- mdg 16y agoI would say Food Network shows DO show a lot of faces. They are very much about selling a brand. Just walking through the local Target housewares aisle, I see Rachel Ray, Giada, Paula Deen, Barefoot Contessa, Bobby Flay, etc, all with their own brand of cooking accessories.
- BrandonM 16y agoOf course you are right, but there are also several shows that spend a lot of camera time on up-close shots of the food and the food preparation process, only occasionally showing the host. Those are the ones that I was referring to.
- pavel_lishin 16y agoIron Chef does a decent job of this. I wish they offered different "cuts" of episodes - I don't care about anything the judges have to say until they're chewing.
- nickbw 16y agoAnimal Planet shows animal faces. Anything with a recognizable mouth and set of eyes is still pretty engaging to our wetware. (In fact, I just tried "Animal Planet" on Google images, and got mostly face shots -- human and otherwise.)
- BrandonM 16y agoGood point, but I was responding to this quote: "You wouldn't watch that show unless it had a lot of humans in it, preferably attractive ones, showing their faces." Not sure why I deserved a downvote.
