Anyone watch HGTV? .. If so, what's your favorite show? (fireplace, furnace, costs)

I pretty much like any of the house hunting/first place/moving up etc shows..i do think it is invcredible how so many of these people looking at houses have no imagination whatsoever. They only see what it there now and not how they can make it theirs..The always said line "this is horrible wallpaper, i can't live with that" comes to mind...DH laughs at me because i will always yell at the tv "it's jusdt wallpaper people" lol..

I liked If Walls Could Talk, and also Gardening by the Yard. As another poster said, I don't think If Walls Could Talk is on anymore. Gardening by the Yard only aires early Sunday mornings, and I can't make myself get up that early.

I somewhat like House Hunters International. I'm surprised that some places that seem like paradise have such reasonalbe prices.

I typically don't watch any of the domestic house buying shows because they're usually suburban based. (I have seen a few shows where the young couple is looking for that bungalow with character, but they seem rare)

I love Divine Design...all exquisite, I think.
I enjoy Designer's Challenge, too.

I wish they would show the "unloading" 'cause that's where the fun would start. They always end the show pulling into the lot.

That is becuase the actual move is done in one day and the preparation is done in a few weeks. Unloading and putting things back together takes months and final restoration takes years, then you run out of money and move in even though you are not done. Then your bank goes out of business. Then you live in the house doing little bits and pieces yourself and wondering if the real estate market will ever improve enough to allow you to get a loan and hire someone to finsih the big items of work. That part does not make a very intriguing show and takes too long to film. It is very slow paced.

I still watch HGTV but it is not as good as it use to be. I really Chris Madden and Joe Ruggerio (sp) shoes. I like Candace Olsen because her work is truly outstanding. Design on a Dime needs to be gone. That show is pure garbage. I also watch House Hunters and Property Virgins. I am amazed at the house prices around the country.

House Hunters is prob my favorite, especially the International version. I'm gobsmacked by how many buyers have absolutely no vision or imagination whatsoever, and like someone else here said, whine about the simplest cosmetics or have totally unrealistic expectations for their budget, particularly first-time buyers without a clue who demand the whole enchilada. But it's only entertainment after all.
