I learned how to chop onions without too many tears there.

I also watch Animal Planet. I love the one's about cats obviously. Also the one's that rescue animals from cruel and neglective owners. I saw one last night about some horses that were so emancipated that one could not even stand. They had to put him in a brace so he would even have a chance to live. The owners were convicted of felony animal abuse. They got 5 days in jail, $1000 fine and 100 hours of community service. The horses were adopted out to new, caring homes. The one that couldn't even stand made a full recovery. It didn't look like the same horse.
Next Food Network Star. So addicted to that show

It's bad. My 17 and 14 year old watch it too. It was too funny. They had this one contestant on that the girls were comparing to Sneaky Pie (she used to hiss at everyone) I can't remember her name- but she was the one who won a challenge and then was a you-know-what by stacking the next challenge in her favor AND then she said "Oh yeah- I did that on purpose".

My family cheered when she got sent home

I almost turned the TV on last night to watch HGTV's version of it. But then I thought I'd get addicted to that show too

And oh yeah- but this one isn't on in the summer.

Worst Cook in America. That was quite addicting as well

I looked on Food Network's site to see if I could find some of the recipies they were doing. They didn't look all that hard.

And one more- Restaurant Challenge. Or is it something else? It's the show where the British chef takes restaurants that are failing and gives them a $10,000 makover in 2 days. You have to admit, the stories are facinating. People who take their life's savings (or a family member) to start a restaurant, and really don't have a clue as how to do it right. It's neat to see how the chef (and I can't remember his name) helps them turn things around, even though he can be "in your face" at times.

I've got dh watching that one too

YAY, the NY group doesn't do much for me at all. I like the Mafia group from New Jersey. My favorite at the moment.... And I LOVE Flipping out too

I also like to watch:
Hoarders
Animal Cops
Kardashian's
Grey's Anatomy

You are talking about Penny. I was glad when she left too. I love Cupcake Wars but DH hates it.

People are shocked I haven't been watching AGT this season, because I do pole dance for fitness and fun, and there's a pole dancer who's made it a couple rounds. But I just cant take Steven Retchless that seriously. He's very strong and talented on the pole, but the outfits and dancing very femininely just turns me away from really wanting to watch it. My brother has a new crush on him though

I don't know if this counts, but I like to watch Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee clips on YouTube and make fun of them... I would definitely say I am addicted to that.......

Great topic!
Here's what I'm watching right now:
Hell's Kitchen
Big Brother
Design Star
Project Runway
The World According to Paris (The finale was last week, I just hope it will be on again next season.)
House Hunters
House Hunters International
Old reruns of Family Feud

I love the Amazing Race, and can't wait for it to start back. It's probably my favorite show.

I get all excited sometimes about watching a new show and was really looking forward to Celebrity Ghost Stories...only to find out that Direct TV was giving us the channel as a limited trial offer. It went away before I even got to hear Regis Philbin's ghost story.

The only show I'm actually addicted to and won't miss is American Idol when its on. Everything else I can pretty much take or leave. I used to be the same way with So You Think You Can Dance, but haven't been watching it much this season. I'm also addicted to Game of Thrones, but the season is over for that too, and I will probably be cancelling HBO.

I've never watched the Star show, so I don't know anything about it. DH and I met him at the Food Network Expo several years ago and he was a sweetie then. People were taking pictures, but I had lost my camera (it went swimming with the fishies at a state park that summer). So he gave me a hug instead! I was ecstatic! Then he turned to Rick and said, "I suppose you want a hug, too!" And Rick said, "Well, h@ll yeah!" So they hugged. I loved watching him on the stage....Rick had gotten us excellent seats and we were right in front of him. We had taken my MIL with us as part of her birthday present that year and she was just thrilled, too.

We had our choice of who to watch: AB, Paula Deen, and somebody else, I forget. I think my MIL would have chosen Paula Deen, but she also knew that I would die first. She really likes AB, too, so it worked out.

I watched his Good Eats show yesterday afternoon and he made a Tandoori oven using a grill, lots of charcoal, and a large flower pot that had been soaked in water for 10 hours. When he got it going he checked the temperature inside the flower pot and it was 800 degrees. He had cut the bottom off the pot and it looked just like a Tandoori oven.

He uses a huge terracotta planter for his prime rib and it's the only way I make my prime rib now. His Good Eats Roast Turkey is now my roast turkey; it's the way I've done my Thanksgiving turkeys now for several years. And we all love his White Trash recipe for the holidays....that stuff is addictive. (My planter is in the basement on a shelf and is only used for prime rib. My turkey bucket is only used to brine my turkeys....and sometimes chickens.)

AB and Ina Garten were the only reasons I watched Food Network. I used to watch Sara Moulton, too, but they took that off. Since the Good Eats reruns aren't on when I can watch them and The Barefoot Contessa is on around 5:00, which is when I'm busy in the kitchen, I can't seem to be able to watch that either, although I may have it on for background. I started watching the Neeleys from time to time, but Gina made my corpuscles curdle...I heard she's toned it down quite a bit.

A lot of the stuff on Food now is contests and shows about where to eat out. I enjoy the instructional shows more; I think that's why I liked Ina and AB so much.
