Cooking Shows That Don't Suck

This Salon article on cooking shows was entertaining, and I can't agree more with their take on Good Eats, but I think they missed one: Molto Mario. In 24 minutes, Mario can make you believe you can create good Italian home-cooking, and he's right. He gives you the basics, and the tools for doing pretty much anything you want. After three shows, you'll be braising to your heart's content. And, he's entertaining to boot.

I don't agree that you can't learn anything from Iron Chef. I've learned a lot from it - how to cut up a chicken, carve a roast and some really cool ideas for soups, stews and roasts. Yeah, it's out there, but when you break it down, it's still a cooking show.

You can use Textile formatting in your comments (but no HTML). Here's a quick cheatsheet:

Bold text: *this will be bold*. but this isn't.

If you know the rest, go for it.
