Okay, let's start with the obvious, hours and hours of the same show sometimes days and days of the same show. Most notably would be fixer upper, is there ever a day when it's not on for at least 6 hours? Their latest entries Windy City, and Restored by the Fords are entirely different but unwatchable in the same sense. We need a tranquilizer after watching Windy City's Alison Victoria constantly spin of control, have temper tantrums, cry and talk down to and disrespect her partner and makes horrible, repetitive design choices. Restored by the Fords where do you start with this one? Again the most obvious, she does not restore anything she destroys everything she touches. Leanne like Alison talks down and disrespects her male co-host which happens to be her Stoner brother and makes repetitive horrible design decisions and seems to be very arrogant about it. The last episode that we watched was the show she where destroyed a beautiful, intact Edwardian home. We actually yelled out, "no!" at the TV in the beginning when she walked up to it and then watched the horror unfold. Is she color blind? Does she not own a hairbrush or sleep? Can't understand a single word her brother says and he couldn't be any less unwatchable.
Hometown seems to be the sweetest and most creative and less dramatic show they have. We were concerned in the beginning because it was created by the Fixer-Upper folks. But it has definitely come into its own and I'm sure they get a lot of notes of things that Joanna didn't approve of like a lesbian couple God forbid.
Their decision to turn DIY into the Magnolia channel is mind-boggling. We understand that they are trying to make money off of the Christians base that watched, still watch over and over, fixer upper but it's pretty blatant and extremely concerning what they're trying to pull off here. Don't look for any diversity on the Magnolia Channel folks!
Our home goes away back with HGTV. Does anyone remember Carol Duvall? Does anybody remember when this Channel actually showed you how to do things except flip a house for money? We hardly have HGTV on anymore and it used to be on all the time. We did watch DIY more, but with that turning into Magnolia that will definitely not be on our TV any longer.
Goodbye to another two channels you can join the ranks of the Travel Channel, the Discovery Channel and all those shows that used to be interesting.

Used to love watching the Travel Channel especially Samantha Brown because she could show you alternative places to go and show alternative ways to travel that didn't cost a fortune. Sadly the only place you can find her now is selling her luggage on QVC or somewhere. Used to leave this channel on all day Saturday and Sunday always had something interesting to watch about travel, yes, travel on the Travel Channel who would have thought. I don't understand how people can watch these Expedition shows thinking that he's really going to discover something because he never does. I love when they say we just arrived yet there's a camera watching the trucks arrive oh, so fake and so set up with camera angles a dramatic face shots. If you have any experience or knowledge of how digs are done at sites it's cringe-worthy when you watch them on the show. About the only thing worth watching is one of Wildman's various show incarnations. However he has been reduced to walking through a set and talkin for 30 seconds before the show. He used to actually be on the show the whole time it was much more interesting. While watching one of his shows I saw the previews for this Jack Osbourne paranormal show which looks absolutely mind-boggling stupid. Yet again they think we want to watch the untalented spawns of Ozzy Osbourne doing their untalented best to do nothing for money. Really really miss the travel shows, they should change the name to " we don't care, we'll throw an old crap on that has nothing to do with travel chanel".
And don't get me started on HGTV, an entire weekend of Fixer-Upper seriously and now they're going to have their own channel and do away with a the DIY channel that's already pretty good. The corporations that own these channels are so out of touch it's all about money money money and I guess there's enough brain-dead people to watch the stuff they're putting on, so I give up.
Look there's a ghost in the corner or yes she's hanging another rusted bicycle, clock and letters on the wall? Oh boy get the popcorn!
