Denied entry

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have been entering the HGTV sweepstakes for years. I began my entry in the new contest, only to be kicked out and told I did not meet eligibility, although no reason was given. I cannot find any way to contact them to find out what the problem is. I am kicked out after just entering my email. No idea why

Repetition of Fixer Upper

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I am a stalwart viewer of HGTV, however the constant showing of Fixer Upper, I show I faithfully viewed, is now ridiculous. This is important especially for those of us house bound. Isn't it time to perpetuate or bring back sooner other shows? Love the changing of the Flip or Flop shows and was waiting for the Ford and Vegas shows to come back and they did. But at this point I think I can repeat the lines Chip And Joanna say. I find myself watching the news or the weather and reading a lot more. This doe not just apply to you I find this on the Food Network also. At least the Brothers and Flip or Flop shows eventually change. But Fixer Upper- come on. If I could go out I certainly would just not to watch , which I do not anymore a show that I really liked. For what we pay for cable it is also a financial same. Thank you, Elvira Carpino, mpc342@***.net Sad

Ok Elvira let me help you understand exactly how cable T V works. It’s all about money.

The reason they run these shows continuously is that they are already paid for. Each new show costs them money, money they get from advertisers. That money goes to pay for all their internal operations, including shows. What this means is that if they own a show they can run it without having to pay more money and the revenue generated by advertising is greater.

It also pays the actors of those shows extra money, also known as syndication residuals. While I’m sure you are tired of seeing the same shows over, they MUST do this! It’s how. NEw shows are afforded.

They have to generate revenue if they are going to stay on the air. I’m not sure you really understand the costs for even a C or D Level production. Everyone wants to get paid!!!! And there are a lot of unions in film/television production.

So yes it’s frustrating to see the same selection of shows over and over again, but it’s important they do it. I suggest you change the channel, or invest in streaming.

I agree Fixed Upper needs to be taken off HGTV, that's all you run over and over, ENOUGH!!

Guest

I agree! Enough is enough!

Change it up!

There has to be better shows to run than that! I love HGTV, but you are losing viewers with running Fixed upper 24x7!

Nate and Jeremia show

On there show last night, June 2, 2019 Nate said cats smother people and get on your table and eat your dinner, so not true. I have had several cats over the years and the things he was saying were myths. I'm not enjoying there show anyway so this show I will not watch again.

Random commercial that isn't really a commerical

What is with the random screen shot that plays for 30-60 seconds then repeats over and over? One is for a show called you,me and her. The other is for the some Tracy Morgan show combined with Teen Titans. Please, make it stop. I can handle the other commercials, but these boring, repetitive screen shots make me turn the channel.

Awful!

I’ve watched at least ten episodes of this show. While the brother and sister team seem like nice people, the show should be renamed “Renovated by the Fords”. They seem to prefer to rip out the old and replace everything with contemporary construction. The show’s title is disingenuous and I hope everything they rip out of these homes finds a place in a true restoration project. Sorry HGTV, you missed the mark with this show. I won’t be tuning in to cringe at the next episode.

Programming

I have watched HGTV for years and I have to say this is the most boring it has ever been. I can only take so much property brothers and their shoot off shows. This program used to actually show us how to do things. Now it is all about buying and selling. I have all but quit watching the channel. Some shows like flip or flop, love it or list it etc are okay but show us how to garden, paint, build things....

Home Town - Trainwreck

They spent the $62,500 of the clients money on horrible workmanship. No wiring or plumbing was updated, scratch and dent appliances, flooring re - purposed from a gym? Where did her $60k go? Fireplace tuckpointing with a putty knife. Holmes on Homes would have shut you down!!!

Flip or flop atlanta

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I'm sitting here watching flip or flop Atlanta season 1 episode 11 and that couple makes me sick.. they cheap out on everything they do to the homes they are "renovating" they are cheaping out on putting Hardie siding on the home and just putting lipstick on a pig ( just doing the front of the house) how pathetic !!! She brags at the introduction of the show that they renovate 100 houses an year so if they make $25000 ( which they cried about on the last show that's $250**** That's right folks 2 million 500 thousand dollars a year profit I see why now!!! HGTV you need to look into your hosts better than your doing now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unable to activate your on demand service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I am very frustrated. I have Directv Now. We have been watching current HGTV shows and like to watch Love it or List it on demand. I have tried to activate HGTV and when I enter the code to activate I get a notice that says "Bad Gateway" I went into the AT&T store they could not help get it connected because they said the problem was at your end. I have asked numerous people for help and no one can figure it out, so I don't think it is just me. I have Directv NOW and use ROKO Will Munger 218-728-**** Land Line wmunger39@***.com

Inappropriate ads during family show

Feb. 9, 2019 at 6:40 pm CST. An ad for a television show Rialto featuring violence and sexual content was shown during Fixer Upper. Then a highly graphic ad was show for a disturbing series or movie also during that break.

Agreed! What is their agenda?

Is the network not successful enough? Why are they showing inappropriate commercials that are forcing me to change the channel so my daughter doesn't see them? Have Chip and Joanna Gaines proven nothing - good wholesome tv can be uber successful?

There is absolutely NO need to show naked people, grotesque commercials, bleeps to cover foul language, etc! HGTV please go back to your roots and leave at least one family-friendly network intact.

Guest

Yes what is that commercial with the man sewing a scalp and face together and then putting it on?!?! My two year old was in the room while I was watching property brothers and it came on.

I couldn’t change the channel fast enough and she started screaming, “that’s scary!” It was even disturbing for my taste. This is not HBO. HGTV needs to stop showing this commercial immediately. Especially when they are showing shows that are advertised as rated-Y.

Their commercials should align with the rating as well. Unbelievable.

Yes, that is the other ad that I was referring to. They played it again today at about 5:30 in the afternoon during Property Brothers.

If I wanted to watch those shows, I wouldn’t be watching HGTV. Thank you for your response!

Entertainment now takes a backseat to advertising I would like to

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I find the practice of constantly cluttering up our TV screen with pop up program ads for *** other programs other than the one we are watching at the time to be rude, intrusive irritating and annoying, is it possible for you to show some respect for the program and a viewer and cease these constant distractions ? It's bad enough there are twice as many minutes of commercials every hour as there used to be, now we have to put up with advertising while we are trying to watch a program! You used to run your program advertising during the commercial break but apparently that's five or 10 seconds you can sell some greedy advertiser, entertainment now takes a backseat to your corporate masters I guess!

Ruined House Hunters

Why did you change the format of House Hunters??? It's awful! No narrator and the constant movement of the camera is nauseating! This is House Hunters, not some stupid police show!!! Who's the idiot who decided to change the show...make it fresh and new!?!?! You couldn't be more wrong. Why would you change something that already worked. You people are the worst and should be fired. I will no longer watch your pathetic show and your attempt ot making it "more relevant".
