We hate the new show lineup. What happened to our beloved previous shows? We are so disappointed.

Hgtv shows are so old and the entire programs need updating. Tired of seeing old House Hunters and also being deceived by saying they are new shows but when watching, it's a repeated old show. Can y... See more

I really enjoy most of the shows

I really enjoy most of the shows. However, cancellation of Farmhouse Renovation was disappointing. Zillow is a ridiculous show. Homes Family is good, except for the awful designer who does what she wants and not what people like, plus she has an attitude towards the host. I don’t like her at all. Repeating repeats of various shows gets really old, too. But I enjoy most of the shows. Very creative.

HGTV is slipping, pull ur socks up

I think HGTV should go back to the basics. I'm a regular person, so I'm not interested in million dollar homes. Many of these shows are about these expensive homes and expensive designs. I think that is why they are losing viewers. Basic designs, good carpentry work, good host (who are not cussing), and just good family base shows. Maybe they will get back viewers. I have stopped watching a lot of shows because of the millions dollar renos, the curse words, the infantile behaviours and the inappropriate behavior (if there are 2 hosts). Too much for a family station. Go back to gardening, kitchen and dining upgrades, bedroom and bathroom renos, etc.
I'm just being honest

Stupid decisions for the network

I specifically bought Discovery + and then HBO MAX (once Discovery+ got rid of the ability to watch shows the day they aired) to watch HGTV shows. I watch them every morning while I eat breakfast and play on my home architect software. Like others, I hate that the channel has gone from teaching about renos and gardening to reality competition shows. Don't get me wrong, I love Rock the Block but I want to learn or at least see the work being done and not be bombarded with theatrics and the host's personal lives. Also, since the network decided to cancel ALL the good hosts like Egypt/Mike, Johnathon Knight, KEITH/EVAN and even Christina, its lost its appeal. I suppose they are doing it to bring in some younger influencers who have a TikTok and think they are designers now but it has ruined the network for me. I'm not even Gen-X but I definitely prefer them as the host/designers instead of these new younger influencer types, with the exception of Down Home Fab. I wish they had kept Bargain Block because those guys showed you how to renovate on a budget, and lets admit it, our budgets are more like theirs and not these 250K budgets. You could buy a whole house with that budget!! Or at least you used to be able to. HGTV has lost everything that was good about it and turned into reality crap just like TLC did.

Up until tonight my wife & I were daily viewers. We’ve always realized the network is far left of center, but watched/enjoyed nonetheless. But tonight when we started to watch a show of one husband with 2 wives, you lost us and we are now done with HGTV. Advice, keep it middle of America so it’s relatable to the majority.

There are too many competing shows on now. Also so many of the female host are all about “Look at Me”. I still watch Home Town, Fixer to Fabulous. All your viewers are not millionaires. Please get back to shows us everyday people can relate to. You are losing viewers

Windows in bathrooms

I like a lot of the hgtv shows that are from the past and also current. I do have an observation to make. I'm now just glancing at Down Home Fab, and I'm not understanding why they are thinking of removing the window in the bathroom?🤔
The window would allow natural light and also if you need to open it to air out the bathroom. I see this on a lot of your shows, but for the life of me I cannot understand it. If it is in the way of where to put the sinks or the door, I can understand, but if it is in its own space I do not see why. I know they will also probably add a exhaust fan, but still.....🤔
Im from another country and we have windows in our bathrooms. This is just strange to me. Does anyone else find this odd??

Just watched "House of Ali" and what is this show showing us??
Nothing is natural, I'm aware all the shows are scripted and I give every show a chance and this was the biggest disappointment. Let's give the audience the real life experience.
I'm a interior designer and painter by trade (retired) and this one hurt to watch.
Let her be what she is, but not on TV.

ugly and weird houses? boring

I have been a fan since the beginning. I love decorating and home improvement shows. I am not a fan of some of the current shows. I guess one aired tonight. I don't want to see ugly houses or weird houses. I don't like either one of these.

I have watched HGTV forever and until recently always found something to enjoy. The design shows are now filled with talent that comes off very amateurish. Not everyone who goes to design school has talent as the programming shows. Some of these teams are an embarrassment to the industry. The few shows that have actually shown vision and innovation should be ashamed to be grouped in with the vast majority.
This channel is a shell of its former self.

paige turner is a thief

paige turner is a thief. she is good but asks for too much, yet will settle for less. why not just ask for a fair amount to begin with. can't stand her , she doesn't play fair.

Every fixer show is the same

Every fixer show is the same, we love farm house or older homes BUT everyone is about painting everything Gray or Black, gray gray gray, and gold faucets talk about outdated next year. And yes let’s paint all the original wood,,,NO stop it!!! There is no creativity in the “restoration” to the original. Oooo let’s make everything “Modern”, “clean lines “ Nooo Let see if there are any talented people who can add “Character“ back to these homes and with color.

HGTVs new 'Renovation Resort' Show

In regards to HGTVs new 'Renovation Resort' series. While a show can never go wrong with the dynamics between Scott McGillivray and Brian Baeumler, this current new program comes up short on production values. The constant flick, flick, and fast flipping between scenes does not allow the viewer to see much detail. Very frustrating. It may be a new artistic production style, but comes up short on being enjoyable. To bad for the advertisers paying all that money for commercials never watched.
