Let The Food Network/HGTV Crossovers Begin
Posted on July 17th 2009 by Jillian Madison

If you occasionally flip to HGTV to get a break from the idiocy that is the Food Network, beware! You’re no longer safe, for someone in the Scripps marketing department finally figured out they could make some money by having their “celebrity” chefs appear on their other TV networks.

guy fieri hgtv design showdown

Warning: Guy Fieri will be invading this weekend’s episode of HGTV Showdown (Sunday at 9). You won’t be able to miss him. He’ll be the useless tool standing around in his best bowling shirt, making a nasty looking Beef Braciola and getting in the way of the designers who are there actually there  to work. Vern Yip, old buddy old pal, I’m thinking you should have called in sick that day.

sandra lee hgtv holiday specials

ADVANCED WARNING: You heard it here, folks!  HGTV will be airing 4 (yes, FOUR) Sandra Lee specials for the 2009 holiday season, called Season of Surprise, Magical Merry Christmas, Winter Wonderland Party, and Holiday Heirloom Family Reunion. Details are scarce at the moment, but apparently Sandra Lee will be helping people throw “sumptuous holiday celebrations” while employing “clever ideas that won’t break the bank.” I’m already foaming at the mouth.

Bottom line: It’s one thing to see Guy and Sandra tooling around on HGTV. But the second I see Carter Oosterhouse on the Food Network flipping an omelet next to Rachael Ray, I’ll totally lose it.

    I won’t be able to miss Guy? FUGEDDABOUTITT! I will spend Sunday night at 9 pm, as I do, watching the Prime Minister’s question time on C-Span, Now that’s entertainment. I’ll probably tivo the Guy thing so that will give me good reason to FF past anything that disgusts me about this overgrown manchild.

    After FN turned to the dark side, I started watching a lot more HGTV. But if they’re going to make Aunt Drunky their new go to girl, I’m through with them too.

    Please tell me this is farce.

    I can barely tolerate this Lush on one channel. Now she’s going to invade HGTV?

    Lollipop,

    Aunt Drunky. LOL :) If she starts serving the Kwanzaa Cake, I’ll be getting the barf bags.

    I’m sorry, but Carter Oosterhouse would be the only thing that could get me to watch Rachael Ray. He could stand there shirtless and hold her garbage bowl, and that would be quality viewing on Food Network.

    Kathy said what I was going to say. Carter O would make the show truly worth watching.

    Actually there is one FN host that would be a good fit on HGTV — Alton Brown.
