Am I the only red-blooded male who is sick and tired of my wife watching all these freaking design shows on TV????

If I wanted cinnamon walls, I would have just sprinkled some onto it???

Stop the insanity!!!!

Please help :(:|:confused::roll:

That total home makeover show is trying FAR too hard to be overly emotional. But it sure sells some commercials. Ridiculous. They act like a new home will solve all their problems.

Don't even start me on this! That guy from Extreme Makeover needs some valium...I get tired from watching him. He's like a kid with ADD.

We need some good furniture making and carpentry series. Not this "let's figure out what color matches the carpet" ad infinitum.

We need David Marks and Norm Abram type shows.

Manly ones :D

1. Disconnect cable/satellite.
2. Watch less TV.
3. Profit! (save money, health, and sanity ;) )

We need more how-to-do-it-yourself shows rather than home makeover shows

What are the chances that they'll come to my house and totally remodel it? Slim to nil.

If you have Tivo, you can get a few shows recorded. The number worth watching are few though. Should be more :D

solution: don't watch them.

I can't remember the last time I've seen one of those annoying design shows. it was probably in college, and it was probably my SO forcing me to watch it.
