I thought the same, Maddielee! I was suprised to see quite the opposite.

(note to us- D+ is not necessarily a grade).

I also thought you rated it as a hair above poor. We don’t have discovery so I’ll have to wait until they sell it somewhere else.

On a related note I watched a new version of Fixer Upper on some streaming service (can’t remember which) about a castle style house reno in Waco and it was downright embarrassing. Chip Gaines has sunk to new lows. He by turns affects ADHD and craven obsequiousness to mommy-wife. The most often repeated word on the show is ”baby,” which they call each other several times in every conversation. The ”reveal” is an afterthought with very few, and very fleeting, glimpses of the finished rooms. Joanna Gaines is still wowing with phrases like ”this house has a ton a character.” You’d think they would have evolved over their years of tv hosting but they seem to have gotten even worse. The one trick pony is now too old to be cute and to tired to offer anything new. Grade F-

Oh no! I wasn't sure H0uzz would want me to name the channel. I will edit.

Also an oh no on the castle not being good. I was hoping Chip had matured after watching himself on TV. You know he does.

@Kswl do you by chance have a smart tv? We have a fire tv. You can download the Discovery app and watch.

They also have an Instagram page called " our tiny estate" really good.

Chip Gaines makes my skin crawl. Overgrown frat boy.

Tina, I thought you have to subscribe to D+ to watch their content. We already subscribe to far too many services, and eventually everything ends up on hulu. 🤷‍♀️

@Bothell I started following it and their own pages today.

Discovery+ is a subscription. The of the house/decorating original shows end up on the Magnolia channel (formally the DIY Network). Other channels are also involved. Too many to list. I'm sure a lot end up on Hulu.

Yes you do pay. We dont subscribe to it, so im not sure the cost. I dont know if they have a free trial period.

I'm trying to find it now and it's on HGTV according to their website. Not listed so it has to be streamed? Pfffft

It is $4.99 month with ads, $6.99 withouth ads. (Plus tax, which is still less than $8).

There are channels on YouTube about restoring chateaus, etc. in France. I'm watching "The Petherick's" and they're restoring an abandoned convent which is very interesting. They are English, moved to France and live in a lovely chateau, which they partially restored.

I would love to watch the series Allison posted, but I don't have Discovery+.

Sounds like a great series. We subscribed to so many services over the pandemic, I drew a hard line over Discovery plus. I feel the same about Chip Gaines and so had no need for the Magnolia channel.

I get it @deeinohio. I decided to get D+ to see For the Love of Kitchens (English show) a year before it was avaiable on television. It is a Magnolia channel show, but Saving the Manor is a HGTV show.

Allison, I have Discovery + and will be checking out those series.

I'm guilty of paying for so many streaming services UGH! Remember when getting rid of cable (with pay channels) and switching to Roku or whatever, was suppose to be so much cheaper?? Yep, I fell for it!

Put Chip Gaines up against Ben Napier ( Hometown) . Ben is so much more mature, yet funny, Take a pill, Chip
