..Another foodie here too 
I love 30 minute meals, unwrapped, Cooking Live and Food Finds. But my favorite by far is Alton Brown/ Good Eats. He's such a geek, and it's always funny to see what crazy things he is going to cook with. I also like knowing a bit of the science behind cooking, it makes it easier for me be more creative if I know the basic science behind ingredients and methods. I've learned so much from that show. I'd take Alton over Tyler anyday!
Don't get me wrong, Tyler is nice to watch. and it's even funny when women flirt with him- but I don't learn anything or get inspired to make anything because of that show. JMO
As much as I like FoodTV there are some shows I don't like... How to Boil Water.. he is soo condescending and the women don't seem to have any respect for themselves.. I just dont want to think that they are as dumb as they act! Molto Mario.. I just don't have the attention span for it, and is it me or does it seem like he is always making the same 2 or 3 dishes?
Thanks to food network.. I've tried alot of things I probably wouldn't have touched. It's nice that they have a great website to back it up with all the recipe info. Also, if you go online while the show is on, the episode information and recipes are right there for you, very cool!
