HGTV Tarek el moussa - flaunting white wealth constantly

HGTV is promoting white wealth and ignoring diversity! Tarek El Moussa constantly has to flaunt flying on 'Private planes', flying helicopters, his personal 'yacht', and buying unncessary amount of cars and now the video of him buying a girl he just met a Ferrari! HGTV please address this. What about the climate crisis with him flying everywhere. Ugh All his fans are complaining on instagram. Prop Brothers dont do this - they stay humble. Even his ex wife is very real and humble. Only Tarek feels the need to constantly posts his white wealth on instagram and middle class fans and minorities are getting sick of it!

HGTV Christina on the coast

Make it stop! As a former media buyer, I can tell you the reach and frequency is overwhelming...overkill. Hopefully the series will run its course, lack ratings and be off the air. Her fake looks, superficial personality, annoying voice and mediocre design talent add no overall value. Hopefully this show will be replaces with one of substantial value...the sooner the better!

Focusing on her personal life is not of interest to me. Not at all what I tuned into a design show for. I find her wardrobe choices are trashy and unprofessional, like a low-cut halter top to an initial client meeting! Who does that? What she's really selling isn't design services!

Ditto. When HGTV has so many quality alternatives - to give this talentless bimbo her own show is a crime. Only hope she's a money loser for the network and they come to their senses.

HGTV Fixer upper/love it or list it

I'm watching fixer upper and why is there a background lady saying random things like "the sun rises, the guy uses this tool" it's so annoying! I've never seen this in the past, it's very awkward almost like having captions but we all can see what's going on without someone saying Joann is planting flowers- obviously she is! Lol. Seriously annoying bc it's my favorite show in hgtv! The show is perfect itself without any commentator!
Next, love it or list it- the staff cannot be replaced. Nothing against the new people but it's simply not the same without the British accent and the bond that everyone shares.

HGTV Discrimination

Hgtv fails to incorporate diverse nationalities in their tv series. Other nationalities outside of Caucasian people watch hgtv also. There are no minorities on the show either. I have been boycotting HGTV, for about a year for this same reason. Please consider all Nationality groups when recruiting for the Tv shows. This is disturbing that HGTV doesn't include more diversity in their tv shows.

HGTV hgtv magazine delivery

I received the June 2019 issue today from someone on the other end of my complex who received it. Prior to this, the last issue I received was for October 2018. Whoever has this delivery contract is not reading the address and just delivering any where. The magazines are not being returned to me. Either refund me for missed issues or go back to USPS delivery.

HGTV Show - housefull and spouses

Why would you air such a program and promote polygamy?! This is not a normal lifestyle, nor is it even legal in the USA. I was horrified to see this at work the other day. What happened to your gardening programs? You are the home and garden channel, aren't you? We would love to see new gardens and gardening techniques rather than ridiculously expensive garden makeovers or the same house Hunter shoes over and over. Give us some variety! What happened your character? We don't want to see polygamy in any shape or form.

HGTV Love it or list it/property brothers, boise boys and others

How come only 1 or 2 seasons are available to watch of many fixer-upper shows which I binge watch...at least I want to. You show same episodes over and over and over. How come? Is there any way to watch other seasons of my favorite shows? It's making me write more so I'll say I LOVE these types of shows. From Restored by the Fords to that one in Laurel, Mississippi. I enjoy all of them and really want to catch up as I only started watching these shows a couple years ago.

HGTV Programming

Your programming seems a little lazy. Every day is fixer upper, and more fixer upper.
Why is fixer upper - reruns - on all day? Not everyone wants to watch this duo from the homophobic church all day. I have stopped watching hgtv and watch diy now instead, except on wednesdays when property brothers is on all day. Can you get more shows like property brothers? I liked david bromstad when he was designing spaces... His lottery dream house is ok too. For reference, I am a middle aged woman with a husband and three kids...

HGTV Product

Please consider finding other shows, instead fixer upper and property brothers reruns. The theme never changes. Fixer upper new style is a crossover to other show on the network, which reveals that the producers can't shake or come up with something new. Property brothers no matter what you pay for the house the other brother is going to set the budget to the remaining amount. Never a saving with that show. The drama line in both shows are consisted with adding more money "cut in the budget", which is always the case in love it or list it.
Please, consider not playing any of your show beyond 2018.

