I was a fan of TS from the very earilest days...and then they lost Ty and brought in new designers that I wasn't crazy about and had that horrible spin off Boy vs Girls and the family version, etc. Getting rid of Paige was the final straw, although I admit that I'd long since quit watching at that point.
Well, I saw that Paige was coming back, so today I tuned in to an episode on one of the digital cable channels...D-something. I was happy to see she was on this one, but almost immediately I realized that TS has sort of lost its oooomph for me.
The obviously scripted/prompted discussions are annoying and fake.
I do not like the new designers--Kia (is that her name?) and Edward. Blech.
I hate, hate, hate a theme room...who the FUCK would want a pyramid a la Egypt in their bedroom? Especially when the rest of the house is already done very tastefully and classicly? EGYPT?
Even the discussions with Amy Wynn are missing something. It just doesn't have the same panache that it used to. I fear that Trading Spaces is dead to me and that is sort of sad....and it really makes me long for the days when BBCAmerica would show my all-time favorite home show, Changing Rooms. Is that one even still on? I need to go check because I'm not going to be watching this drek anymore.

TS sparked so many other home design shows which I enjoy.
I met Edward on the Hertz shuttle bus to the Philly airport. He had just wrecked the rental car. Thought you might find it amuzing.
