I have to tell you, I am not a big fan of network television... if it has commercials I have to sit through, it had better be a pretty damn good show. The shows I DO watch are usually found on the Discovery, History, or The Learning Channel. That's where I ran into Trading Spaces. It has become the only network TV show I'll suffer through advertisements for. TS never fails to deliver. If you take nothing more from the show than a lesson in what NOT to do with your house, it's usually fun and funny time spent (ok a lot of the designs are really good but there are some that...whew...). The designers are pretty kooky and Ty is a hoot. Paige Davis is nice and fun but what ever happened to Alex McLeod? I've watched the show from the beginning and that one was never explained
ahh well. I've seen some episodes that if you walked into your house after one of these designers got through with it, you might just want to go postal on them. Seeing the couple's reactions to some of the fiascos is admittedly a guilty pleasure of mine. IMO one of the best shows on TV. I hope it stays around for a while.
