I don't mind Mark and I do enjoy Unwrapped <shrug> I think a lot of
posters here at least expect the foodtv network to focus only on cooking
and nothing eles but it is called foodtv not cooktv. For that reason
they do have shows that don't focus on cooking but rather on how food is
made, processed, tidbits about food origins, eating in restaurants,
running restaurants, entertaining, etc. I like that element myself. I
find that if I don't care for a show it is easier and more productive to
*change the channel* rather than complain about it. What I would like to
see on foodtv is a show similar to The Shopping Bag on Wnetwork that
compares 4 brands of an item to see which one does as promised or is the
best.
