Even though I live in a NYC apartment and don't own a house I still watch HGTV for a few shows I enjoy. The newest one is Botched Homes which features a NYC contractor telling it like it is and correcting these messed up homes. Ugliest House in America is another one I get a kick out of along with Lottery Dream Home. If I ever hit the Mega Millions I'm going on this show! Scariest House in America is one of my faves because host Retta is a blast. There is some good programming on HGTV but too many of the shows seem similar and repetative nowadays. read more

HGTV is one of my VERY favorite channels these days. I love the home renovation and home buying programming. There's so many good programs I enjoy for hours at a time. This is my equally favorite with Magnolia Channel. If you enjoy this type of programming I recommend highly!! read more

HGTV is one of those channels you can leave on all day. The shows are entertaining, informative, and actually inspiring, whether you're into home renovations, decorating, or just love seeing before-and-after transformations. The hosts are engaging, knowledgeable, and make even big renovation projects feel approachable. I appreciate the variety of content from budget friendly makeovers to full-scale dream homes. I feel like there's something for every type of homeowner and even renters. The production quality is solid, and the concepts are easy to follow without feeling overwhelming. Overall, HGTV is great for inspiration, learning new ideas, and even just background TV. If you enjoy home design, DIY projects, or real estate shows, it's definitely worth watching. read more

Hey, I like to watch a quality home makeover as much as the next lord of the manor and consequently, I'm always open to new home enhancement ideas but HGTV mania is feeling so expended, tired and contrived. Every situation is choreographed beyond recognition and virtually everyone gets their dream home as these expert flippers and designers miraculously find an entire barn full of distressed oak and Tiffany glass at the last minute for two cents on the dollar. In the true spirit of schadenfreude and must see entertainment, just once I'd love to see an obnoxious flipper lose their children's college fund out of sheer greed and incompetence. Or every once in awhile have the perma-grinned broker tell the clueless hausfrau and her oblivious partner to f__k off and no... you can't have an 8,000 square foot Frank Lloyd Wright in Big Sur with triple Jacuzzi's and riding stables for $120,000. I get it, it's aspirational fluff and counterfeit television but how many times can you listen to the same central casting doppelgangers from Caucasian Heights, Ohio insist on the same damn dream across every program - subway tiles, cement countertops and completely open floor plans with no load bearing walls whatsoever. Enough torture. I'm done. read more

I have always watched all of the shows. It gets quite tiring when you begin to know the names of the people who are buying or fixing the homes. Too many reruns.......sometimes twice in the same week. I loved the shows where the designer could redo with the what the customer already had. Or showing paint techniques, the things that a diy er would be interested in. After all we can't all pull down walls or put an addition on. Thanks for your time, Marian read more

HGTV and others are now going to be on DISCOVERY+. Looks like everyone is out to make more money maybe. Most seniors are on fixed incomes and don't need extra expenses. Don't want to mix politics with this but gas pri es have already gone up and it's unfortunate that gas is more required than someone taking shows off of cable tv and making people pay double read more

Stop having the wife nuzzle up close under her husband's sweaty armpit for the short couple interviews. It's unrealistic and it's getting old. No couple does that on a hot summer day. read more

Another treasure chest of cable TV programming, this one for do-it-yourselfers fond of home improvement, redecorating, and/or gardening projects, or those who simply enjoy sitting back and watching the travails of others. One of my favorites is 'Sell This House,' in which specialists gently advise desperate housewives without a clue as to why their homes have been on the market for nine months with nary a nibble from prospective buyers. (The reasons usually include garish colors, outdated wallpaper, overwhelming pet odors, ceiling-high debris, deer heads mounted on the master bedroom wall, and/or cracked and faded linoleum on the living room floor.) Another is 'Debbie Travis' Facelift,' wherein the British home-decor diva, whose taste tends to be as good as her accent is delightful, conspires with a homeowner to surprise his or her spouse with a room makeover while the unsuspecting better half is away for a few days. (The time frame in which she has to complete her project is often very narrow, and some of her plans are outrageously ambitious, but only once have I seen Travis and her team fail to finish on time.) Other shows have landscapers or interior designers competing with each other to win the redo job at hand, apartment dwellers revealing their secrets of surviving in claustrophobic spaces, first-time home buyers searching for their dream houses, experts explaining how to turn your trash into someone else's treasure at auction, professionals organizing cluttered closets, and - for those who appreciate history and architecture - a look at renovations that preserved the past while bringing the project into the present. read more
