I don't watch FN that regularly anymore, but I do use the website, and am
genuinely surprised that Sara Moulton is no longer there. At least, that's
the impression I'm getting from Luciaphile's post. And Ming...I thought he
was relegated to the wee hours, but he's just not on at all?

The only show I still truly love is Good Eats, the style just suits me.
Even though I have little interest in regular cooking shows, I think that
there are many more people who would rather have those back, and if it
means getting rid of the endless cooking contest shows (sometimes they're
interesting, often they're not worth it), reality shows, and the "eat the
streets" type shows I'm all for more variety in cooking shows. I was
excited this weekend when I saw a tiny bit of "Good Deal" that started
early on my saved recording of "Good Eats" because I think a true
budget-conscious show that included a breakdown of costs would be
fantastic...but from reading the forum I see this is not really the case.

As for the "how do they make it" shows...I think they can be OK if they
were occasional SPECIALS...but they are on so often!
