Saves on production costs, that's for sure. On one of the Discovery channels, Discovery Family I think, they were showing a marathon of Yard Crashers, possibly back to Ahmed Hassan's time. He's studied horticulture, but then they went to people who were about placing huge things in yards, rather than plants.

He is funny but not as big a goof as Chip. I have been watching several of the flip shows recently and I notice with some--including this one--that in the first season, they start out being pretty careful with the budgets, doing more of the work themselves, and by the second season, the budgets are much bigger, and they have crews doing most of the work--the formula seems to be they talk a lot about all the issues with the house, then talk a lot about the money---then something goes wrong that isn't planned, then they fix it, stage the hell out of the place, and sell it for a profit. I"m sure as they have to crank out a full season they have to distill things down to that to produce that many flips. I do miss the brother that was on the first year--I thought he was pretty good an he seemed to have some skills that they used a lot. I do think on Desert Flippers she has a really good eye for the style of houses they do--very modern, lots of color, lots of tile. She does a pretty good job. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9080-hgtv-now-with-a-lot-less-g/page/7/#findComment-4777626

Kemper December 26, 2018 Share December 26, 2018 Watched a bit yesterday before family get-together...there was a block of shows on featuring homeowners looking a beach homes. But to live in full-time, not vacation; it wasn't bad and a nice change from Christmas-movie-marathons (the Ralphie one, Scrooged, etc.); I enjoy the movies but had my fill. After maybe the third beach hunters, the network went with maybe 12 hours or more of Chip and Joanna! How many times have some of these shows been rerun? I hardly ever watch HGTV due to the endless marathons (oxymoron, I know). Nothing but Brothers and flippers. I am over the tacky flip couples (except Boise Boys)..and same-looking interiors. It must just be me that can't stand these shows; someone (many many ones) must watch and live for this stuff. I have ranted about this before and know it is useless. I sure do wish another channel or two would put on some real decorating or home improvement shows. I guess I will have to be content with the re-booted Trading Spaces (without Hildy) and Nick and Jeremiah (Is that the name of the show?). 12 hours!!!!!! 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9080-hgtv-now-with-a-lot-less-g/page/7/#findComment-4939728

Amethyst June 15, 2019 Share June 15, 2019 Man, this network is so boring now. All the shows are under the same genre: house buying, flipping, or decorating. They might be tonally different ("folksy" type shows like Fixer Upper or Home Town vs more urban shows like Flip or Flop Vegas and Property Brothers) but once you've seen one, you've seen them all. And the new ones on the lineup are the exact same thing. But their blandness also makes them ideal for background noise. I've noticed that HGTV is now the default TV station in doctor's offices, hospitals, and gyms.

I told him that was good since they have a new show; combined with their other shows, they will soon be able to have their own channel. Wait! Isn't that what The Fixer Uppers have done?

I am so glad to be rid of the constant marathons...and it seems that almost anytime I have tuned in these last few weeks, Fixer Upper is on; so maybe once they are on the other network, HGTV will not be able to show them anymore?

Something to do with permits or some such. This could be a blessing; if they have to stop production, we would be spared marathons.
