HGTV
Reviews and Complaints

We as women don’t come to HGTV to listen to political ads. We come there to get away from political ads and see things that are happening in the real world. Of course you guys have screwed that up by putting Kamala Harris Ads on TV. Well, let me tell you how we feel we as women worked. A rare ends off to get ahead to be successful in our careers and I could say from experience that I never once laid on my back or got on my knees to get there, the fact that I feel that your political ads are bias and you might be liberal nut cases makes a whole bunch of us like 26,000 that are in this group. Feel like we need to teach you What it means to go woke and go broke

I am very frustrated and hurt by the high percentage of blacks portrayed on My Lottery Dream Home TV show.

With blacks making up 20% of the population at most, why are the participants closer to 60 or 70% black? This is hurtful, woke, and stupid.

You are losing your white, Hispanic and Asian audiences.

I want to see people like myself.

I wouldn't have trouble with even 25 to 30%, but your show is over the top with black families.

Be fair, or you stand to lose not just me, but many more whites. We were your previous demographic.

I won't watch, and I urge others not to watch either...

This is a stupid woke move. Fix this before the show goes belly up!

On August 29th , 2023 an episode of House Hunters was aired featuring a couple viewing homes in Maui, HI.

This episode was shown at appx. 0200 EST on Direct TV.

We were saddened that your programming has not pulled Maui episodes in light of the recent tragedy on Maui due to the horrific wildfire. Instead of the light-hearted viewing this show provides, we were left wondering if the couple were in the path of the fire and lost their home or worse. Did this young couple survive?

If HGTV monitors programming for shows like House Hunters and insist on airing out-dated footage, please add an acknowledgement for the viewers and respectfully honor possible victims and communities before airing.

Thank you.

This channel is advertising Easy Loans (14 July 2023 @ 18:24) with an APR of 99.4%. This is shameful. This tv advert should be encouraging people who have no money to take out loans they will never pay back.

It is irresponsible to allow this. Who monitors your adverts?

The advert should be removed immediately. It is encouraging those people who ate unable to obtain a loan from a bank into getting into a financial difficulties for life which could lead to crime. It was on early in the evening as well encouraging young people.

Isn't HGTV and HGTV Canada are the same?

The listing for new shows like: Holmes Family rescue season 2 said to start on June 21st 2023 but that is not correct. This is not the first time this happens.

Also, the Renevator is suppose to play on Friday, June 30th at 8pm but it that is not correct it's House Hunters.

These two shows I would like to watch. Can you please let me know when these two show will play on HGTV Canada.

I can't watch demolition on HGTV anymore. I've always thought it was wasteful that perfectly good kitchen cupboards etc. were smashed instead of being removed for reuse, but yesterday I felt physically sick watching granite countertops being smashed to rubble which I assume will be tossed in a landfill. Granite is a mined resource that has many consequences that come with its extraction. It can be rationalized for household use when it is seen as a permanent fixture. It lasts forever and should always be removed and reused with respect to its natural durability and longevity. It should never be tossed in the trash.

i don't know who is in charge of directing your programs, but i'm really tired of the "cuteness" on the part of the stars! The programs stand on their own, if they are good and if they are good the cute comments and lame humor just detract. I have no complaint with technical information, decision making, etc. but the efforts to make the starts likeable ,I guess, is a real turn off. If I want humor or cuteness i'll find programs whose purpose is that. Don't need amateur hour on HGTV shows.

I am a lover of h g tv I love mostly all of the show but Sunday I was watching and I didn’t know that you showed Hh tv rental I thought that the show was based on people buying homes not renting them than I saw the realtors didn’t even show them the houses she had them go in by themselves and show their self I never seen that before ever it was so wrong because they did know what some of the rooms were for they didn’t know were they were going which wasn’t their fault because the agent didn’t go in to show them it was on the own channel please don’t ever do that again the show is called house hunters not rent hunters still watching love the show thank you

My issue is rock the block. I like the show, I don't like the choices of teams this year. However I watched the main suite tonight and I think all judging should be blind throughout the whole show. Why only tonight's show? Doesn't make sense. The whole entire first and final judging should be blind there is favoritism in the show always has. Ty I'm not a fan of either. David from lottery dream home is a good choice.

The last three years my email will not allow me to enter the contest. When I typed the birth year, three years ago, I typed the wrong birth year. So, I have not been allowed to enter the contests. This year I would really like to enter. My contact information is: Sharon Wilson, Claremore OK, Born September 10, 1943 (I'm plenty old enough), [protected]@msn.com

It's a short problem, just let me enter the contest. How hard can that be. When I hit the submit button, it says I don't have a long enough problem. It's not a long problem, it's a SOFTWARE problem. Fix it.

I was very surprised & even more disappointed that HGTV runs commercials for any My Pillow Guy, Mike Lindell seen on Tuesday, 12/13/22. Mike Lindell’s behavior has threatened US democracy & continues to share a huge amount of false information.

I hope my concerns are taken seriously & that you are hearing from a large number of HGTV viewers who feel the same.

