I don't watch it as much as I used to. But I have two new favorite shows; Dina's Party and Donna Decorates Dallas. Love them!!

I watch this day and night.
I'm a HGTV junkie !!

I too used to watch it or record it - but I was hooked on the sewing and crafting shows. Now that they have taken them off, I never watch. Too bad, really enjoyed Simply Quilts, Carol Duval Show and Sewing with Nancy. But, now I have you all to give me great ideas. Enjoy this much better. jody

I used to watch the craft and sewing shows. However, the powers that be changed all that. Apparently, because of licencing agreements between our two countries it is not allowed. It is so silly. I can view the site but I cannot watch the videos.

I watch more DIY, I become very disenchanted with HGTV when they took off all the crafting/quilting shows/gardening shows. I loved Carol Duvall but understand why she retired, but can't they still show reruns ? probably something to do with royalties. I loved that show Trash to Treasure where she showed how to to turn ordinary things into something usuable. Oh well, times change as do shows and I guess I will watch more DIY and History channel now. Even FoodNetwork has lost my vote of confidence. OH well .. "-)

I gave up on most of HGTV.....I do like to watch Antiques Roadshow, I think that is on PBS, also Masterpiece Theatre, also I guess on PBS local station. I don't watch any of those hoarder, pawn, biker, trucker "things".......and most of the cooking shows are so intense I would not attempt to cook any of that stuff. I used to like Rachael Ray, but she has gotten too Hollywood and some of her stuff is over the top.......and Paula D's accent has gotten is even more pronounced now.........and some of her recipes are not to my liking.....so I will just watch my favs....ncis, criminal minds, castle, menalist.....they are on demand so I can watch them during the day or whenever I miss the original broadcast. I guess in reality I prefer the radio talk shows......

Oh -- I do agree!! I loved Carol Duvall!! I may watch HGTV once in a blue moon now -- used to watch it all the time 10 years ago. Since I am not buying, selling or remodeling I don't find much I am interested in.

I miss Carol's Chirstmas craft programs -- I used to be glued to the TV then.

Used to be, I speed right past it when surfing channels these days. No crafts, no quilting = no good for me.
