I am watching six year old reruns of
This Old House, on what used to be
DoItYourself channel but now is called
Magnolia, which is run by the couple that had the
Fixer Upper supposed house improvement show, and Warner Brothers.
If you ever watched their old show fixer upper show , but now know of their financial status, all the talks of money issues on the old show were total BS.
At that, I am surprised to find
This Old House on that channel as from the get-go it was a PBS channel show.
It still is odd - if you see a new/er episode of the show on PBS how much the gents have aged or been replaced due to retirement or death. (the landscaper who was there for decades is a lot younger than me and died , suddenly, last summer.)
It is still an intereting show, but the - this old house - part is just part of the title for a long, long time now.
Now it is more the latest greatest stuff you should use. Not any thing to do with old house and low/er do it yourself improvement/fixe.
Sadly , Bob Villa , who started the show and was kicked off, had his own show but the channel that carried rerus of his new , years back, show
Home Again was zapped by CBS and now is an all minority sit-com channel.
I guess I should be glad that even though the former DoItYourself channel is run by millionaires who used to pretend they were home rebuilders on a tight budget, now carry reruns of
This Old House as Public Broadcasting channel has very , very few of the Sat. morning shows I used to watch every Sat. morning. While the rerun channels seem to be dropping good shows from the sixties to eighties for newer crap shows.
PBS Reruns of the shows I used to watch every week, on PBS, IF they still are being aired, now run EARLY weekday mornings, so if I were still working the hours I did for decades I could not watch them anyway, but I rarely, extremely, get up at Five Thirty in the morning and turn on the TV.
End of rant.
