Baking It

This is a show that I hope is here a long time! This will become a part of a new Christmas tradition to watch this during the holiday season! This could be a Christmas staple like "Christmas Vacation". Thoroughly enjoyed Maya & Andy. Feel in love with the grandmothers! PERFECT CASTING FOR THE 1st season. Standing Ovation for the production team and the Set. I appreciated how short the ads were during commercial breaks and enjoyed the humor with the musicals. Concept and theme had continuity. Great product for the next generation. Applause to Amy and her staff! 10 out of 10 for remaining authentic and creative!

I'm already sad it's over. I get so sick of the manufactured drama of most cooking and baking shows. Even my favorite (The Great British Baking Show) has more drama than I'd like. This show is just completely drama-free and wholesome. It's also hilarious, with the help of Andy and Maya, who have great chemistry. The whole concept of grannies being the judge is just brilliant and hysterical.

Just a lovely show all around. Hope they do it every year.

The ONLY reason I'm watching this is because of Andy and Maya. There's 1000 cooking/baking shows and 10,000 holiday cooking/baking shows so this one stands out because of the hosts. Then the bakers are awesome and judges hilarious.

The contestants and challenges are fun. The grannies are simply delightful and a blast. However, most of the advertising implied Amy Poehler would be on the show for more than 6 seconds. But she is not. To be honest, the "comedic bits" with Maya and Andy after commercials are unwatchable...simply atrocious. I began fast forwarding through them for my own sanity. I'd enjoy it more if the grannies hosted instead. They have personality and great opinions and never feel like they're there to waste time. Maya and Andy seem ok when they interact with contestants, being more natural. The scripted bits must go!

Unfortunately the hosts for this show are really bringing it down. The contestants are fun. All the holidays are included via what the pairs choose, so there's a little non offensive something for everyone. The grannies rock!! In fact they make the show.
