I don't watch any of the shows on Food Network to learn how to make dishes. I just try to take away techniques and pretty much any of the cooking oriented shows provide those in some way.
The increasingly pervasive non-cooking shows are generally useless to me. I've learned the occasional thing from Rachel Ray so I am ok with her. I don't watch daytime TV so I don't end up feeling burned out with her. Emeril is annoying but at least he cooks on his show instead of visiting restaurants to be told "sorry, secret recipe" or running video press releases for processed food manufacturers.
