I thoroughly recommend this show instead of a continual diet of what passes as the main stream news. It's a nice break and I find it relaxes me. I'm so hooked on it that I watch the re-runs.

I love cooking shows but hate baking shows.
If I wanted to see sculpting shows I would youtube them. All those beautiful intricate cakes are “cakes” in that there is some flour, eggs, sugar and water in them.
The underlying substructures are made of wood, nails, Styrofoam, and God knows what else. Proof if you use enough icing you can pull anything off.
The one thing baking shows are NOT about is actual cooking.

My husband and I are huge fans of the show. It is the most civil competition on television. Each contestant is well mannered, even tempered and normal. Not one profane word is ever spoken.
I’ve seen each season and have yet to have a baker’s backstory muck up the show. It’s all about “the bake”.

Yeah, except for that one season in which the Irishman had a hissy fit during some ice-cream concoction challenge. Reading up on it, it's thought that the producers deliberately shortchanged the bakers on freezer space to create drama. IMO, they could have at least supplied chest or drawer freezers, given that the doors were constantly being opened.
The other show that's almost as civilized, but much more scripted saccharine, is MasterChef Canada.

Sounds like a great alternative, mind you it has been at least two years since I last watched more than ten seconds of CNN. I’ve been binge watching (on You Tube) 1970s BBC produced period piece shows. Saw “Elizabeth R” and am nearly finished “Edward the Seventh” and want to start on “Fall of Eagles”.

I’m pretty sure the brunette with glasses who yells “Bake!” in falsetto is a fur trapper.
I’ve never seen her drink a glass of water.

We love that show. It’s much better than the stuff on Food Network. They are polite even when losing.

You mean there is life on TV, something worth while?
I guess I should forego the CSI reruns a while & check it out.
Thanks.
