I Agree Beamie!
The Steve Thomas years were the best! (Anyone know why he left? Where he went?) I catch it occasionally now and I just laugh like..."Yeah, right! Everyone has stuff like that in their house!"  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I think you guys are too harsh...the show would be boring if it was about how BigFish Larry used a wad of duct tape and dab of epoxy to fix his plumbing problem.
The audience for the program is upper wage earners who will spend some money to rehab, and that's where they pull their advertising dollars from.

I think the reason the show caters to the higher end jobs is that the middle class target group that the show used to cater to is so small these days that now the very rich crowd is the target group.. Also, if you didnt notice when Vila started the show it was geared to the middle class home owner who loved to bang on nails and tear down walls.. Not any more.. now its all sub contractors and as you said... big budgets.
I used to love the show. now I watch Lost.  |

years ago
it was about how they did things in the old days
and how to improve it with more modern materials
or real innovative changes that were Brilliant without
necessarily spending a small fortune....
now a days its...... keeping up with the Jone's ez
and looking for who can have the most gadgets
and high tech expenditures while staying green

Bob Villa can't even read a tape measure, I know I had the mispleasure of working on a house in Marion for that idiot, he got some measurements wrong it and it screwed the whole day up for the carpenters. He was taping a portion of a show on this house and it all went on film but that part never got aired, I wonder why?
