comfort food tv

I've been using the food network's app to watch old seasons of various comforting shows, and wow, the early seasons of Good Eats were SUPER cheesy, but I am really enjoying them. I wish he still had the informational guests like the Nutritional Anthropologist or the CDC Food Safety guy, and some (but not all) of the side characters, like W the tool master.  Alton can be kind of a jerk, though. 

Chopped is also the most entertaining food show that does not usually make me hungry, it's just a fun watching experts create show, kind of like Project Runway (which is back on Bravo and back to being a show that focuses on designing clothes rather than manufactured reality contestant drama.)

I have watched all the seasons of Great British Bake-Off other than the ones you have to pirate enough for them to be near memorized, so I can no longer turn to them for comfort.