Thanks

HGTV hgtv magazine subscription

My most recent magazine delivery attempt failed. Due to the new delivery service, Doorfront Direct, the "Pops of Color" issue was laying on my driveway for two days of inclement weather. When I was able to pick it up, not even knowing what it was (I thought it was maybe a new area directory book or something else undesirable), I was understandably upset with the condition of HGTV Magazine. Although, there was a plastic sheet covering, it was obviously not water tight. Also, doesn't "door front delivery" imply that it would be delivered to my doorstep? Because it definitely was not!
I would appreciate a fresh new magazine delivered to my mailbox expediently. Thank you.

Not sure you got my first note. Just got my magazine about 7am this morning on the street by my mailbox. The note for front door say you will deliver our magazine to the front door. They missed the front door by about 30ft. This is Monday morning so it was delivered some time after 5pm on Sunday because that was the last time I was out front. Right now I do not like this service. You should take a look at the contract you signed because somebody is not doing what the name of the program says. This delivery was made to 1850 Belleair rd, Clearwater, Fl, 33764. For Nancy Holland.

HGTV scam

They're charging me $19.98 for a magazine subscription I didn't order! There was a $100, 000 makeover sweepstakes I signed up for. That's what the ad was for, a sweepstakes. Next thing I know I get an email charging me for.a subscription! This can't be right! Why would they do that?! How could they get away with it?! Please help me! I tried to go to the website they sent me to send them the payment, to complain about it but even the website is not working!

HGTV disturbing commercials

I enjoy watching hgtv with my family, especially House Hunters, Property Brothers, Beachfront Bargain Hunt and shows like that.
Yesterday, February 10th, we were watching Beachfront Bargain Hunt around 8:30/9pm and there was a VERY disturbing commercial for the show, the Walking Dead. This left all of us feeling awful and my children were scared from the graphic visuals. I had always thought that hgtv was a safe network where we didn't have to worry about commercials for disturbing or tasteless shows, especially since those don't even air on hgtv.

Pleading with you and other TV stations to please remove the Stanley Steamer vomiting baby commercial from your shows. It's not only once but it's on several times in the morning...while watching this channel and eating breakfast...do you see the issue?

I change the channel EVERY time it comes on if I can catch it in time.. It seems to be aired on NBC/ABC and your channel more than other stations.

I've already written to Stanley Steamer as I noticed many others have...but weeks go buy and it's still on.

Remote in hand at all times to change the channel..

Thank you for any attention you can give to this matter.

HGTV hgtv mag

I first received an email saying I owed for my magazine (never subscribed). Then a bill came in the bill. My daughter went on line and thought she had cancelled it. Now I am receiving the magazine and bills. I'm reading how this has happened to countless others. This is ridiculous. It's little stupid things like this that are not only a huge inconvenience, but can ding your credit score. I am currently on hold from the number I've found on this site.

HGTV allison victoria

I am so disappointed to see the commercial regarding the new show featuring Alison Victoria with a sledgehammer breaking concrete yet no safety glasses on. Is your company so intent on exploiting her as a sex object that they cannot use reasonable safety factors for fear it will ruin her audience's visual admiration ? Yes, the optical business is my trade, however, any building contractor that makes it past her cleavage would have taken notice her lack of SAFETY GLASSES!

HGTV hgtv urban oasis

I enjoy hgtv programming. I enjoy entering their contests like hgtv urban oasis. What I don't enjoy or agree with is their huge advertisements from ad providers like google. Unwary visitors to the site can be sucked in to scam sellers provided through the hgtv contest page. Before you buy, go to trustpilot.com and check out companies that flash pictures of really nice, cute tops and shoes, like justfashionnow or liligal, among others. The clothes you receive might be nothing like the pictures on hgtv's site. Shame on hgtv for blindly propagating sites like these and by not being discerning on which ads they allow on their contest pages. It reflects badly on them.

HGTV desert flippers - destroying a cactus

I am watching Desert Flippers and, while I have no major complaints about the show, I wanted to point out something that happened on Season 2, Episode 2 that I found disheartening:

They showed the group trying to move a huge cactus from the front yard of one of the homes. First, I don't understand why they needed to move a well-established cactus a few feet. It would have been far healthier for the cactus to leave it where it was.

Secondly, they were not moving it properly (the way a professional would) and it fell and some pieces of it broke. They were laughing and joking and making a fun go of hurting this cactus. After a cactus is moved, it may never flourish the way it had, especially since it was already so large.

I found it to be disrespectful of the local landscape and, frankly, painful to watch.
