Reviews

crash21 TLC and the Discovery Channel used to only show their home and garden shows during the daytime on weekdays, then they would show their programs for intelligent people in the evening and on the weekends, this was tolerable. But Trading Spaces started a chain reaction that has basically destroyed the "Learning" factor in TLC.I don't even understand why this show is so popular, all this show really is, is a few hippie abstract artists wasting a lot of money and materials to turn people's rooms into a bunch of hideous wasted space. Their remodeling jobs are a joke, they are so ugly, and such an inefficient use of the space. I don't understand why anyone would even want them to come near their house, let alone, invite them to remodel it.To make things worse, in the end, what happens if the people whose homes they modified don't like what they did? They just wasted a lot of time, money, and materials, so a bunch of brain dead people can sit on their couch and watch a worthless TV show. They could do the same thing on a stupid TV set, and their viewers would never know the difference!They might as well change the channel's name from "The Learning Channel" to something like HGTV, because TLC currently has nothing to do with learning. Maybe some day soon the owners of the Discovery networks will come to their senses and bring back their superior programming, because their viewers, or should I say "former viewers", really miss it. Thanks to this, all TLC stands for anymore is "Totally Lame Crap"

otisburg It might take awhile for you to remember people's names (host Paige, designers Doug, Laurie, Vern, etc., carpenters Ty and Amy Wynn), but once you do you'll be hooked! Everyone pretty much knows the premise: neighbors/relatives/friends swap houses and, with the help of a carpenter and guidance from a designer, spend up to $1,000 redecorating one room. Oh yeah, and they have 2 days to accomplish this.I don't know that I'd want these designers having free reign in my house, but there are lots of times I like bits 'n' pieces of their overall idea. I may not like that they're painting the kitchen orange, but I do like how they are growing bluegrass in little pots in the windowsill.Also, it's great when the couples argue with the designers about changing stuff. Makes you wonder why they volunteered to be on the show in the first place if they wanted to keep it the exact same? If you really end up liking the show, there's a website called Television Without Pity that re-tells each episode with their own snarky comments. It's hilarious and makes watching the episodes even more enjoyable.

bacoby13 This show is pure sugar coated, finger lickin', good wholesome AMERICAN fun.Nevermind the British to American whiners who think this show pales incomparison to its British counterpart. Lucky for me, and a good majority of the Trading Spaces viewers, I haven't seen Changing Rooms, so this show, to me,is excellent fun. (although, if I had BBC America, I know I'd watch it) Okay, so some of the designs aren't all that great, but the best part aboutwatching the show is finding out if the design will turn out! There are always a few gems for every nasty design, and the patient viewer will likely agree.Personally, all of the current season 3 designers are excellent, including Hildi, who doesn't just fancy black (although she does wear it a lot). I've seen some amazing designs of hers, but it seems some people are just too close minded.But I am indeed grateful for the much needed departure of Dez...*shudder*. I'm sad to see Laurie gone this season, because of her maternity leave, but I hope the two new designers, Edward and Kia offer some great surprises in herabsence. Laurie and Amy Wynn make the show for me, in my opinion. Paige isalso another great insert after the departure of the bland, but sometimesentertaining Alex McLeod. Other then that, if your amazingly bored on a Saturday evening or weekdayafternoon, and you happen to glance at the clock and see that its 8 or 4 o' clock, why not turn it to TLC and check out this wonderful show. Its guaranteed to lift your spirits, no matter how bad the designs may be. And believe me, some ofthem can be pretty bad. 10/10. Great, Addicting, American Fun.

BlackJack_B Here in Canada, we have several American cable channels such as TBS, A&E, TNN, CNN, CNBC and Headline News. We also have the The Learning Channel, a network that I'd rid myself of if I could. However, that won't happen anytime soon, because my live-in mother is addicted to TLC's Saturday-night hit, Trading Spaces.Trading Spaces (another import from Europe, no surprise) has a pair of couples who go into the other's homes and redecorate a room with a $1000 U.S. budget and two days to do it in. We get to see these people in what could be labeled as "reality home improvement" as they battle to get the place looking the best with the help of interior decorators, carpenters, and others. Then we see the reactions of the two couples.I will admit that the show can be intriguing at times and that Paige Davis is a perky, spunky, and very cute host. Still, this show can be silly and kitschy (though not cheesy, that's reserved for Britney Spears and her ilks videos) most times. A lot of the people they find aren't, shall we say, camera friendly. While everyone else wears fancy clothes, the couples are forced to wear lame looking bowling shirts with the "Trading Spaces" logo. Also, the theme music sounds like Night Court's music all remixed! Guys, it's 2002, not 1985, get something 21st century.Honestly though, the show can be a good watch at times, and TLC is using it wall-to-wall on the dead Saturday night. Paige is a cool host, but the show needs some changes made to it before I can recommend it. I'd rather watch that couple on Canadian Tire commercials do a home improvement show than this right now.
