Does Anyone Watch Any Home Design/ Remodeling Shows or Food/Cooking Shows?

I enjoy both kinds of shows. Right now I'm watching Decked Out where they tear out the old deck and put in a new one. They design these decks really great and beautifully!

I used to have HGTV before I downgraded. I loved so many shows on there including the ones with the twin guys!

I like to watch the cooking show with Jamie Oliver for one. I don't copy his recipes or anything, just love to watch him cook....lol

Which shows do you like to watch?

Oh God, I watch them all, it seems like. The Property Brothers= the twins.

When I'm done reading here I'll go watch my Saturday morning line up....with The Pioneer Woman, The Kitchen, last night's House Hunters, and a few others.

I'd be lost w/out my Food Network and HGTV. :)

I only have network TV now or broadcast TV. I do get some shows that were from HGTV like Candice Tells All. It's pretty good plus there are some other good renovation shows too
 
All the time on YouTube! I follow a bunch of channels. Alexandra Gater is my favorite because she does make overs of a lot of apartments. She is in Toronto and if I was there I'd try to win a makeover from her and her team. I follow a bunch of others at different times. I get ideas from the tiny house ones too because my apartment is small.

I didn't realize YouTube had all those shows. What search words do you use when on YT?
 
HGTV addict here. I watch just about all the HGTV shows. I don't always like the renovations the designers come up with, but different strokes for different folks! For some reason I never warmed up to Bryan Baeumler and his wife Sarah who were renovating that island resort. He's okay, just not into her.

I miss some of the old shows, like Divine Design with Candace Olson and Interior Motives with Christopher Lowell.

On Sundays I like to watch Magnolia Network. They offer a variety of different types of shows...gardening, cooking, decorating, etc. so it doesn't get boring.

I put in "studio apartment decor" "studio apartment decoration on a budget" "DIY apartment decor hacks" You can leave off studio if you are in a regular apartment. Even just home decor ideas will get some up. Or if you like a certain type like "French cottage decor" or "English cottage decorating ideas".
 
Not me. They kind of make me feel bad about my house, like the ones that tell you how to dress and that insurance guy that tells people how not to be like their parents and it's all stuff I do.

My house is clean and the colors and balance of the rooms are pretty to my eye.

Leave me alone! Don't be coming in here with your sledge hammer, knocking down my half-wall to make it open concept and hanging an old rusty gate over the sofa!

Thanks anyway. ;)
 
I like to watch House Under The Hammer a series her in UK , A house is bought in the Auctions in a run down state , and the cameras go back when the house is ready to sell or rent out .
To see what can be done is amazing and the profit that can be made too ..Some are buying it for themselves but the majority are property developers ..
Sometime theres been people thats been on the show before .
 
I love Home Town and Main Cabin Masters. I don't get remodeling fever, though. Remodeling lust, yes...but the thermometer remains at 98.6.

The Spousal Equivalent, though, watches all the cooking shows and periodically thinks he's Gordon Ramsey. He's not. What we get is an expensive output for seldom-used ingredients, every pan, bowl and utensil in the kitchen used and abandoned in the silk for me to wash, and a lot of frustration when the dish doesn't turn out looking or tasting like what was on the TV.

I used to dream of being a home designer of some sort but now I am out of shape, too old, and not enough money to get into it. I just enjoy watching others do it 😁
 
Love to watch Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives with Guy Fieri. Good Eats with Alton Brown is another. American Test Kitchen is interesting to watch. I really liked Door Knock Dinners with Gordon Elliot that was on many years ago when the Food Network just started.

As a kid, I loved to watch Julia Child. She was down to earth & had no airs about her like some of the chefs do today.

The two people I don't like to watch is Bobby Flay & Giada De Laurentiis.

Home Town & This Old House are the ones I like to watch the most for remodeling. I'll also watch Love It or List It. Some of the other shows where they want to tear down every wall for an open floor plan drives me crazy.
 
The cooking shows I like to watch occasionally are The Barefoot Contessa, The Kitchen, America's Test Kitchen, Cook's Country, Christopher Kimball's Milk Street and Chopped.

I don't watch many home renovation shows, but I do like Love It Or List it and My Lottery Dream Home.

They sure have good meals in their restaurants. Even their burger places are better than average. Same for Gordon Ramsay. Guy Fieri‘s was just so so, IMO.

If we have dessert, we share, except I order my own sticky toffee pudding at Gordon Ramsay’s.

I haven't been to any of the restaurants that some of the chefs have. It's the restaurants that Triple D features that I would love to try. The food looks so good that these hole-in-the-wall places make. Those are the type of places I like to eat at best.
