You mean they are finally going to start calling it by a name more
reflective of their actual programming? It's about time...



A friend of mine used to say the History Channel ought to be called the
Hitler Channel. Now instead of WWII documentaries every night we get Modern
Marvels: The Garbage Can.

-cwk.

They should rename most TV channels to "Wall-to-wall house makeovers"

Yeah, what is UP with that?

I mean, "This Old House" was cool -- but now there are clones of it on every
single cable channel.

If my wife is any example, it's easy to see why it's popular. She
watches it all the time to gather ideas on house/kitchen/bathroom
mods.

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.

These days it's "Desert Sand", beige is too plebian, has no panache.

I'm a guy. Seldom do I go beyond the colors in the 16 color box of crayons
and when I do, it's only to the 24 color box... (-;
