Factoids and Statistics on Skill Gaining
Oddysey:
According to the Prima Guide (Warning: Crapola ahead.) elders love the Yummy channel, toddlers and adults like it, teens dislike it, and children hate it.
I'll put this on my list of "things to test." TV reactions are something I knew off the top of my head for TS1 but don't know much about in TS2, mostly because my sims rarely watch TV. Flamingos provide all the fun they need, and socialization is managed by parties (Socialize--friends) and autoyak.

Okay, gonna show my ignorance here. Personal trainer? How do I access that? This is something different than an iinstructor for the obstacle course or punching bag, right? And what does personality have to do with it?
And what is this Yummy for learning cooking? Only place I have seen that is when sims smell food and say it smells yummy. Surely they are not learning to cook simply by smelling.
Okay, you can only get a personal trainer if you have the University EP. Then take your student to the gym. If you have no body skill points it shouldn't take long before you get a coach to help your Sim, or rather.. a personal trainer.
Now, The Yummy Channel will teach your Sims to cook and all they have to do is watch that channel on television. So if you have a couch potato you'll learn really fast. Expect some early cooking failure, like burning an omlete the first time they cook one. Just cancel the serve and make them throw it away and have them make another omlete. It will be a good and bad memory for your Sim.
Hope I helped.

Really? I have my teens watch the Yummy channel all the time (gives the TV SOME use), and they never seem to complain or change it when I don't want them to. Or are they talking about how much the fun increases/decreases?

The fun caps, yes. Yummy's fun cap is lower for lower age groups. It creates somewhat of an obnoxious ADHD effect that is auto-corrected by the Skillinator. I mean, seriously, dunno what Maxis was thinking: You CLEARLY watch Yummy for the SKILL BONUS, *NOT* just for the fun. Besides, Yummy is clearly the most hilarious channel to watch by far. Okay, maybe it's because I'm an elder....but come on, doesn't everyone else agree? Yummy is CLEARLY the best channel. Where else can you watch Martha Stewart catch fire? It would only be made funnier if she was in some nice orange prison jammies while hosting the show. :P
MsMaria:
Orange jammies. That would be a hoot. Maybe it will be in NightLife. :P