I have never put in a complaint to my favorite network before. But this show is also a first on HGTV. I watched a couple of episodes, but when Pamela Anderson came out in a men's shirt, with some transparency, in front of teenage boys, I was put off from this show.

Upset that HGTV would allow this kind of content, I avoid all episodes.

Clearly this is for ratings not for the women, whom I assume watch HGTV the most.

So disappointed with your network allowing this display to be shown. I now am discovering other networks with more family content. Magnolia Network is more to my liking.

I am appalled and sickened by the commercial you are running, promoting promiscuous sex (2 men at the train station) for an aids commercial. I don't care if it was a hetrosexual commercial, either way it is totally inappropriate for a channel like yours that is supposedly family friendly. I can no longer allow it to be on in my home for my kids to watch. I have been watching your channel for 10 plus years, and had to remove it from my cable line up today. Shame on your guys... Hurting innocent children for money.

I used to enjoy watching HGTV programming, but I will probably quit watching your channel all together. I don’t want to have to explain to my 3 and 6 year old grandkids why 2 grown men are hugging and kissing on tv. I don’t believe in, nor will I accept or support that sort of lifestyle and I truly do not appreciate the LGBTQ agendas being forced on us by TV stations like you have chosen to do! I am very, very disappointed, offended and appalled by this.

Please dont offend us, I like your channel but I will not tolerate the smearing of a man’s name, who isn’t even taking abortion in as a task, she is pro crime and what your peddling we aren’t buying.. your showing us who you are by putting these commercials up, why don’t you promote something good she’s done.. wait that’s nothing but put ny in harms way and tax is to destje and push shots on people who saved lives during a pandemic!get over yourselves.. nothing so great about your channel….bye now

He is employing a man, that has beat up my 62 year old friend, beside your set, unprovoked, plus some of Scott's construction workers. Scott knows all the details and has been overheard syaing, don't worry, I will never fire you. Even his production came over the next day to talk to us about the incident. Everyone saw it happen. So, my retired friend now has to sit with his back against the wall with a baseball bat beside him for protection and all of the other cottage/home owners are frightened of this man. I have seen him, he looks like he's 40 and an MMA fighter. Way bigger and younger than all the owners there. How can Scott keep this man in his employment knowing full well what has happened? Why not just hire a new security guard? What has this guy got on Scott? Seems fishy to everyone. Does he feel bad for him, but not the actual owners of where he has come in and built and dupisrupted? My friends parents owned this cottage so we have been going there for entire life. Never had a problem, but now terrified as he has already pooped in their well the year previous while working for old owner of Jakes. This makes me really not like Scott and everyone I know now knows and is surprised Scott would be like this. Clearly a very different person off camera. Rian Baeumler was there and knows about it, ask him.

I am sick of watching HGTV home builders and designers use their shows to build these enormous houses for themselves. There are a few examples of TV hosts that do this, Sarah Nicolson, Scott McGillivray but the worst in my eyes are the Baeumlers. This couple must be on their fifth personal build for themselves. Its nauseating to see these rich builders get more rich off their builds through their TV shows, the selling of their properties just to move on for another build. Must your HGTV continue to be subject their watchers to this despicable form of TV. I can't be the only person to complain about this issue. I enjoy watching builders and designers helping regular people through their building and design issues. That is what HGTV should stick too.

HGTV used to be my go-to channel nearly every hour of every day, but as the years have passed, your programming and my interests are significantly diverging. (One can watch only so many Property Brothers derivations year after year or so many programs in which the reno teams cook up skits of silly antics as "entertainment."

My husband and I find Bargain Block to be one of the most innovative and inspiring programs on offer at HGTV in years. Evan and Keith were both comfortable and professional on camera and their work was unique, all characteristics missing in the program replacing BB as well as many other programs on offer. We are beyond disappointment that Bargain Block has been cancelled for the new 2023 season.

I often watch HGTV, especially house hunters. On Sunday evening, I decided to watch Renovation Island. I had seen Renovation Island before, and was not particularly impressed, but there was not much on, so I watched it.

The dad, the husband on the show, needs to be given a course in anger management. I watched in complete disgust, as three dogs, waited patiently at the side of the road, to cross. The so-called “star” of the show, angrily beeped

The horn of his car, yelled at the dogs, and kept driving. It is unfortunate that this “person” is allowed to have a show. I, personally, will not be watching again. I know that it will not impact the show, but I will encourage everyone that

I know, who has a love of animals, not to watch. I will also not purchase any items from the sponsors of the show.

Maybe, Mr. Renovation, needs a renovation of his personality. His hostility is palpable.

Acting as he does on camera, can only make a person wonder, how he is off camera

Thank you,

I was watching 'Fixer to Fabulous' Saturday night (08/07/2011). They remodeled a friends home, right before one of the commercials you showed a Confederate Flag blowing in the wind, which was interesting because a Black Woman owned the house and was moving in after the remodel.

I have watched HGTV from the very beginning, but recently have found there are shows I don't watch anymore. Some shows with the workers pants down around their [censored]. I have seen 'cracks' that I should have never seen. It is your business do what you want.
