HGTV - Restored by the Fords and One of a Kind

I'm underwhelmed by both.

 

I don't like quirky, so these don't appeal to me.

HGTV has gotten so boring, I never watch it anymore.

 

I did see the commercial for Restored by the Fords on another channel and just rolled my eyes.

Their Facebook page is littered with "you're such a cute couple" and then 100 responses of "they're brother and sister."

 

If people can't even get the premise right, I'm not sure if there's hope for this one.

I watched them do a house that looked perfectly normal and ruin the interior design. I was shocked. The home may have needed a little updating, but they made it look almost empty and so uninviting. It was a joke.

Windy City Rehab is awful as well.

It's in Chicago.

 

I like Home Town

I long for the old days of HGTV, where decorating shows were on, rather than all these demolition programs are on hour after hour, day after day.

I like Hometown and I still enjoy House Hunters, but that's about it. I sometimes watch repeats of Love it or List It, but I get bored easily because it seems they always love it...

The only show I really enjoy on HGTV is House Hunters International. I like to see how people all over the world live.

Re: HGTV - Restored by the Fords and One of a Kind

I have not watched One of a kind yet. i have watched Resored by the Fords and did not like it at all.

I really like Hometown. I like how they try to reuse things instead of throwing everything in a dumpster like most of these renovation shows. I loved the episode last week where they fixed up this little blue house and kept the budget under $75k which included the price of the house.

I also still really like House Hunters. Guilty Pleasure.

I'm watching Restored by the Fords again (because I have a death wish).

 

They both mumble.  He is worse than she is.
