A reliance on food contest/reality show has brought about their decline. So much that they needed to create the Cooking Channel to go back to their core fundamentals and teach cooking again. Guy is just a result of all of this. He even broke through the FN ceiling via a reality show, not by being a respected chef with restaurants.

This is not unlike MTV moving away from music videos in the 90's (e.g. The Real World, Bevis & Butthead) and creating MTV 2 to show music videos. Then MTV 2 became the same as MTV 1.

Food Network UK is slowly turning into non-cooking based shows. Probably partly due to Guy.

Used to be actual cooking shows by people who would show you recipes, or go on an <insert country here> adventure where they show different cultures cuisine. These shows are core demographic material and the only reason I watch Food Network

Sadly they're being slowly being replaced by shit like DDD, Restaurant Stakeout, Chings Restaurant Redemption, Farm Kings, Mystery Diners etc and it sucks.

Also if I hear Ina Garten say decadent one more time i'm going to snap.

For all the hate he gets on the internet, he's obviously doing something right. He has multiple shows, restaurants and cookbooks. People like him, autistics from reddit do not.

He's not a five star chef but he does not pretend to be one. Pour a glass of donkey sauce and chill out for a second, brochacho.

i learned how to cook as a kid by watching food network. it was the only channel on tv that actually offered some knowledge and ability to gain a skill.

they should've done shows that were like good eats but more in-depth with new food and food technology.

last time i was watching chopped, they had a bunch of fat teenage girls and a nervous, twitchy little effeminate boy. i know the saying of not trusting a thin chef or whatever but stop normalizing obesity and that boy spent more time on his hair than what he was cooking.

just put gif of guy fieri eating a meatloaf covered in bbq sauce and ranch dressing on the food network channel and let it die

No, Emeril started that with his BANG bullshit and having a studio audience and a band for a damn cooking show drawn out to one hour that without the BS could have been done in a 1/2 hour.

TCM used to be better, they've fallen off over the past couple years and there's a lot of repetition. From time to time though they do show some good movies.

Whenever I watch TCM I can't help thinking of Ted Turner's wife Jane Fonda sitting on a North Korean howitzer aimed at USA troops. She's a real cunt.

I think he and Bill Cosby have a lot of old cartoons shelved because some special snowflakes might get offended.

TV's just a creatively dead medium in the US. They learned at some point during the mid 2000's that they could just crap out reality garbage at the fraction of the cost of a good show and American swine will consume it even more voraciously. I don't think it helps that cable viewership is down year-over-year, either. Don't think you're gonna find much innovation in the TV space, now. Most of the hit shows on television are either on premium networks like HBO, or aren't even TV shows at all (House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, Scandal).

Nah, that would be all of the competitive cooking shows that try so hard to grip you with textbook suspense it's laughable. Oh no, everyone has a major catastrophe under the pressure but always manage to pull adequate dishes out of their ass anyway, let's hope the guy I relate to the most doesn't go home empty-handed after hearing his sob story, because that's what I came to a fucking food channel for.

I'd rather watch a fat joker create several hazards by clowning around in other people's kitchens. At least then I can get a few good tips from seeing what other people throw in a large pot.

Want to know the answer?

It's the Internets fault

No one wants to watch cooking shows anymore when they can spend 5 seconds looking for a highly rated recipe with an instructional video online for free
This is why competition shows are taking over

This is also why the history channel went to shit
They lose their core viewers to the Internet and then have to appease the few viewers that tv has left

This is my defense of Guy Fieri

Basically, guy fieris douchebag appearance was designed so he could win next food network star, which he did. If playing a character like that would get you a lucrative career, wouldn't you do that? Prior to that he was a relatively successful restauranteur, which is not an easy task--he started Johnny Garlic's with very little startup capital (I think 100k?) and ended up turning it into a chain. The dude's got hustle, and if the world respects terminally uncool hustlers why can't they respect guy fieri?

Now take his show: a lot of food network shows focus around places that aren't necessarily accessible to your common man. Instead of focusing on exotic locales or high end gourmet places, guy focuses on American food that's within the reach of Americans.

I ran the numbers too. DDD is food network's top rated show among most of (what I can guess are) their key demos. People say they want smart cooking shows but surprise surprise people are full of shit.

His follow up show guys grocery games is about getting families to cook together using ingredients that are accessible to your average American consumer. How can you hate on that?

His restaurants aren't necessarily terrible in concept. He takes clasic American food and gives it a spin and a schticky name. Conceptually (the suff he does) it's actually a cool concept--exposing middle America to maybe new flavors they wouldn't otherwise experience The mediocre review was more about the shitty logistical failures of the staff, but how much of that is guy's fault really?

Lastly, he's an Oakland Raiders fan which is awe some

I liked it at first between Brown being Brown and legit screwing over someone, but then the sabotages just got so complicated that you wonder if they're actually hindering them sometimes.

It's really sad that only one person ever stopped and thought "hey, I can win this without losing all my money" and it was a special episode.

>Watch any episode of his show. He might actually be autistic.

?

Seriously, man, when is he an asshole on his show? To me it looks like he makes all the people at the restaurants he visits feel at ease so they can let go, if they have some hardcore foreign accents he subtly repeats what they say so the viewers understand it without the need for subtitles, he has some cheeky things to say but they're never mean-spirited and he loves the food. Am I watching another version of DDD than you guys?

I actually met Guy when my parents dragged me to some live show he was doing. I talked to him and he seemed like a generally nice dude. I think he's just a bit dorky from a young persons perspective and some autists just get mad about that. He's definitely the food networks 40-50 year old market. I blame reddit.

I see Guy as this actually popular dude who invites everybody to his parties, not just the cool kids but everybody because he just wants everyone to have fun and a good time.
And then he'll play Smash Mouth and everybody sings along and stuff

lol. just because you only experience things through 4chan, doesn't mean everyone does. i've been watching his show since it premiered, and my opinion of him hasn't changed. he's a douchebag who is fun to mock and laugh at, but he goes to good restaurants.

I catch myself watching lesser cooking networks just for the sake of variety. I'd much rather see Martin Yan cook peasant food than Guy eating it.
Bobby Flay shows are only good when he loses and even Chopped is getting stale with that pretentious Indian woman with hubris as bad as Sanchez.

I.. I think it's just time to move on.

i was nearly drove over atleast twice every other month by the same guy(not fieri) next to a restraunt he reviewed.
not sure if the guy who kept trying to ran me over worked there (i've always thought he has cause i constantly saw his car in the parking lot) but knowing that a possible asshole got good reviews sucks ass.

Holy fuck this show was so good.

What I hate most about Guy Fieri is that his presence is completely non-essential. Whether you love or hate Bourdain and Zimmern they at least provide a coherent narrative, while Fieri doesn't really do anything but shout catch-phrases, interrupt to shout out ingredients he recognizes, shove food into his mouth and make female cooks visibly uncomfortable. He doesn't really contribute anything to DD&D that any other paid actor off the street couldn't do.
