Coup d' Alton Brown

Watching some of the promos for the new crop of FN shows, I ponder how to make the channel better. Then it hits me. Simple really. More Alton Brown and his shows and less of the other crap that circulates the channel's lineup.

Really, this will work. AB makes amazing shows. Entertaining. Informative. Fun. All around, hands down, the best stuff on that network of food.

Have you seen some of the new crap that FN has rolled out for January? Saying it sucks would be paying it a high complement.

I know with Good Eats it is more quality rather than quantity. And I'd rather he continue to make his great show than just make more. But wouldn't be nice (not breaking out into a Beach Boys song, btw) if AB churned out a few more episodes than he normaly does. Unfortunately, with no more "Feasting" programs on the horizon the prospect of more airtime for AB will be a little more difficult. But there still is Iron Chef America. And during his event in Nashville, Alton mentioned there would be another Next Iron Chef contest.

Well can AB really take over Food Network... not really. But we can only hope the programming people will stop with the crap and elevate the greatness they have. :)
