In the early days, I really loved HGTV. They had some great design shows as well as shows either on crafts, or as part of design shows things you could make for your home. I felt like they gave really good ideas.
My MIL watches HGTV pretty much all day. I'd fallen out of the habit (try watching "House Hunters" while really looking for a house. Guaranteed to make you physically ill.)
From what I saw, the shows these days seem to fall into 2 camps: couple whining about how the HAVE to get $800,000 for their house (even though the realtor told them to list it at $500,000) in order to get what they WANT. Or people gleefully taking sledge hammers to perfectly good, yet dated bathrooms.
I get that a 1950s pink bath isn't everyone's taste. But if it isn't yours, for God's sake at least have the decency to remove the fixtures and donate them to ReStore. That donation helps the working poor gets homes, and crazy people that LIKE pink bathrooms get the pink toilet of their dreams.
I guess my question is this, when did the shows, and the people on them, get so mean? Heck, when did our society get so mean?
ps. I'm a crazy person who would love a vintage pink bathroom!
