She gets to see exactly what the modifications look like when done so
she can decide if it's something worth doing in our place. She can't
be the only woman watching. In fact, this might be a woman thing.

You're probably right. "This Old House" was somewhat unique, in that "Norm"
got all of us guys to watch (Oooooo, lots of powah tools...) and "Bob" got
all the chicks interested ("Just look at the way that mauve border opens up
this room!") somehow without looking limp-wristed.

I don't like the new ones as much -- especially not those stupid "Trading
Spaces" shows, where some ignorant bimbo takes a perfectly fine living room
and paints it orange and green....and then the owners have to come home and
pretend to love it.

I'll bet over half of those rooms get a nice coat of beige paint two days
after the producers leave town.
