If you're a pro, I can't imagine you'd learn anything from Food Channel shows. They're not too deep.
Personally, as an amateur, I like Alton Brown's semi-educational take on ingredients and processes. I find Iron Chef a hoot, for the high-pressure artistry and the Japanese kitsch to boot.
As noted previously, the really classy cooking shows are on public television. You may still have to get cable in many areas, but you probably get PBS with the bottom-tier package.
The Sopranos, well, that's a whole different bowl of meatballs.
