Good Eats is the only cooking show that I watch, and I watch it every week.
Alton Brown just appeals to the Geek in me. I can certainly see why some people might not like him but for a nerd like me he's the perfect host. His approach to teaching cooking is more about how things work rather than; here is a recipie for cheese sauce (for example).
To paraphrase an old proverb:
If you give a man a recepie for cheese sauce he'll have one meal; if you teach a man how to use a roux to base a sauce on, he will cook for a lifetime.
