I was TOTALLY devastated seeing the waste and destruction of the vintage items on Flip or Flop. One word... RECYCLE!
I use to like this show as I like the "charitable" aspect of it. Doing something good for others. I now realize that this is nothing short of the biggest con of all times. This is is a business for these two. Erin tried to come across as this sweet, meek and mild woman however, in reality she is manipulative, driven and extremely competitive person. She deliberately sets people up by using her child (she will show a picture without showing her face). That is fine but as soon as someone comments, she is all over them about "how dare they criticize her" why do this? She wants the attention. She wants to be able to jump all over them about her privacy. If she wants privacy, then fine. Don't even go there.
The Venus commercial on Rock the Block tonight was inappropriate! We are watching HGTV to see beautiful homes and watching girls shave their pubic hairs was embarrassing and offensive.
These third-rate fixer upper shows are starting to all look alike. Three hanging lights over the kitchen island, the dimwitted husband-host knocks out a wall with a sledgehammer, the smarter perky wife-host saves the day with the same-o design solutions. The clueless young owner's say "amazing! Awesome! Absolutely!"... where's Bob Vila and Norm? Geez!,,,,
House Hunters and House Hunters International script the shows with couples that don't agree on anything. Apparently, they think conflict creates interest. Bickering couples turn me off and I change the channel. I love seeing the houses, but real couples usually agree on generalities. The scripting makes the show look even more fake than it really is.
The scripts are written by people who are in the real estate industry, and the vocabulary used is "realtorese", not the way the general public speaks. And many of the house seekers are stereotypes, looking for stereotypical features. That also adds to the fakeness. They need new writers.
HGTV review
HGTV is and has been one of my favorite channels. During this pandemic, I take a break from watching movies and I am back to watching HGTV. It is shocking to see that it still does not uphold safety of menial laborers. Construction workers cut or drill stone, or cut or sand or varnish wood and particles are flying all over and the workers do not wear mouth, nose, and eye protection! Those people are being exposed to carcinogens and it won't be a surprise that they're minimum wage earners and don't have health insurance! HGTV being a show that features professional home designers, contractors and even architects should do better than that!
Just tired of all the house remodeling, all look the same. Where is the garden in hGtv? Want to see Gardening.
Either respectfully "restore" old farm houses or just STOP! E.g. Stop painting 200 year old pine woodwork bright blue (and say you are disappointed it's not walnut?). Stop painting brick. We get enough tacky decorating on other HGTV shows. Dump Kristina and get a professional restoration expert with historical knowledge!
This is the worst reality, renovation show ever conceived! No one wants to see an obese, sweaty, low talent bearded hick and his doughy, child like water paint-by-numbers long chinned fool! Their town is a dump! Their lack of talent is evident. Yet, you choose to put this neatly wrapped crap, on every day, all day. Why? Is it to entertain your un-educated, lazy, fat, typical southern audience? The ratings have to be in the tank! You can do, you have to do better!
I have been a fan of Nate since he was on Oprah, years ago. So I was excited to see him back with his show, Save My House. The problem is that I can't bear to watch it because Jeremiah totally monopolizes the conversation. I trust Nate and appreciate his design skills and his ideas. I also like his demeanor with the families they work with. Jeremiah on the other hand dominates the ideas and the conversation. It's painful to watch. Can you tone him down? When he gets going it seems like the wind is taken out of Nate's demeanor and he just submits to Jeremiah's dominance.
I love the shows offered, however, they are too repetitive as well as the commercials. I can rewind shows but often I watched them all and then have to change the channel. I rewind through commercials too.
I'm sure you must have thousands of shows but it appears you really-run the same shows over and over again!
I understand Covid may have stopped new productions but the repeated shows a ridiculous to say the least.
I am calling our cable company to have them remove or replace your shows!
I enjoy this show, the relationship between mom and daughter is nice-respectful. Designs ideas and decor are also good. What I HATE is the music especially the singing it just doesn't fit with the concept. The song choices are terrible and distracting I actually turn the channel when the music is playing!
I love all your home re-do's, but the Moffett house had to be the worst one ever. I wished you would have change the front door out
I have enjoyed Home Town. But they are already playing reruns on the new stuff out. And what's incredible is that they want us to pay to watch chip and joannes 8 yr old shows. For yrs they have ran reruns of the same season! Today they make a big deal of bringing Fixer Upper back and guess what, yep, it's a rerun from 2015 that they have "reran" constantly for years already! Bad enough that we are in a pandemic, but now you want to charge us more since we're stuck at home! What $#*!s!
HGTV producers need to listen critically to the dialog of theirs and other home improvement shows and note how repetitive certain phrase are during these shows. Comments like: I love it! Wow! Open concept. Oh my God (gosh, goodness, word), it's coming together, etc. Expressed multiple times in every show, over and over again makes it hard to watch these shows. One has to assume the writers on these shows are basically illiterate or they pay no attention to how often these boring cliches are repeated.
I've noticed several new shows in 2021, howver none have hosts who are people of color. What happened to Eygpt Sherrod, for example? Please be more inclusive. There are a lot of talented, entertaining designers of color that could be featured in your programming line up. You may lose another long term viewer.
HGTV, CAN YOU PLEASE STOP WITH THE HOME TOWN CAMPAIGN? This show is not everyone's cup of tea as other viewers have indicated. You have campaigned this show almost EVERY weekend for weeks :(.
As for Christina on the Coast, it's a flop, accept it and CANCEL!
Please provide more of a variety; such as, Love It or List It, House Hunters, Flipping 101, etc. These are great shows and we want more of them in the schedule, PLEASE!
Give your viewers a break and reduce the recurring campaigns of the same shows (Home Town, Fixer Upper, Windy City Rehab, Good Bones, and Property Brothers (rip offs). It has gotten very old.
Please do us ALL a favor and cancel this horrendous show! Erin and her husband lack talent and have zero experience in home renovations. Her decorating skills are AWFUL! Get rid of them...
I wanted to like this show, but I really can't get that invested when someone can't afford a home with a pool that is in the $3-4 million range. I don't understand who the target audience is for this show that would be sympathetic to "setbacks" like I mentioned above. Seems like HGTV has setup Clinton Kelly for failure here. In reality it is really not much different at all from "My Lottery Dream Home" which I also don't watch often.
Answer: There are SO many commercials for Hometown ( more than 6 per hour), I won't be watching it because I am sick of the couple posing and posing. So many commercials mean something is wrong with the show. HELP PLEASE!
Answer: I agree! Landscapes, gardening... something that blends in vegetation to give a nice break from home remodels.
