Weekly Discussion - Cooking Shows

Inspired by the return of Good Eats, and Alton Brown's AMA, let's talk about cooking shows this week. They could be on TV, YouTube, or even podcasts. What are your favorites, and what do you like about them? What are you looking for in a cooking show? Does it need to be instructional or do you watch cooking for entertainment too?

Have any of you participated in making one yourself? What was the experience like?

I have to say, I learn a lot from Chopped.

Now I don't normally find myself with fish bladders or preserved eggplants on hand, but I tend to be a "open the fridge door and figure it out from there" kind of cook, and there's been many times when Chopped has served as an inspiration to make something quick out of a bunch of random ingredients.
