Fixer Upper (2013–2018)
10/10
LOVE this show! Values, Charisma and Genuine Charm!
4 March 2016
This is a marathon I can watch over and over again. These two have legitimate experience and passion for their work. I enjoy that the show highlights their farm and family as well. They do versatile renovations with respect to each clients taste and preferences. Joanna seems to have a true passion for finding the perfect design and cares very much about the process. Chip can probably tone down the antics, it's cute but does get a little silly overload. The values that they instill to their family resonates with viewers and it seems their clients as well. These two are getting it right! Excellent example to have on the television with kids running around and elderly parents visiting. Everyone loves it!

Flip or Flop (2013–2022)
1/10
FLOP! HGTV, please take this off the air!
4 March 2016
I'm a fan of all things HGTV, flipping and even flopping. But this show is just cringeworthy. I wouldn't feel the need to write anything about it, except for that HGTV is my go-to channel when I feel like vegging out in front of the TV or sometimes falling asleep to it. ......EXCEPT when they have this ridiculous show on a marathon, I'll sadly move over to the DIY network every time. And it looks like I'm not alone.

I'm almost offended at HGTV's move to showcase two people that appear to spend more time in hair & makeup than they do pursuing due diligence on home flipping. Not to personally knock them, but this couple has no chemistry, no personality, no talent for script reading, and no credibility. "These struggling RE Agents trying their hand at flipping after the RE crash" MY @SS!! Driving around Range Rovers and Cadillacs, flashing designer accessories and several wardrobe changes per episode. They clearly read off of scripted cards, I can read for myself HGTV, why don't you just do a closed caption show with no dummies? I'd prefer that. What is this nonsense you're trying to feed your viewers???

I CANNOT stand to listen to the wife speak. She is not the example I want my children to watch on a home and garden network. Her rude judgemental comments about these "undesirable" million dollar homes is CRINGEWORTHY! Her vocabulary is elementary, at best. And she just comes off as cold, unapproachable and unkind. It's obvious she's taken criticism for her perceived persona by viewers and has made weak attempts to seem more "likable". It's not working, in fact, her fake smiling while she talks to the camera looks creepy, and desperate. I'm never gonna buy it HGTV, please just take them off the air. Replace them with Fixer Upper! THAT is a valuable show with charisma, personality and genuine charm.
