Old HGTV shows

[krystee]

Inspired by the Trading Spaces reboot, what shows do you with HGTV would bring back?

I loved so many...I really liked the one where three designers presented their ideas, they chose one, and then you saw the finished product (I don't remember the name at all). I also liked Candice Olsen's show a lot.

I feel like home decor is more popular than ever, yet all they show are real estate shows. I'm over it.

Moving up with Doug. I liked watching the old homeowners come back and get super mad.

I loved Sarah’s house. I’ve recently discovered she still has shows on HGTV Canada.

I also loved Bryan Beaulmers shows. He’s also still go shows on HGTV Canada.

I really need to figure out how to get HGTV Canada in the US.

Also I believe the 3 designer show was designers challenge.

Current HGTV needs to bring back some of the garden/outdoor living/curb appeal shows.

I forgot about this show but loved it. I’m friends on Facebook with the wife of the couple that bought our house. I enjoy seeing posts as of the house.

Anything with Mike Holmes.

I liked While You Were Out and Clean Sweep the best, but those were both TLC I think, not HGTV.

Anything with Sarah Richardson and the one with Sabrina Soto (I think it was called High & Low or something like that).

I loved those! So many good shows that have been replaced with horrible Duggar/Honey Boo Boo type stuff on TLC and the exact same show in like 400 slightly different formats on HGTV.

There was a show a while ago that only had one season. No idea what it was called, and I think it was on HGTV but can't remember. Anyway, there were several families and they each reno'd the same room in their house each week and then there was a vote on which was the best. I loved it, and then never saw another season.

I also liked Love It or List It Too. The original pair was too obnoxious, but I liked the pair on Too.


I'm so tired of Fixer Upper and Flip or Flop in one billion cities.

was coming to add this. he is the BEST. we seriously learn so much from watching his shows. sometimes they run on the DIY network

[simpsongal]

I just realized that I haven't watched HGTV in a long time. I agree w/most of the above - particularly Candace Olsen, Sarah Richardson, etc.

I cannot watch one more real estate show on that stupid channel.

I can't even remember the last time that I watched HGTV. I think it might have been one of the newer couples that fix up houses, but we only watched because we were curious. We don't even really check to see what is on there anymore.

I miss all of the design shows. Sarah Richardson is definitely nms, but she can mix patterns and colors like no other, and I enjoyed her shows. Loved Candice Olson.

One of my favorite shows was one of the last winners of Design Star's show. I think it was Danielle Colding.....I loved her show and her style. Actually, I enjoyed Design Star and liked some of the winners shows. I enjoyed The White Room Challenge too.

Mike Holmes is the worst. He is a tv personality, not a skilled contractor. I have been hearing things about him for years, (people who have hired his company, people who have been on the show, people who have done the work for his shows), and none of them have been favorable.

Bryan Baumler(sp?) has actual skills and seems to get a lot more respect from other people in the construction business. I would much rather watch his shows than Mike Holmes.

Not HGTV, but I really like watching reruns of This Old House on PBS. But it frustrates me that there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the order they air them in. So you may catch episode 3.09 and they continue on into the next episode and want to watch that, but the next one they air is 8.04.

really? this is disappointing. as I said above I really like him and have learned a lot from his shows.

I loved Candice Olson. I hate all the flipping and real estate shows that seem to have cluttered up their programming.

Christopher Lowell!! Am I showing my age? He made hilarious comments and was a good designer.

[sju]

Divine Design (?) by Candice Olson. Loved her designs.

I totally forgot about him. I loved watching his show in college.

You know what I want? I want to watch a "where are they now" of HGTV episodes.

Tiny house hunters - how long did that obnoxious couple live in the old school bus?
Flip or Flop (every city) - at the end of some episodes they're all "still waiting on an offer, time will tell..." I want to know how those ended. DID THEY LOSE MONEY?
Beach house - did they really rent it out to offset their mortgage? They always estimate SO MUCH rental income...was it accurate?
Curb appeal - how does it look now? did it inspire other neighbors to spruce up their homes?

So many possibilities...

I want Ahmed Hassan back on Yard Crashers.

And then I want him to come do my yard.

I can't stand Matt Bladshaw. He annoys the shit out of me.

[bbdoll]

I can't remember the name of it, but it was the one where they took a high-end designer room and made a room that looked very similar for much less money.

my take is that if they didn't show the final sale price - or said "waiting on an offer" - then they took a loss!
