Hello,
Is it just me, or do others agree that the series “This Olde House” and “Ask This Olde House” have strayed from their original purposes?
When I first started watching “This Olde House”, the show was all about restoration, repairing, and fixing, all related to actual old houses. These shows illustrated woodworking techniques that were very interesting to me. For the last few years, all that I see are shows about building new (and usually very grand and expensive) houses. I can’t understand what this has to do with “old houses”.
And to me, the same thing is true of “Ask This Olde House”. When it first started, I enjoyed watching Tom Silva demonstrate woodworking techniques, etc. Now, all that I see are episodes in which Roger is pruning a shrub or Rich is fixing a leak in a toilet tank. Tom isn’t in the show very much anymore. The show seems to be more about gardening than about anything else.
Or am I just being too critical of the show?
Louis
