Cheap Old Houses (2021– )
3/10
A 3 only because the hosts seem nice but the show is terrible
21 August 2021
This might be the most pointless show on HGTV. Literally the show is like Seinfeld - about nothing. They drive to some town, look at 2 old houses for sale, and debate which is the better deal. That's it. That's the show. The only reason you're watching it, as George Costanza said, is because it's on TV. The show is so cheap that half of the filming takes place with a hand held camcorder by the hosts so they don't have to spend any money on camera crews.

This network is really going down the drain. I am waiting for "Honey Boo-Boo's Designs" to come next.

Man, this show is terrible. What happened to this network?
21 August 2021
I have never left a tv show review before but this one warrants a review. It is terrible, plain and simple. The claim is the host is one of the top NYC designers. Yesterday, I watched her:

  • Painting walls chocolate brown in a room with brand new carpeting, no drop cloths, and edging in with a 50 cent chip brush;


  • Paint a beautiful 1914 brick fireplace white, and not even paint it full or correct such that there were missed spots everywhere;


  • Use a non-hardening cheap wood putty to "fix" big chips in a plywood cabinet;


  • Not know that a screwdriver bit has to be chucked into the drill before it won't fall out;


  • Paint an old sheet vinyl floor with regular paint, to where the first time anyone walked on it paint was coming up.


And that's just what I can remember. Holy crap, this channel is half a step from airing Love Island and similar crap. I know hacks around my area that could do a better show. Perhaps they are trying to steer everyone to the paid service, but this drivel needs to come off the air.
