Rachael Ray's show might get thrown into the garbage bowl

by Sarah J. Gim, Posted Mar 13th 2008 @ 4:15PM

Unfortunately, it's only her syndicated daytime show on ABC, not all 9,832 of Rachael Ray's other shows on the Food Network. According to an "impeccable" source to New York Post's Page Six, "They are seriously talking about taking her off the air."

Is her grin too scary? Too much Yum-o? Apparently, it's her ratings, which was a meager 2.2 when the show debuted two years ago, and has dropped down to a measly 2.0. Yikes.

I for one, agree with Bob's commentary...if I'm going to watch a cooking show, I want to learn something, which is why I love "Good Eats", eventhough I find Alton Brown to be almost as annoying as Rachel Ray.

And people like hearing what she says about food. No one cares what she has to say to celebrities...or what she has to say about anything important.
But you'd think that she'd last longer than Martha Stewart, whose "host chat" is incredibly boring and spends much of her time plugging her new line of stuff from Macy's.

Her books, magazine and cooking gear all sell well too. She must be doing something right. She's not sitting at home or work commenting about others like the rest of us. She is successful for a reason.
