I'm sort of a cooking show geek. I can watch Martha Stewart bake a pie or Alton Brown explain how a convection oven works any time of the day, even two in the morning. And it's not like I just started watching cooking shows in the past several years because it was hip to do so, I've been watching them since I was a kid. I was rather addicted to The French Chef and The Galloping Gourmet when I was younger.

Both shows make it to our sister site Slashfood's list of the ten greatest cooking shows of all-time.

There are a few changes I'd make. I think America's Test Kitchen should be a lot higher on the list, and Emeril Live probably shouldn't be there at all (maybe he'd be in the top twenty). Also, is the original Iron Chef the greatest cooking show ever? I never enjoy it. Maybe it's the language thing or maybe it's the fact that the secret ingredient is often something disgusting from the sea, but I could never get into that show (though I like the American version).

Really happy to see The Galloping Gourmet on there though. Graham Kerr had one of the more fun cooking shows and was rather ahead of his time when talking about food trends and just had a different take on things.

Any show missing from the list?
