Wow, I really loved reading all these posts. I stumbled on this forum when I googled "Why isn't Sarah Richardson on HGTV anymore?" We really love all of Sarah's shows and miss seeing her and Tommy.
I miss Paul James ... he was such an awesome host for the Rose bowl Parade; now it's pretty crappy and we've stopped watching. Having non-gardening people as hosts is a waste of my time.
I REALLY miss Joan Steffend. She had her own great program with fabulous decorating ideas, but she was equally fabulous as the host for the HGTV Dream Home and the White House Christmas specials. I miss the extra attention given to the outside artisans and craftsmen showcased in the show when she hosted. Actually, I miss all the holiday programming. So far this year I've only seen the White House Christmas special and it was kind of boring. I miss the annual store window shows and all the other shows that gave you really great holiday decorating ideas.
I'm sick of all the real estate shows!!! Enough already! I'm really glad there are others who feel the same way.
