HGTV IS WONDERFUL. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING IT FOR YEARS. DAVE AND JENNY MARRS DO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL REMODELS AND I LOVE DAVID BROMSTEAD'S "MY LOTTERY DREAM HOME". KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! YOU ARE GREAT!

“Marathon COMMERCIAL play list”

ENOUGH with the COMMERCIALS RERUN! Who do you pay to run your commercials? Current one is Unsellable Houses and SOO TIRED OF IT! You run it about 10 times an hour or more. It's not going to make me want to see whatever you think you're promoting. Get creative! With that rant over- I might renew my subscription. We like the Chip & Joan/Property Brothers/Beach homes/Love it or List it is entertaining to see the hosts banter more than anything else. Definitely do not care for HGTV so called "Star" competitions. But really, get rid of those marathon commercials!

Take the "Ugliest House in America" and send it to the dump, without any hesitation.

You know there comes a limit as to what stupid shows will watch. Over the last few years HGTV has gone out of their way to show every 'new' house flip they could possible find... enough!

Leave House Hunters time slots alone, or we will watch yu less than we already do

This lady's face in her commercials is causing my children to have nightmares. They told me the lady with crazy eyes on the barbie dream house program is underneath their beds at night. I'm sure this will probably fall on dead ears. I'm just curious if anyone else thinks that this lady is scared looking. Thanks.

When I am casting, I can watch up till about 5 minutes before the end, during the all-important reveal. At that point, there is a problem, and I cannot watch any more, nor can I un-cast and watch the ending. I have had so many problems with HGTV. They employ the very worst programmers. I spent my life i software design, development and programming, so I know about testing, which is apparently a foreign concept to the HGTV employees. As I have said before, if Netflix or another streaming service gave their customers this kind of service, they would be out of business.

Just trying to understand how you all pick the females to give shows to, in must be easy to throw a rock out and hit a certain type of blonde, no shape, big boobs, no behind and if she turns sideways, you can't see her and she has to tie a board to her back to keep from falling in the toilet. It must be a blonde with the same characteristics that is choosing these womens, just get sick and tired of seeing these women that look like flagpoles, I'm not into thick women, you just think that you all can't find a black or some woman with some weight on them.

They put the worst shows on HGTV. I have stopped watching all together. Just because they had the Property Bros on they are still playing off of them. They show these terrible shows all day long. They don't even have a diversified lineup. And they show the same shows over and over. Just a terrible channel.

As Christian I find too many of your shows use BAD language. Intelligent people do not need to use bad words to express themselves. It is insulting and painful.

This is the worst reality, renovation show ever conceived! No one wants to see an obese, sweaty, low talent bearded hick and his doughy, child like water paint-by-numbers long chinned fool! Their town is a dump! Their lack of talent is evident. Yet, you choose to put this neatly wrapped crap, on every day, all day. Why? Is it to entertain your un-educated, lazy, fat, typical southern audience? The ratings have to be in the tank! You can do, you have to do better!

I've been a huge House Hunters fan for years, and I still love it, but I finally found a show I like more - Bargain Block. Keith, Evan, and Shea are all just as frigging adorable and funny and fun and talented as they can be. This show is so entertaining, they're doing a wonderful thing for Detroit, and it just makes me happy every time I watch it!

HGTV has gotten so horrible! Nothing but re-runs and what isn't a re-run is a show that is more focused on being diverse than it is having any decent talent or content! They should go back to gearing their programming to a generation that can afford to do the type of renovating shown. The hosts have gotten so over dramatic and unrelatable! Wake up management!

I used to like HGTV because it was upbeat and about bringing out the best in people and community through design, and remained fairly neutral on touchy subjects. That has changed. I just watched an episode of Good Bones that spent a significant amount of time talking about Wicken. Ignorance on their part now has them blocked with parental monitoring so that my friends and family won't be caught off guard. Very disappointing.

