This Old House certainly rocked! The acting is Brando-esque (the host is SO informative..I did not know how to rennovate a barn until I saw him explain it!) Had this show premiered a few years later, I think it would've worked RATING WONDERS on the new MTV. With the all-American good looks of Norm Abrams and his keen skill with the sawmill, it's enough to make any true blue-blooded New Englandman scream for the slaughtering of more pine trees. The parallel between this show and MTV Cribs, is amazing! In both shows we get to see oddball homes owned by strange people... The difference in This Old House is that they attempt to fix the homes up. Genius! This has got to be one of my favorite shows of ALL TIME!
