Hello, HGTV?
When are you going to put a good home design crafting show on tv? Because (big drumroll here) people love to make things for their homes. Do you look at pinterest? I think I'm not the only one out there that would watch something like this. And because if I see one more episode of House Hunters I will stab myself in the eye with a fork.
never mind....a spoon!
ReplyDeleteAMEN!
ReplyDeletesing it, sister!
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL God they do play that house hunters TO DEATH, don't they?
ReplyDeleteIt's on EVERY time I turn HGTV on. And like 4 episodes in a row! And in reality, I'm pretty sure people are allowed to chose from more than 3 houses. I don't even get the whole premise. And House Hunters International? That would be great if you happened to be a) from the country that the buyers are from and you also happen to be b) looking for a home in the country they are looking in, but, seriously, how many people find each of those episodes relevant? Like 2 people in the entire rest of the world? Who happen to be English looking for housing in Prague? Or Australian looking for housing in Jakarta? Or American looking for housing in Barbados? Who freaking cares? How can they be so out of touch?! I'll tell you guys, since I'm hanging out down here in the comments with you tonight, that it was HGTV that initially started me on my crafting kick many years back. Peter Fallico. He is a Canadian designer and he had an AWESOME show about how to fix up your home if you're a renter on a budget. It was brilliant. I loved him. Where is Peter Fallico?
ReplyDeleteI swear I turned it on for the first time in over a year tonight and thought the SAME EXACT THING!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!! Couldn't have said it better myself. You know, they used to have some really good ones on....Carol Duvall and my fave was the show where they went around the country and featured different craftspersons - can't remember the name but it was fun! Maybe we need to start a petition??!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel a petition coming on. Check back in a day or two, okay? Have to start baking pies right now, but I'm going to write one up. Should be fun!!!
ReplyDeleteIt even be nice if they could bring in someone like Carol Duvall again. She had so many different kinds of crafts with guest designers that there was something for everyone. They are more interested in cookie cutter designers now. The formula is bright colors, stenciled walls and out with the old or antiques that add character to rooms. I will definitely sign the petition!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I really did like Carol Duvall, too. She's smart and talented and she really showed some new, interesting techniques. Now just amp up the production quality. Some good music. Cute clothes. A little more chic and energetic and fab. That's what I'm looking for.
ReplyDeleteI forgot what network it was on, but I LOVED the show 'Craft Corner Death Match'. What genius thought of that insane show?!
ReplyDeleteAHHHHH!!! I am thinking the same thing! And half of them are re-runs as well! I don't understand why they feel the need to show that show sooooooo much? I recently got laid off, so I'm glad that I can watch it during the day now when the design shows are actually still on. But hten this morning I turned it on and it was House Hunters. again. But I thought to myself, it's only 10 minutes before a design show, I can do it. Then I read your email! Funny timing!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree!! reruns that are years old & sooo boring.
ReplyDeleteLove your comment about stabbing yourself with a fork. I've felt that way about many things ~ and yes, it would be wonderful if HGTV had a good show on crafting. They used to a few years ago. The commenter of the show would go around the country interviewing different crafters ~ it was a great show. Don't know what happened to it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree with everything you said -even the fork!!!
ReplyDeleteI like House Hunters International, but every night? NO. Totally agree. I remember when the Carol Duvall show was on - that was a great crafts show!!!!!! What's happened to shows like that?
ReplyDeleteOh gosh. Just went to HGTV after googling Carol Duvall's last name and they have these short clips with a loud voice over (not Carol's voice)and it all is very busy, clipped segments, and disjointed :( We need another Carol Duvall on TV!
ReplyDeleteAnything but more episodes of House Hunters. Crafters Unite! They do have a show called "That's So Clever" that is on early mornings but it is not home orientated and most of the time, it's just not THAT clever.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I couldn't have said it better myself! I am sick to death of House Hunters over and over and over... we need a crafting show or more decorating/design shows!! A nice mid century modern design show would be a dream come true ...MORE design shows! - I am totally sick of real estate shows - all of them, not just House Hunters... My House, Your Money, Propery Virgins, Income Prperty etc.... I am not in the market to buy a house - I just want decorate mine and do cool crafts! I have to totally rely on the internet for crafting! I would sign a petition for sure!
ReplyDeleteAMEN and AMEN!!
