HGTV and Fox News are all my mom wants to watch. Help Fixer Upper seems fun to watch but they left the channel like 3 years ago and are making their own poo poo now. Love It or List It is gross to watch because the homeowners are so stupid and picky about their couples problems preventing them on compromising on anything. Flip or Flop... Jesus, where do I even begin? Now please excuse me, I'm gonna go unironically watch a buncha ghost shows on the Travel Channel.

Just turn on house hunters international and enjoy tropical sights and the growing wonder if the single yoga instructor lady who somehow bought a half million dollar home's rich best friend who moved across the world with her to live in her house might be more than just a friend.

Have a sensible chuckle at the young couple about to have their first child insist they need a house close to bars and restaurants, and lots of entertaining space because they host parties a lot.

I heard a radio ad asking me to go this seminar and then I can join the property brothers team, guess they’re looking for new people in my area. So suck it losers, I should be on TV in a few weeks with my own show!

As much as I want to guillotine the bankers, HGTV 100% caused the financial crisis. It's sort of a chicken and the egg thing, I guess. But without HGTV and all that house-flipping insanity, I don't think the financial crisis happens. I remember watching it in 2007 and literally it was just people buying houses, putting a deck in, touching up the paint, and then selling it for like 12% profit.

I feel like thats just more reflective of the climate, because once the crash hit their entire programming lineup changed and its taken a decade for the house prices and decadence on their shows to get back to what it was.

I miss like the first year of History channel when they would have seven part miniseries on how people used to make barrels and shut. Then it became all Hitler. Then they added aliens. Now you got shows where people shoot like 80 alligators in the head per episode and pretend each one is gonna be the one that kills them. All least which HGTV I get to see what backsplashes and bathroom tiles are currently in style. I used to think reality shows were a fad that would end someday, now it's clear that cable tv has to die first.

When I visit my parents, a good 40% of what they watch is HGTV. They love watching that poo poo and it drives me nuts. Their favorite parts seem to be when "these young kids" reject a good house because it doesn't have stainless steel appliances.

I felt like I 'd finally hit adulthood once I had managed to swap out all of my kitchen appliances for stainless ones(over a long time and a lot of Craigslist searching). As it turns out, my awesome stainless fridge is a loving magnet for fingerprints of all kinds and it's a pain to clean. I should've gone all black. It makes more sense to have good quality appliances with the features you want, as opposed to whatever gets realtors™ wet and hard.

My cousin had to explain to his wife that, "no, I'm bad at saving money. . . love it or list it is not a realistic representation of how much money an early 30's couple should have floating around". They live in Vancouver and have come to the conclusion (he knew 10+ years ago before they even met, and she finally accepted reality a year ago or so) that they will never own property in that city unless one of them wins the lottery, or Canada and China go to war and the government puts Chinese Canadians into internment camps and confiscate their properties. He said they had an outright yelling match after an episode of "Love it or List it Vancouver" and the couple had very similar jobs to them, were in their early 30s as well, but for some inexplicable reason had nearly 2 million dollars to play with.

That's like SF Bay area pricing. Are there cheaper suburbs nearby, or is that a worse option?

I liked the Trading Spaces show episodes where they would just completely gently caress up someone's living room https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_xye7OESnc But overall I hate these shows, they remind me of Pimp My Ride where they would install 18 monitors and a PS2 in a Dodge Neon that had transmission issues. House flippers will knock down walls and remodel a bathroom with whatever is on sale at Menard's, but leave a cistern or house trap in place. Now, "This Old House" on the otherhand. This is the real deal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crpvmMBsd9Y

Hah I saw that too, Tavarish bought it for a few hundred after it sat for 4 years, brought it back to life and gave it to another youtube car guy (hoovie's garage), who then donated it to a car museum. It's a late 90s Dodge minivan with a 'jewelry' making station and 9 screens from 2004, it probably should have been donated to the crusher but hey, views are views.

I miss when a show would actually show you the steps involved in doing a project, and how to do each one, so that you could learn how to do it yourself, rather than a loving fashion show for houses. "So, now that we've spent the past ten minutes showing us shopping for a bathtub it's time to get it installed!" *[music]Ba derp-a bing bang bong[/music] LOGO!* "Now that the tub, plumbing tile, vanity, wiring and flooring is all installed, it's time to spend the next twenty minutes talking about colors and decorating!!"

They will however, add so much weight to it that the vehicle self destructs in a matter of weeks. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pimp-my-ride-cars_n_6663840
