ok fine, the one's where the help someone turn around their restaurant don't. but that's like one hour out of 24. name another show that doesn't prominently feature someone going through the steps of cooking a dish

those shows don't really provide hard recipes. they are entertainment focused.
but even at that, the food network shouldn't be about just providing recipes. with the internet we can get any recipes we want. the food network should really be about teaching the finer points of cooking: when it's appropriate to use different mother sauces, which spices pair well with other spices, how to alter base recipes to hone them to your taste (alton brown did this a lot, e.g. see his chocolate chip cookie episode), etc.
they do very little of this now, especially since some of the better shows (good eats, molto mario) have gone off the air.

They have tons of cooking clinic shows, like Guy Fierie's Outdoor Kitchen! (Saturdays 10AM EST/7AM PST). But you can't have a whole network of boring, but admittedly interesting, instructionals. You got spice it up.
