Home Town is my favorite renovation show on HGTV. Ben and Erin have great chemistry and are fun to watch. It a refreshing show compared to all the Flip or Flop, Fixer Upper, etc. These are people that truly care about their community and restoring the beautiful historic homes. I love Erin's artistic water color renditions she gives each family -she's an artist afterall! She and Ben have great ideas for repurposing and the houses turn out gorgeous! Such a pleasure to watch and would have them renovate a house for me in a heart beat.

The hosts are charming, however the quality of work seems very poor. Especially the painting over of unprepped damaged materials and paint stains everywhere including glass when repainting windows. That's personally annoying as it seems like there is no $#*!s given as a child could paint with more due diligence. Not to mention the use of hideous antiques that have no charm and the personally created furniture pieces are also severely lacking in quality workmanship. Basically the finished products look generally unappealing despite the charisma of the hosts. I enjoy watching them, but some of the work is cringeworthy.

I'm an avid watcher of your network, but this show's host is so phoney baloney that practically nothing he utters sounds authentic. And his new promo campaign is so over the top I switch the channel as soon as I see one of these stupid commercials. Doesn't anyone there edit or direct him? Or does he have such an avid following that he continues to get away with this? I finally had to write this review because I just couldn't stand watching him anymore. Someone needs to tell him not to be so arrogant...

SHAME ON YOU. HGTV. I watch your shows all the time, one of my favourite channels. I was so DISGUSTED and DISAPPOINTED today watching HOME TOWN today. Watching season 2 episode 2 and in this day and age hearing as the boys were talking about making a large dining room table that the younger brother used the N word. I actually rewound the show as I could not believe my ears. I will now have to rethink if I can continue to watch any more programs which is sad as I love all the shows.

Rarely watch, now. What I became bothered by is the hours and hours of the same show, which actually may be a cable provider issue. So even if I was a fan of Fixer Upper or House Hunters or tolerated Property Brothers, the fact that any show is on for hours on end meant that I would eventually tire of it. Even the beloved Sarah, Candace. I like variety. If I dislike a show (Love It or List It, Flip or Flop, or those shows about the private lives of the Property Brothers) then I don't watch HGTV for hours and hours. Easily skip a day or two (especially since I work). I'm not a binge-watcher anyway but if it's pouring buckets outside on a Sunday afternoon, I used to enjoy having HGTV on while I did "x" around the house. Lastly, I'm not much into gardening but what happened to the "G" in HGTV? Again, "variety" is what draws and keeps me.

Well I enjoy many if the HGTV shows. I think the new Christina seems to be an opportunity to show off her breasts no real substance to the show whatever..

I know what it is like to flip houses, and work hard at it. Why do you keep airing shows like Flip or Flop? O. k. I understand divorce and all, but really?
You don't flip a house in painted nails and jewelry. You don't flip a house complaining about conditions anytime! You put up with the good and the bad!
They should act like professionals! PLEASE PERMANENTLY REMOVE THE SHOW! YOU ARE EMBARRASSING YOURSELF HAVING THEM ON T. V. CONTINUALLY!

Flip or Flop with Tarek & Christina could have continued success if the divorce drama was removed from the script. Viewers do not care or need to know who is dating who and if one is jealous of the other. Christina's rolling eyes is immature and unprofessional. I'm glad to see that Tarek is taking the lead and making decisions and most importantly not letting Christina walk all over him. It's really nice to see her not always getting her way.
If Christina can't grow up than perhaps HGTV write her out of the show and let Tarek get back to basics teaching viewers what to do and not do when flipping homes. He has a lot to offer without the soap opera drama.
