The Food… errrrr, Cake Network.
The “Food Network” should change its name to the “Cake Network”.
There, I’ve said it. We all love cakes. We all love eating cakes. In fact, this is where you should take notes; my favorite cake is chocolate with cream cheese frosting. As much as I enjoy eating cake, I do not enjoy watching other people build 8 foot cakes. Trust me, I’m impressed with their skill as much as I am with someone who can change the oil in my car… but if you’ve watched one person glue rice crispy treats together, form it to look like a Disney character, then cover it with fondant, you’ve seen every episode. I seriously don’t need a cake making marathon running throughout the weekend.
While we’re at it… get rid of Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee. Why don’t you call it, “An attractive blonde woman cooks everything from a box and then put it on a plate, pretending she made it.” Nothing in that show is Semi-Homemade. In fact, its not even Partially-Homemade. The only reason why I don’t go into convulsions while passing that show, is the fact that Sandra Lee is attractive to look at.
What’s going on with the Program Director over at Food Network? Are they running out of shows? I can tell you one thing, get rid of the “Next Food Network Star”. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching this train wreck of a show… but obviously the people who win haven’t done much with their career since Guy Fieri.
I can’t just complain and not offer up a solution. The solution, get better programming so I don’t have to watch 4,000 hours of cake making with Sandra Lee and her friends! Just give me a TV show. I’m 100% sure I’d score better Nielsen ratings than “Miley Cyrus wants a 16th birthday party cake”.
Why can’t ESPN and Food Network join forces? Have a Dodgeball game while someone makes a cake. Let’s see this dude move his cake 5 yards while a rubber ball is heading for his masterpiece. That I’d watch… I might even DVR it.