I LOVE Farmhouse Fixer on the east coast. Jonathan and Christina are so creative and tasteful in remaking these old homes. The home with horses, that Jonathan had ridden when younger just made me gasp with those dark green walls. I can't seem to find this show, I do watch reruns on Saturday morning. When will new shows be available?

Hgtv used to be my go to channel as I am an insomniac. However, it's spending so much time showing gay couples and now triples or whatever that is. It's no longer a safe and family friendly show. What's next, men who have relationships with dogs, children, rocks? It's absolutely disgusting how you have swayed to the perverse!

I believe that every one of their shows are contrived, staged and pre-planned from the get-go. So as long as you understand that, you won't be so fooled into thinking that these couples are really so shocked by seeing their new and "improved" homes. It's all FAKE. As long as you're okay with that, then some of the shows are entertaining. For example Good Bones, where Mina is actually doing things. Albeit Karen is a hoarder and bizarre.

As to taking a historic home and gutting it, (Home Town and Windy City Rehab) rendering the original plan and finishes to the garbage heap and then suddenly finding an "antique" in a shop (worse yet, making something look old) and incorporating it into the decorating, and then deeming it preserved IS NOT PRESERVATION! There is nothing worst then these talentless "designers" running around pretending that they care about the historical fabric of a structure and then tear it all out!

And if you want to watch RERUNS, RERUNS, RERUNS! By-all-means, tune in to HGTV.

Can't hardly turn on HGTV or DIY without being almost attacked be their number of in your face gays
Prancing around like little smug punks. Lottery dream house is the worse but not far behind are Nate
And geronimo or something like that. There was a time these shows were great with tons of good info
But now its a crappy social experiment for the sick gay culture. Just garbage

I'm ok with odd social situations. That's their business but when you throw them at me as HG programming it's either subject myself to their oddities or change the channel. A little oddness is expected as the world is a little odd but a steady stream of it is choking me. I change the channel. Too bad. I love HG TV.

Either respectfully "restore" old farm houses or just STOP! E.g. Stop painting 200 year old pine woodwork bright blue (and say you are disappointed it's not walnut?). Stop painting brick. We get enough tacky decorating on other HGTV shows. Dump Kristina and get a professional restoration expert with historical knowledge!

Fixer Upper, Home Town and Fixer to Fabulous are still my favorites, but this one is so good. I hope it is extended to a 1hr show next week. We are missing so much with just a half hr.

HGTV shows and personalities used to be very diverse, inclusive and inspiring. NOT Home Town. Unlike Chip and Joanna (Fixer Upper), this couple isn't very inclusive or open-minded... or mature for that matter. The guy's got a chip on his shoulder, not only is he ungracefully cocky but he also treats his helpers with a lack of respect that you didn't see in other HGTV shows. In addition, they're a rip-off; we've all seen flips, and we know how much money it takes to do a total gut job in a kitchen (15-20K) with high-end modern finishes. I've seen this guy charge from 35K up for an unimpressive kitchen where he ended up building some of the items himself. Total rip-off. Seriously disappointed in HGTV.

I've watched multiple shows (especially vacation home rules) setup food for pretential buyers without wearing gloves. Just nasty as heck, touching food that others will eat, wow. Stop setting up food or wear gloves please.

Farmhouse Fixer is awesome and my favorite HGTV show! Johnathan and Kristina complement each other perfectly. Didn't think they would be able to beat the 2021 Cognata farm house but they did! What a joy to watch these two and their final reveals. Can't wait for the next season! Also love Dave and Jenny Maars and Home Town. Keep up the good works HGTV!

What a waste of film. These two will bore you to tears. From the conceptual art "paintings " to the "get up and do it" totally a waste of time. Somehow HGTV thinks this show can capture the audience all day Sunday, no wonder they had to create a new network, discovery plus, so audiences had something else to turn too. The worst show ever! Modern Mayberry, anything could take its place. Please, save us!

Bargain Block, with 2 guys putting life back into Detroit, has turned out to buy my favorite show! Can't believe they renovate houses on such low budgets. The houses are usually beautiful, not always to my taste, but decorated to the max. Very realistic in use of used furniture.
