Everyday Italian w/Giada DeLaurentis is actually pretty good. My husband has a large collection of cookbooks that include almost all of Rachel Ray's books, Bobby Flay, Giada's first book (which has some amazing stuff in it) as well as every grilling and BBQ book he can get his hands on.
Iron Chef USA sucks ass!
Ina Garten makes me want to stuff her nostrils full of rosemary since she loves it so much.
Just watching Paula Deen cook makes me gain weight but it all looks so delicious. I'm anxious to try her crab soup that she made once. It looked amazing!

I don't watch any of this stuff, but WTF is the show where some woman makes stuff out of like canned food and box mixes?

That is Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee. I laugh hysterically at this show. I keep waiting for her to tell us to just go to the store and buy one of those pre-roasted chickens, put some parsley next to it, and serve it to our guests. Some of her ideas are actually good, but the first episode I ever saw was a strawberry cake. She just made it from a mix, used store-bought frosting, and then made it "fancy" by putting sliced strawberries on top. I couldn't believe she got her own show for that!

Actually, it's not so funny. There was recently an interview on NPR about this very phenomenon. Here's the link. If you click on "listen now" you can listen to the transcript:
Food Network = Porn

I'm probably in the minority, but I adore all things Bobby Flay.
Rachael Ray used to be great before she got her makeover. I still watch her, but if I hear "EVOO" or "yummo" one more time I'll scream. However, since there have been two Cheap Trick sightings on Inside Dish she gets a pass for good taste in music 
Unwrapped, Good Eats and Food 911 are almost always good TV. Good Eats has actually been appointment TV for the boys before.
Anyone remember (and admit to watching) Ready Set Cook with Sissy Biggers?

The girl who hosts Everyday Italian gets on my nerves so bad. She has a huge mouth and 107 teeth.

Isn't Sandra Lee the same person who had the audacity to create that Kwanzaa cake??

I LOVE the Food Network!! It's really the only channel that my husband and I agree on. I like to cook food, he likes to eat food...perfect match.
I like:
 30 Minute Meals (I just don't know how one women can make that many shows...does she EVER sleep?)
Unwrapped (gotta love Marc Summers...the old Double Dare host)
Ham on the Street (it's a new show...pretty random stuff, but quite interesting)
I HATE:
 Anything Bobby Flay (he was sooo rude when he won the original Iron Chef...I just can't get over it)
Barfoot Contessa (I still watch it, but can't stand her)
How to Boil Water (I LOVE Tyler, but really after 50 or more episodes I can't really believe that girl still doesn't know anything about cooking)

I've been getting into Everyday Italian lately. Giada De Laurentiis has a similar style to Jamie Oliver...who I miss.
Bring back Jamie Oliver and the Naked Chef!
Iron Chef (the original Japanese show) kicks ass.
I used to like Emeril, but he went too "Hollywood" for me.
Can't stand Paula Deen. Her drawl just grates on me. (maybe it's because I'm from the South) My stepmom likes her, though.
The next time Rachael Ray says "EVOO" or "yum-o", I want to strangle her. I like the highlights in her hair, though. 
I'm a Food Network addict. I admit it.

Oops, I forgot to mention the related addiction--Food Network on Demand. Yet another benefit of paying for digital cable service! Love it as well!
