What I find hilarious about House Hunters is that in one house, everything is always "amazing" and they say it every time they walk into a new room. I dig the International one though, just because it's cool to see how people live in other countries and whatnot. Island Hunters is also interesting; here's a multi million dollar island with a $45 dollar shack on it.

Right now my favorite shows on tv are Fargo and Nathan For You, and I watch Walking Dead just because I like zombies, but the show is kind of dragging a bit this season.

i love how everybody on house hunters seems to need so much room for all the entertaining they do. "this kitchen is way too small to hold buffets in" or "gosh. We couldn't have anyone we know including our children using the same sink let alone waiting for the bathroom." i'm sorry, but we had five people living in a house with one bathroom when i was growing up and it was sometimes necessary to brush your teeth while someone else was taking a shower/bath. That's why they invented curtains.

but its not like every kitchen in europe has the same exact layout, surely the new kitchen would look haphazardly put together?

If you handcrafted it like WhyFi maybe you'd understand.

I'd love to get into wood-working but I probably need to eliminate a hobby first. Hard to let go of one though: bikes, cycling (totally different hobby than bikes), cars, photography, random new project ideas not involving wood.

I am trying to resist. That original post is such a morass displaying as it does the improper and ineffective use of punctuation, capitalization, and sentence fragments that it would be easy to spend way too much time deconstructing then reconstructing it.

Two sentences that set me off immediately were "My weight was also through the roof! I was 30lbs overweight!" Seriously?! WTF, man?! What kind of body dysmorphic world does this guy live in? Would I be happy if I were thirty pounds overweight or if LoP was? No, but I had gestational diabetes and have other family history so it's not just for aesthetic reasons or cuz I'd have to help pedal both of us up hills. That being said, did this poster pause for even a moment to consider how some of the Clydes and Athenas who started out riding or are now riding their bikes weighing 100 pounds more than their doctor would advise would feel reading his assessment? "Geez. If this guy's weight was through the roof at thirty pounds over, what does that make me?" What an inconsiderate jackass!

Of course, we could tell that right off by the way he pushed to the front of the pack thus forcing the better riders to reroute around his nearly lifeless form should he collapse from his attempt to power through on adrenaline instead of air. I'm just sorry he didn't throw up when he wanted to.

Wait. Are you saying that a TV industry award can be described as prestigious?

I suppose I have to admit that Modern Family is every bit as good as Survivor: Botswanaland.

i agree with this

i was never a big "lets go to france" guy till this show. i saw a couple looking for a house in a small quiet villiage and now going to nowheresfille france is on my bucket list

it was like an old cartoon, you open your kitchen window on the second floor and youre overlooking a 6 foot wide "street" and you could shake hands with your neighbor on the other side

very strangely though, the french take their cabinetry with them when they move, its like furniture. i dont understand that concept at all

My experience of European kitchens which was, admittedly, limited to two in Germany many years ago, is that there is not available storage for lots of processed and packaged foods or even produce because you go to the store every day or every few days to buy what you need fresh. There were also no giant refrigerators because only the people shopping in the PX or commissary were buying gallons of ice cream or milk or boxes of cereal the size of an infant.
