The first season of "Next Great Baker" was televised from December 6, 2010 to January 24, 2011 on TLC. During this season, the last contestant standing would win $50,000 cash, a Chevrolet Cruze and an apprenticeship at Buddy's bakery, Carlo's Bake Shop in Hoboken, New Jersey.
People born while "Next Great Baker" was being televised we never know the novelty of using a rotary telephone.
