We totally LOVE the Food Network and watch it A LOT, especially on the weekends. The only channel that gets more play in our house is the Disney Channel. My favorite show on there is Barefoot Contessa. My little girl's favorite is Semi-Homemade.

I don't watch much reality TV either (pretty much just American Idol), but I like the Next Food Network Star. I didn't care much who won (as long as it wasn't Carissa -- didn't care for her), but what I really enjoyed was the behind-the-scenes aspect of it. It definitely makes you appreciate how tough it is to have a cooking show (no matter how easy or fun it looks!) and how skilled the people who do it well really are. I also enjoy seeing the hosts/chefs that I really like in a different role and setting.
