Addicted To Home Improvement Shows
 

Is anyone else addicted to these home improvement and design type shows?

I find myself almost always watching shows like This Old House, Surprised By Design, While You Were Out, Trading Spaces, Monster House, etc.

On Saturdays that's almost all I watch. Even though some of the designs are hideous, it's fun to watch these ideas come to life.

Also, I think the host of Surprised By Design would make a very nice future ex-Mrs. SykkBoy....or at least do a private photoshoot with me.

Could be worse, you could be addicted to PORN :bonk:

You've become such a pussy Sykk,

What would young Sykk think of what you've become ;p







also, monster house is such a cheap way of trying to profit from Monster Garage's success. The "lead guy" has zero personality where Jesse James is the show in itself.

I know the feeling, I was addicted to them too! I used to love when someone hated what was done to they house and threw a fit or cried! Those shows give great little home improvement tips that can really make a difference in the décor for very little investment!

I know...it's a tough addiction to admit to..

oh, fuck, I realized I goofed...it's the babe on While You Were Out I want to impregnate, not the one on Surprise By Design (what's with the dude on thatb show, he always had sunglasses on, but never wears them over his eyes?)

mmmmmm, Teresa Strasser..............

I'll admit it.......I'm addicted too....... :blush:

My wife(Spudnik) and I waste many a saturday afternoon watching trading spaces/while you were out. Last year she went to the Island Gathering and I couldn't make it. While she was out, I remodeled our bedroom. I was on my own so the remodeling was basically a new paint scheme and buying some new lamps but it really changed the look of the room. Needless to say she was quite surprised when she got home.

I'm not much of a handy-man myself, I don't know about the rest of you. When I split my basement in two last year to create an office for myself, I hired some guys to do the gyp-rock and put up a wall, but I did the rest.

What was that Chris, vacuum up the mess ??:bonk:

Bah!! Jesse James is an asshole extrodinaire, and Monster Garage would be 100 times better without him!! UGH! What a prick! I cant stand that guy!! hahahahah

Okay ... im done ....


I really like Monster House too :)

I LOVE Trading Spaces!! And the Monster House is good too. Is that the one where they win tools n' stuff? I can't remember if it's Monster House or another one...

I strongly disagree! :blush:

I love cooking shows and home improvement shows....

Some of the designs I see are so horrendous, I fail to understand how they can call themselves designers..and they totally ignore the homeowner, like that time the owner said not to touch the fireplace..and the designer threw a hissy and covered it up...he wanted to paint this gorgeous fireplace white....oh, the agony!

Just this week, I started watching Queer Eye for the Straight Guy...a sort of guy improvement show...it's hilarious..

yeah, but notice she wanted to change her neighbor's fireplace so bad ;-)))

I remember that well :)

I guess I'm too much of a control freak to ever let ANYONE touch my home, without me being there...

Saturday nights or sunday afternoons, Trading Spaces and While you were out! I watch to see the designs, to see the faces of the people when they see their rooms and because WTF else is on during those times!

We plan to buy a house in the next year, I want to be prepared, and make it a dream home decorated and tweaked out just right!!

Love those shows! Let's not forget DIY Woodworking, In The Workshop, Warehouse Warriors, and Extreme Homes (not a home improvement show but cool nonetheless)>

I can't watch any of them. Of course, when you live in a 100-year-old "work in progress", watching them can give you idea overload.

Not feeling good today Twinkley? Why are you holding back?

Tell us what you really think. :p

I haven;t seen those, will have to check my local tv listings and give them a watch

I've gotten so bad I even subscribe to This Old House magazine now...

hahahahahha okay, okay .... i am some very strong opinions :)

I watch monstor garage, house, and american choppers regularly. I think Monstor House sucks usually, the host is lame. But the recent show was pretty funny with the guy walking the house with a sleeping back looking for a place to sleep...lol.

I see they are coming out with a new show, something like American Choppers but on hot rods. Looks like it'll be good.

Off subject but this weekend I was watching Boy Meets Grill on the food channel, that dude can COOK! Made us have a BBQ Sunday afternoon. Anyone else watch that show?

I use to watch "bob villa home again" all the time
