Dang. Mice & mold - not exactly the M&M's one wants around them, huh? 😁

Yes - also, Dorothy's husband Marty (a fact I think I first learned in this forum, that Marty often travels with her for these clean-outs) was credited and given some props as the one to conceive of the new basement look with retro posters, etc. I take @mmecorday's point that it looked like the set for "That '70s Show" but Marty really leaned full-tilt into it (and clearly Mary was a retro fan) - gotta admire that. 😄

LOL! They had that line in the opening 1 minute "tease" or so and I too was like "Huh?". 😁 Although, I could sort of see it when they showed this vintage picture that included her. Something she'd wear out for an evening during the '90s country line dancing craze. 😄

I had to chuckle when the Day 3 segment began and Carolina says, cheerily, "Good morning everyone! It's great to see everybody. I see a lot of smiling faces, that's a good thing!" And the son, Laz, is repeatedly looking left/right, left/right, left/right, with an expression that clearly says, full BS-meter in effect, "Uh, what?" 😁 "Are you on the same planet I am?" Enjoyed reading your recap and I liked this episode.

Nice to have you here watching with us! I love epguides for keeping track of future airdates or looking up past episodes: https://epguides.com/Hoarders/ TVDB is also great too: https://thetvdb.com/series/hoarders#seasons

I haven't thought about that show "Clean Sweep" for a while! I enjoyed it too. I see from its Epguides listing that it ran 2003-2005 and over 120 episodes! Peter Walsh was involved who also did some books/audiobooks on organization.

Looks like "Hoarders" is going international with the announcement of a planned Canadian licensed version of it: https://variety.com/2022/tv/global/hoarders-canada-ae-saloon-media-1235230095/ https://www.blogto.com/film/2022/04/toronto-tv-producers-announces-canadian-version-hoarders/

Man, I'd love it if this were Martha Stewart. What a watch that would be! (She has to put all those leftovers components from her crafting projects-of-the-day SOMEWHERE!) Alas, I don't think we're so lucky. 😄

Based on https://epguides.com/Hoarders/ , tomorrow's (Dec 6th, "Martha") episode, the season's 8th, might be the last of the season given the last couple of seasons were only 8 episodes also.

Fascinating! My DVR's copy snagged it from the broadcast itself (not On-demand). I wonder if they fixed it in time for broadcast but the OnDemand was an "unproofed" or early edit copy they uploaded in advance or something before a final edit pass. They've been using that title card for ages (years?) so, it's so odd a typo would slip in for this one episode. Maybe the title cards are done separately for resolution/sizing/font reasons for on-demand vs. broadcast or something.

It was okay for me! I too was curious if they were that sloppy or rushed. But I made this screengrab from last night's episode - if that's the place where the error might've been.

😁

Hmm, this January 2021 article about his PBS series "Legacy List" writes this: That explains why we saw him show up more recently on a "freelance" basis.

😄 Yeah - she often looks to me like she's ready for a night of clubbing; she's one drink order and a matching purse away from that. I see she was born in 1965 and is now 56 and while nowhere near "old" in the world at all, her outfits are more like a 20-something (or, pushing it, being generous, a 30-something) might wear. Interestingly, in earlier seasons I thought she was more subdued and frequently was rocking multiple layers, turtlenecks, sharp blazers/jackets, etc. I understand some of these climates are hellishly hot and humid. But combined with the obvious facial work I wonder if she's insecure about aging and over-compensating in outfits and facial enhancements.

LOL! I'll probably rewatch that one down the road and I know I won't be able to un-see that now that you've made that observation! 😄
