    godfather
    Bob manages to produce a show just as good as This Old House with the help of 5 people. Three of them are freelancers. He can distill a process so the average viewer can easily understand what is new or different. Occasionally, Bob moves the program ahead at the expense of the person who is on camera with him. This might be seen as being rude. Sears was a sponsor of Bob's show until they were bought by K Mart, who thought that Ty was more to their liking. Ty's "Extreme Makeover" has a lot of emotion but not a lot of how to information. There should be room for both of them on TV. We hope that Bob stays around for a long time. He is the godfather of "how- to" programs.
