STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I am obsessed with house hunters. Other shows I turn on if the description sound good.

Not much on Food TV these days - once we bought our house it was pretty much all HGTV.

There's one I like called Deserving Design where they do a makeover for nice people who deserve it (as the name implies) - like the newlyweds taking care of four foster kids, or the unemployed single dad who volunteers all his time at his church, and so on. It's like Extreme Makeover only not so extreme in the makeover as well as the challenges people have.

I also like Divine Design because it's one of the few shows where the redos are relatively up-market, as opposed to the $500 job. (Although the decorator bugs a bit.)

I like House Hunters (any), although sometimes that show stresses me out, and Property Virgins, which is HH with first-time buyers who always think they will be able to get a 4+2 with a finished basement and a fenced yard in a trendy neighborhood for next to no money. Heh. Schadenfreude.

I'll watch pretty much any show that lets me poke around in other people's houses.

I love House Hunters and Property Virgins. It's interesting too to see the prices and styles of homes in other areas. Plus it's fun to choose my favorite of what their choices are.

My husband and I don't agree on much TV but there is one channel we always agree on and that's the Food Network!  We don't watch any of the daytime cooking shows where it's just a person showing you how to cook stuff, but we LOVE shows like:

Diner's, Drive-In's & Dive's (This one is our favorite)
Chopped
Iorn Chef America
Unwrapped
Dinner Impossible

I keep hearing that Anthony Bourdain No Reservations is good, I should give it a try!

SO and I also like Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.  Bobby Flay's Throwdown is a good one too and our favorite is Alton Brown's Good Eats (all Food Network shows). 

whoops
