The thing that bothers me the most is the first lady's comment regarding my favorite show - Designer Challenge. I really think that show is one of the best, and I hope that you people at HGTV did not just take a few negative views and cancelled the show. I haven't seen it in a while, but I really think you should bring it back. Also, I agree with some people Candence Olsen is the queen of remoldeling, but that Genevieve Gorder is THE ABSOLUTE WORST designer! Half of the time I can't tell the differene between the renovation and how the house looked before. She really should not be doing this, and to think she was a judge on Design Star, making others feel bad about how they decorated. And on top of all that, she looks as if she is about to do another show - What a mistake. She is really bad at decorating - Candance is the one! But hey, that's my opinion. But you must bring Designer Challenge back - please!!!!!

I totally disagree with this article. Most of these episodes are ranging fro 2005 to 2007. This was way before the market forced housing prices down. You were expected to revamp your house, so if you sold, you could get top dollar.

I saw one episode from New Orleans last week. I wonder if they even still have a house.

Thanks to my cable company I missed about three weeks of HGTV and guess what? - I didn't miss it. I found that I was no longer watching their programs even before they were taken off the air due to a dispute between the distributor and my cable company. Most programs were repeats, the renovations looked cheesy. The thought of slapping on some paint on cabinets to "sell" a house is something I would have to correct if I bought it. Same goes for the color choices. Yuck. Bring back some real design with some real designers, not some amateur winner of a reality contest. With the exception of David Bromstead they usually produce garbage.

Yes, they're still on, but mostly in re-runs. I'd love to see some new ones. I know Curb Appeal is showing new ones. I think it's Curb Appeal on the Block or something like that.

I never see any garden shows anymore. The "G" in HGTV is for GARDENS but it's all about houses. I think Paul (Gardening by the yard) is the only gardender on TV anymore. And when you DO show me a garden makeover or a garden improvement, PLEASE name the plants--I have pretty good plant knowledge, but sometimes I cannot identify something I see, and I'd like to research it but don't have a clue as to the name! I love gardens--and I appreciate a beautiful, peaceful green scene. More GARDENS in hGtv please!

If you go to the link below and then click on "Shows A-Z" you can get an alphabetical listing of all the shows on HGTV. From there you can click on the show you want and get date and time listings. All these shows people are talking about being off the air are still on. Decorating Cents, Design on a Dime, Divine Design, Designer's Challenge, Curb Appeal (and a new Curb Appeal The Block)....they're all still on!

Design To Sell, but only with Lisa Laporte And Clivey. They almost sell every house they design. Designer's Challenge-BORING. Love the rental property one, but can't remember what it's called. Property Shop is ok, hate Hidden Potential-no finished product. And what happened to Trading Spaces on TLC?

Mt favoriye showdecorating cents is not anymore which is a shame it showed really affordable makeovers that the average person could do on there own

I used to watch HGTV until I finally realized that it was
mostly advertisments. The same goes for TV in general.
It is nothing but an ugly commercial box.

The shows that get me are shows like House Hunters, or Property Virgins or My First Place. The reason is coming from NJ the housing prices are so sky high here that the average person cannot afford to buy a house unless you were born with a silver spoon. These people in other parts of the country are out looking at houses and want 4 and 5 bedroom houses, and actually get them for $130k - $150k. The other thing that irks me on these shows is when the realtors take these people in to buy houses at the top of their price ranges and then they are told if they don't like something they can renovate right away. If they get the houses and spend to the top or close to the top of their price points where is the money coming from to do these instant remodels?????????????
