I would like to make a complaint about the music thats always playing in the background of some of the showes,mainley the home buying show(7:30) every night. This is uncalled for when your trying to listen to people talk. Please take this off so we can start watching this show again.

Thank you

Mrs. Dyer

I was in love with HGTV and watched it incessantly until the last year. It is no longer a channel I ever watch. You have systematically removed every show I liked and apparently are hell bent on continuing on the path of house hunting until the cows come home. The do it yourself oriented decorating and landscaping shows which I loved are gone totally from your evening programming and only sometimes appear on your daytime menu. Decorating cents, all of the landscaping shows, Designed to Sell, Hidden Potential,Surprise Gardner, Freestyle, to mention a few have gone to HGTV's graveyard and left are programs which hold absolutely no interest for me and my friends who formerly were HGTV junkies.

HGTV once offered something for everyone with its vast repertoire of shows; now it offers only one track for someone who obviously is not me nor my contemporaries. I really hate that, but I guess in the name of updating and progress someone decided once again to "fix " something that was not broken. You fixed it all right!!

P.S. tell David Bromstead to put on a shirt. And Carter too.

please, please, please! no more property virgins, no more lauren lake and her inane kitchen redos boring! ie. maple cabinets, granite counters. stainless steel appliances! with all the amazing new products that are available why the hum drum? How I miss kitty bartholomew, decorating cents and the like, the ones that made hgtv so popular. America has some of the most beautiful houses in the world and certainly some of the most charming, many of us out there in viewer land would love to see cottages, country houses, traditional homes, and most of all our historical colonials which are still so popular and for those who favor a more trendy vibe, innovative use of new materials. I am an interior designer and am a licensed realtor so I know what homeowners revere. I do love house hunters and design to sell(which in this economic climate was providing a valuable tool for many homeowners). Hope my opinion would encourage the powers that be have a more open mind.

I miss the good old decorating shows too. Can you please take all the realty shows and combine them and form a new network involving people who want to buy and sell houses. How about us poor slobs that are stuck with the houses we have and want to spend their money wisely to update it without breaking the bank. How many of your viewers have enough money to buy a house in another country? Enough that it is a popular show. Where did Decorating Cents go I miss that lady that grabbed a paintbrush and pitched in and you were doing projects that the average homeowner could do and afford? I have many friends that say the same thing they miss the shows that made HGTV so popular. I am sick to death of realtor shows!!!!!!!

More real gardening shows please like Gardening by the Yard and Gardener's Diary. Please no more landscaping for people with loads of money or quickie one day gardening makeovers.

Understand Paul James is scheduled for demolition on your network!!?!?! Say it isn't so! He's a real gardener who loves it as much as the rest of us. Do you think everyone out here has "big house" envy? It's really getting boring watching shows that insist on "granite and stainless steel appliances" being the norm. There are millions of us regulars out here who neither could or would have that stuff, but love gardening and home fix up.Tune in or lose us.

I have enjoyed SOME of the home reno shows...especially Holmes on Homes...BUT...why are there no gardening shows?!!!! NONE?!!! I don't watch the reno channel now as the gardening shows have been dropped! Sorry, but has not the interest anymore...I am even willing to put up with all the advertisements/commercials, for a few good gardening shows!!! Jane Bray

I was a huge fan of HGTV but now there are only a few good shows. The rest are just junk. Most of us watching are do it yourselfers. We want shows that show us how to garden, take us through beautiful gardens, like gardeners diary. I hate that you find one subject then make tons of different programs from it that basically show the same thing over and over. I am glad it is spring I don't have to try and find decent programs on HGTV. I used to watch all the time now it is boring most the time. GARDENING is in what your name implies. Gardening is missing. And not those dumb shows on Sat. mornings that only cater to those who have mega bucks. Good Practical advice on how to plan a real garden would be great.

Sick of the line up on HGTV

Gardening? Is that what the G stands for? You wouldn't know it by the programming. There are house buying shows and remodeling shows and some shows with landscaping. The landscaping shows even have some green leafy material with flowers in them. But these items aren't planted, they are INSTALLED. Maybe this spring, I will install some red petunias. I hope I can figure out how to do it because this part of the program is always skipped over. It's so much more dramatic to show big screen TVs outside Who can afford this? How long before the same yard appears on an episode of COPS because the TV is mysteriously missing. Is this type of show really popular?

I love Gardening by the yard. Thank goodness I wake up at the crack of dawn on Sunday when it's broadcast. Paul James shows the basics and works in real gardens and appeals to the common person. He is never boring. If you want to improve this channel, give him 6 hours daily of programming. It's ok to leave a remodeling show on, I chuckle every time I see a professionally remodeled room with the inevitable wrinkled drapes hanging in the windows.

For several years I have sent letters, called, emailed when you use to be able to. I don't understand the lack of G in HGTV. I started watching HGTV the day it went on the air, I loved all the garden show, the garden specials, etc. It was my favorite channel, now I rarely watch. There are tons of gardeners out there, just like me, who are so disappointed of the lack of good garden shows. We all love Gardeners Diary and that wonderful show from Canada "Gardeners Journal". I could never get enough of those shows! I love Paul James and heard he is getting the ax, who made that stupid decession? He has been on HGTV from the beginning, if I remember right. There were many good garden shows over the years, good quality shows the people loved. I have begged for you to bring back Gardeners Journal, an excellent show. I am grateful that you do have Gardeners Diary back on, but they are reruns, better than nothing, I will watch them over and over. Gardeners like me are starved for garden shows! Why don't you start a "Gardening Channel"? I am sure their are tons of products that would love to be advertised on a Garden channel or garden show. Get real, listen to the people! People want GARDEN SHOWS! I have read many forums and many complaints all saying the same thing. Where is the G in HGTV? Even on your own forums people complain of the lack of garden shows. Don't you people ever listen? PLEASE bring back the good garden shows and do not take Paul James off the air! Maybe you should go to gardenweb.com, they have a campaign going to try and get you to listen, check out the winter sowing forum to start or the hosta forum,look for posts about HGTV, many people have posted.

"Where have all the Gardening Shows gone, long time passing". Your losing viewers by the millions. No one, and I mean no one, want's to watch a house buying show, especialy ones in another country. Have you not heard there is a recession, no one's buying house's. We are all trying to improve the ones we have. Home decorating,and Gardening are the things we're needing info one the most. Canceling Paul James......shame on you, and for canceling all the rest of the gardening and home deco shows too. Bring back the shows that put you one the map.
One "ex" and very unhappy viewer.

During these times when every penny counts the only type of shows you now have on HGTV are ones with no budgets! The shows that had a budget, Decorating Cents, Design Remix and Freestyle you have cancelled two of them. These 3 shows were the best shows you have ever had on your station. I learned more on these shows and could not wait to see the program next week. I have spoken with several women who watched HGTV at one time but no longer have any interest because the shows you have on now are all about how much money you can spend. I hope you read my letter to you and maybe we could get Joan and Karen and that curley haired guy back on Freestyle again. I miss these programs, God Bless you and yours.

Sincerely
Arlene

Bring back Freestyle and Decorating Cents. I don't want to watch any more 20-somethings buying houses with jumbo mortgages.
