HGTV Fall Thread 2024

The Harrisburg episode of "In With The Old" on Magnolia.....

Cute-ish daddy with deep blue eyes

and

Suspiciously muscular young Amish men.

Which episode was that R1? We just started the new season.

R2

S6/E7 - Old Uptown Revival: The Heart of Harrisburg

I will shout from the rooftops that THE WORST show on HGTV is Fixer to Fabulous - the middle aged Arkansas couple from Bentonville.

Her voice is SO irritating - it sounds like she has a hearing problem, because she vocalizes in a way that sounds like deaf people talking.

But the REAL shitshow is their 'after' - all they do is simple remodeling we've seen a 1000 times and then they put in the most beige/greige/cream landscape of HomeGoods worthy shit.

ZERO design - seriously. Plus they usually do small renovations - a new kitchen (we're going to knock this wall out and make it open concept! Brave!) and bathrooms. The problem is a whole new everything is going to be an improvement, no matter fucking what.

He's a hot daddy - but they're both so thorough unimpressive. The Mississippi couple is 10x better - and they actually know about design periods and produce different designs.

These 2 produce the most standard Home Depot / HomeGoods combinations - it makes my blood boil.

If you edited out R4's name of the show and the names of the hosts, the same could be said for virtually any other HGTV house renovation show.

It comes down to, I think, personal likes and dislikes,of the host(s) and the methods of renovation.

I happen to like Jenny and Dave, but reading R4, I realized how many shows I don't. like for the same reasons R4 listed.

They are all becoming indistinguishable, to a degree, other than personalities. Very rarely do we ever learn anything about renovation or construction. It's all spectacle and reveals.

RIP HGTV

R5 - I have to disagree. Look at their 'afters' in the episodes. It literally looks like an area from a HomeGoods store. And this specific example was for family of theirs.

It's boring - like the least interesting stuff I've ever seen. It's a new low for HGTV - seriously. They're AWFUL.

Example #2:

It's SOOO fucking awful. The window pane with the wreath - the big ass Roman numeral clock, the huge lanterns, the lack of pattern.

Literally stuff you'd walk by in HomeGoods.

I've never seen an HGTV show with the interiors THIS bad.

Most of those shows are little more than product placements for Wayfair or some other basic stuff company. The unique taste of millions.

I think this is as close as you're going to get.

I saw an episode of "Love It Or List It" featuring bickering married gay Toronto cops.

They had a huge collection of boots and the top daddy was clearly a rage queen. But I get he lays some great pipe.

I wanna know if any Toronto DLers see them out and about.

Why is Shea going with Keith and Evan to New Orleans?

They say all real estate is local, so why is a local from Detroit trying to sell real estate in NO.

I'm guessing they had to mix it up with Keith and Evan and they sent them to New Orleans instead of Italy where they sent others. I'm less likely to watch them now that they've sold out. Unless N.O. is one and done. What happened to "We'll never leave Detroit.?"

Through the magic of television, Shea now has a license to sell real estate in Louisiana, I suppose.

I doubt Evan/Keith are doing all the work or that Shea is selling (she's probably licensed only in MI).

But they're going as stars of the show, not actual working people.

This is their version of the Dave and Jenny went to Italy business. Everyone in the last few years has had to have their own little special project on the side made into a short term show and this must be there.

Hmm, that reminds me, haven't seen Dave Marrs and his VPL outline in his jeans for a while.

*this must be theirs.

Yeah, Italy was the place to go,

The Magnolia Network (pitooey) even sent the Maine Cabin Masters to Italy. The Maine Cabin Masters!

(They do have my favorite redneck - Jedi.)

Okay, back to HGTV and Shea's wigs.

Evan and Keith are really doing great work that most of these other 'designers' would totally turn their nose up at.

They are truly renovating communities, saving tear-downs, and providing renovated small affordable homes.

They should be given a fucking medal - those homes are DISASTERS.

Shea's hair is LAIDT!

The Laurel folks and Dave and Jenny in Arkansas may be super straight but they always seem to have the hottest clients pop up.

My pants still get all twitchy when I see the Home Town episode with their friend Shuff. He was a sexy motherfucker. I would take a break from eating Josh's ass to get familiar with all parts of him.

I miss Chase Looney entirely too much. The sheer amount of muscle he put on since leaving the show is amazing.

His biceps in some of the last few Fixer to Fab episodes he was on were massive. Definite JO material.
