I've resorted to paying for a year of a VPN service that I found for $40. And they already have the latest episode up of HMIR from last night (Mystery Staircase). Of course those shows would make money in the U.S. Americans like Mike Holmes just like the Canadians do. I'm a Canadian myself that lives in the U.S. so I have no problem with metric. :) (In fact I often use metric when I'm doing renovations because I have a hard time reading eights and sixteenths on a tape measure)<br /><br />As for your latest post where you got a vague response from HGTV about an air date, they sure don't seem to care what people actually want to watch. I contacted them via their site a few months ago about Mike's newest show and have heard nothing. So at least you got a response!<br /><br />And if you're interested, it's privateinternetaccess dot com for the VPN service. Works well so far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587948499497941945.post-10470303258447126922013-05-02T15:45:45.564-07:002013-05-02T15:45:45.564-07:00Couldn't have said it better myself. Americans...Couldn't have said it better myself. Americans do many things well but one game the Canadians definitely have the upper hand in is who has the better HGTV lineup. HGTV/US is in a sorry state I'm sad to say. House Hunters is the most boring drab show on earth, especially after 11 hours of it. I have seen two episodes of HMIR online... The entire feel of the show would appeal to an American audience. Do the networks think that if we see "colour" spelled with a "u" or hear "centimeter" instead of "inch" that we can't handle it or that we can't relate to the show because it's filmed in Canada? Not sure what the deal is, but the show is going to be a huge hit once it crosses the border. So much money to be made, but apparently nobody wants to make it. So strange. As far as iTunes goes, YES PLEASE! I would love to have the shows in that format. I wish they would work that out so that more people could access the shows.The Holmes Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512620912625850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587948499497941945.post-61968058551308390572013-05-02T12:36:31.590-07:002013-05-02T12:36:31.590-07:00Pathetic that the US networks take so long to air ...Pathetic that the US networks take so long to air good Canadian programming. HGTV has become the House Hunters network. I haven't watched HGTV in a while because of the useless content on it. DIY is good, but only because of the Canadian stuff they air like Decked Out, Holmes shows and Bryan Bauemler's stuff. I recently paid for a Canadian proxy service so I could watch Holmes Makes it Right on the hgtv.ca site. I discovered recently that someone is sharing episodes 1-9 on a popular torrent site so Americans can easily see at least the first 9 episodes now if they can use a Torrent client. I think the Holmes group should put their shows on Amazon Instant and iTunes. The old-timey cable channels don't seem to realize that there are ways to get the content that's out there and it doesn't involve paying for cable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587948499497941945.post-63560404153928670582013-04-25T21:43:16.121-07:002013-04-25T21:43:16.121-07:00Apparently it takes a long time:).

Of the two girls Kate has a much stronger personality for TV, she has a great energy about her & the camera loves her. She seems very bright & I love that she has done this on her own & she went through the women in skilled trades training program. She is a great role model for the everyday woman who might be considering getting in to trades. The fact that she took that course shows that she was interested in carpentry long before she fell into television. It would be great to see her hard work be rewarded & recognized by such an achievement!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587948499497941945.post-53462940836891228502013-04-25T10:09:45.278-07:002013-04-25T10:09:45.278-07:00I wonder how long though it takes from start to fi...I wonder how long though it takes from start to finish to film, produce, and vet through pilot or networks whatever.

I wish they would get their ducks in a row a little more before posting official announcements that they don't intend to follow through with. Or at least that's how it seems.The Holmes Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512620912625850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587948499497941945.post-13994372622568243132013-04-24T12:11:57.902-07:002013-04-24T12:11:57.902-07:00I wish all these networks & companies would de...I wish all these networks & companies would deliver more & promise less. And that includes the Holmes Group.<br /><br />What happened to Damon Bennet or Mike's daughter Sherri who were supposed to get their own shows as was announced about 6 month ago?<br /><br />I understand that planning & negotiating take time but I would suggest the time to make announcements is when the deal is signed, sealed & delivered.<br /><br />Maybe I'm old fashioned but I believe in action, not promises that may or may not come true.<br /><br />After a while people get tired of hearing promises & seeing no action.<br /><br />JundeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
