abstract
  • FN rose to fame in the late 1990s, after picking up Emeril Lagasse's show Essence Of Emeril and its hit follow-on Emeril Live; he was the face of the network for many years until Rachael Ray and 30-Minute Meals came along. Also the network that was willing to take a chance on a certain offbeat cooking-science show back in 1999, as well as introducing most of the USA to Iron Chef, a show whose exposure had been limited mainly to the Bay Area before then. Has been accused of some level of Network Decay, with the biggest complaint being that the how-to shows aren't as technically rigorous as they used to be (Semi-Homemade is usually held up as the worst example of this) and that the channel has been focusing too much on documentaries and reality shows (albeit, a bit of a natural progression from the popularity of Iron Chef). Despite all that, even the most ill-advised shows have been at least tangentially about food, thus sticking to the basic premise in some way.
