Magnolia Table with Joanna Gaines

I watch on Discovery+, so I pay for the channel. I watch a lot of the shows on this channel. I find her relaxing and fun to watch. My only issue is that many, not all, of the recipes have higher cost ingredients that so many folks can't fit into the budget these days. Not a cooking show for the family budget. Example is the guyere cheese she uses a lot. I constantly have to Google substitute products and guyere cheese doesn't have a good one. But I watch it more for relaxing entertainment anyway.

I own her cookbooks-which is why I enjoy watching her make the recipes. I really don't get the negativity. If you don't want to pay for the network.. then don't! Duh! No one isn't forcing you! I personally think it motivates me to cook more! Choose whatever cook show that works for you. There's some that bores me to death... but why waste time spreading negative energy.

As much as I like Chip and Jo I am tired of seeing reruns. Cooking shows are on the food channel and that's a good place for them. I thought Magnolia would improve this channel but I like DIY better.

I like Jo. Used to watch Fixer Upper religiously. This was a new venture and I get trying to branch out and attempt new avenues so you dont become bored but this... is not a good combo. I understand theres a settling period when changing work but she seemed out of place/ uncomfortable from the get go. The recipes seemed unfamiliar to her almost like there was need to do a run through at least before turning on the cameras. Energy seemed very off and I personally had a hard time watching more than a few episodes because it made me itchy. This isn't to say I wouldn't try to rewatch a later season sometime in the future but I'm not sure how this show as it is can get comfortable and make it that far in the future. The shows' crew doesn't even seem to enjoy what they're making.

This is the worst station on television if I wanted to look at cooking shows or country western singing I would turn to them I want to see housing shows not this nonsense, you are good with decorating stick with that and grow your shows on decorating or just leave things alone you are not getting people to watch this network you are getting people to run away from your network l was all for your new network until nothing good was happening, so I'm backing away and just sticking with HGTV cause you're not bringing anything new and exciting to the table.
