I really liked this show when it started. Where else could you see grown men using a sewing machine and talking about "window treatments", when they'd rather be watching football on TV. It was hilarious. Then they dumped the beautiful and sexy Alex and hired that airhead bimbo Paige. Then they changed the theme music from bouncy and fun to what I call Starbucks Sleepytime. During its heyday, the TS forum at tlc.com was extremely busy, a single day's posts would stretch over four pages. I think the show nosedived because the novelty wore off. Yes it was fun watching peoples' houses being ruined by overtly feminine male decorators, but then viewers started thinking "hey, they could be doing the same thing to my house...yuck" and they started tuning out. I hear this is the last season, well good riddance, it outlasted its welcome.

Just what the summary says. It's still bringing in more than 10 million viewers every Saturday, and that makes money. The words of a few thousand people on the internet can't compare to the millions of people who idol-worship this show. (I'm not one of them)

This is one of my family's 'guilty pleasures'. Featuring no known stars, you basically get to watch other people re-design rooms, and although it soundsbanal, trust me, it's AMAZING. I've watched this from the very beginning, through several different 'hosts', and it never fails to amuse.I can't really comment on the acting or anything else, as it's a documentary of sorts, but I will say that some of the families put on some very brave faces for the camera. The rooms do NOT always come out great, in fact I'd have to say that a lot of them stretch the boundaries of good taste, but that happens to be what I love in a reality television show!I'd give this a 7 out of 10, and look forward to the distant future when they show 'nostalgic' shows of how we lived at the begining of the century!

I love this show! There is one comment that I didn't agree with. Having the designers stay and do the homework. The whole premise for the show is that the HOMEOWNERS do the work. Yes, the designers do help, but they are there for their artistic (or sometimes lack-there-of)abilities. It would cost well over $1000 if the homeowners were paying for the the time and work the designers put into the rooms. Most of the designers have their own companies, so getting a complete re-vamp of a room, for $1000 is a steal, when you think of what some designers charge per hour!
