Am I the only one HOOKED on HGTV
#131
I still watch but only if I'm channel surfing. I love David B. but now that he is back in Miami I just can't relate to the "over the top" style of decorating there. I still watch because he is such "eye candy". The networks have to be about money so since many people don't have the disposal income to craft they have to change the format. I wish I would meet one of the hosts at the hardware store. I need a new kitchen, they can do anything they want. Still better than watching things like the fake reality shows.

I agree with everyone about Mike Holmes - he's great. I am also amazed about how naive people are when it comes to buying a home: they get hung up on the decor and location (though this can be important), rather than more important things like structural issues. Or they want this and that, but at their price - sometimes I amazed that people find a place on House Hunters. That's why I like Property Brothers and Income Property. They cover both parts. Also Property Virgins, where Sandra teaches them and makes them face what they can really afford.
As far as craft shows, I agree I miss them, but obviously money powers the show and HGTV apparently can't find any big money sponsors for craft shows. That is probably why most of the craft shows have gone online. Though petitioning has worked for saving other shows, so I think I will go to hgtv.com and add my "voice" to the requests.

I love HGTV. I get ideas from the different decorating shows and marvel at how they get things done on the cheap. When they say "we built this for $100.00" and it is an item that you know a carpenter would charge an arm and a leg plus a few of your quilting fingers, I just shake my head. I too try to guess the house that the couple will buy and I am getting better at guessing by listening to what they say at each house. Sometimes I am completely befuddled as to their pick and think that these guys will be house hunting again in the near future. I love the property brothers and think "no way."

I LOVE HGTV!!!!!!!!
I have been hooked on that channel since 1995 (approximately).
Of course there has been MANY changes to the programming format
and programs offered than there was back then.
My TOP programs to watch are Holmes Inspection, Holmes on Homes,
House Hunters (sometimes the International not often though), Design
on a Dime, Property Brothers.
I always loved watching Deserving Design with Vern Yip, but I guess they
took it off the air to bad, it was one of my favorites to watch.
