking shows and Alton Brown's
Good Eats.
