Hmmmm, opeing theme song anyone? "our house"? Nah, too calm."stairway" to Heaven? Wrong theme.
Jail"house" rock.....maybe...not bad! Might even be a good name for a show....wink wink

In his first interview since the stroke, Ram Dass, 66, spoke with great difficulty about how his brush with death has changed his ideas about aging, and how the recent loss of two old friends, Timothy Leary and Allen Ginsberg, has convinced him that now, more than ever, is the time to ``Be Here Now.''

Did you hear TOH has a new theme song? The other one they had problems with copyrights, so new song. I don't have tv, so thus haven't heard it.
Did I tell you that one of Lars is clients is wanting him to send an article to TOH for an entry (I guess) on some historical porches he has been working on. I know some here hate the mag., but I find they have some good aspects in them once in a while. Tamara
Nice gig for Lars. Congrats. I bet Andy E would be more than happy to publish an article with pics from Lars. Write him. He's always asking for articles.
I got a few free TOH rags but sent them the cancel notice. I didnt think it was wortht he money. Kinda like a DYI rag. I do however subscribe to Old House Journel and like that 2nd best to FHB. Seems a lot more professional than TOH. I like it more than JLC as well which is third on my list. My number one is still FHB.
Good luck with and let us know where and when Lars does the article.
Well, back to my bathroom (to work on it...lol)
Be well
Namaste

Can you believe 20 years and then a copyright problem!! Someone is after "a piece of the action".
I read TOH for one reason. My clients read it and I will be asked about something in it so I must be prepared. I no longer subscribe. A few minutes a month at Barnes & Nobles does it for me. I know. I am a bit af a smoocher. Get over it.

theme song anyone? "our house"?
For the Andy & Piffin show?
Only if we can get Cross Canadian Ragweed to cover the tune--or maybe get Soundgarten to cover "House of Bule Lights" . . .
or hows about "another brick in the wall"?

another brick in the wall
Like that. But, who by? (Just too easy to use the original--and the royalty/copywrites are a pain--just ask Napster . :) . )
And, no, getting the Yupers to do a polka version, or the Giesenslaws to do a hillbilly version, would probably send too clear a message about the show . . .

NOT HARDLY!
I'd go for something like the "Greensleeves" instrumental
(Sorry Newf - you can't post those lyrics here)
It seems that TOH is looking for somebody who can be manipulated into saying what the producers want..

New host?
If it's true the producers must be reading Breaktime.
Apparently not. The new host is a banker:
New This Old House Host
Sounds like they found a great replacement for Steve.
''I've never been on TV or hosted before. When I got the word, I was thrilled and shocked.''
Back in January, O'Connor, 34, and his wife, Kathleen, were struggling with a wallpaper problem in their new home and wrote to the show for help.
Now I hate the judge the guy before I even see a show, but don't think maybe, just maybe they should be looking for someone with at least a slight background in the trades, or maybe even someone with a little on air time?

CAG, appears to me that is just what they don't want. I think the new host will see much less airtime than Steve. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he sees much less job site time as well, maybe they'll just tape him in studio for brief introductions to set up each episode.
Twenty years ago Norm and Tom and Rich were tradesmen who were more comfortable off camera than on. They've got a lot of on camera experience now and Morash probably decided to expand their roles by using a part time, unexperienced host.
New Host?
Let our imagination run wild. How about Brittany Spears? Pam Anderson? I can just imagine wet TShirts, tight cutoffs and a nail belt right below the navel stud. Or those Miller Lite wrestling girls. I watch it every week.
Then I wake up and its Anna Nicole. Can you imagine her in a nail belt? Or her using a nail gun, drunk and on pills? What a hoot!Regards,
Boris
"Sir, I may be drunk, but you're crazy, and I'll be sober tomorrow" -- WC Fields, "Its a Gift" 1934
Ill bet this new guy is going to be more of a co-host. It seems that Norm is too old to swing a hammer so he is more of a co-host also.
> or maybe even someone with a little on air time?
Why not somebody who already has a SAG card? Or are they a non-union show?
-- J.S.
They don't get cards on TOH, they get signs.
stupid signs that is.
Bob had one, Steve was born with one, guess we'll see if they break the streak with the banker guy...
Gotta have some smarts to be a VP of what ever at a bank right?View ImageGo Jayhawks..............Next Year and daaa. Blues View Image
Bob had one, Steve was born with one
Bob's creds were being the son of a "South Bay Portugee" plasterer. So, he was always troweling things early on.
Steve used to always want to drive the excavator's latest equipment.
My favorite was on Bob's second show, Home Again, 'his' carpenter was Bob, too. (Always wondered who turned around when someone said "*^#&*$# Bob!") Bob always wore an oxford shirt and white painter's overalls on TV. One one project, carpenter Bob was mitering some planks, and attempted to miter his support hand as well. He's missing the last joint of the left "pinkie" as was . . .
Still better than Trading Spaces, or hometime with jojo or robin or whoever this season . . .
Don't get me started on trading spaces.

Oh great a dumb arse that can’t even hang wall paper is going to host Americas most popular home improvement show!!!
If they want an enthusiastic-dim bulb-host, they should at least get one with bodacious ta ta's!!!

now Scott!

"Bob's creds were being the son of a "South Bay Portugee" plasterer. So, he was always troweling things early on."
If that's true and I don't doubt it, how come he could never trowel on plaster, I always got a kick out of seeing him with a trowel and hawk in hand.
Did you see the one where Bob "Rielly"(that's what Bob V) always called him, had the hand wrapped in gauze, Bob V asked him what happened and Rielly said that's what happens when you take the guard off the equipment.
I agree with you though, better than Hometime with Robin or Jo Jo or whichever "wife" Dean is on, he must harasse the hell out of the women, they never stay around.
Doug
Did you see the one where Bob . . . had the hand wrapped in gauze
Yeah, that's the one I meant. Liked the way BV turns it into a "moment" to consider safety while on the job. Then the next project they are throwing 8 x 8' chunks of roof sawsalled off to the ground with a belated "heads up" . . . Or the huge wall sections tipped up with only some spikes and stray bits of strapping to keep the female dog on the second floor . . .
