Holmes Family Rescue

Love Mike Holmes, but this show is too choppy. Too many projects going on at once and they don't finish them at the end. No closure. Too hard to follow which house we are fixing.

I watched a recent episode and saw experience and intuition lose out to child. The show is built around the father who is obviously a talented artisan, but deferring (when you know you're right) to your amateurish daughter because she has an "eye for design" is always a mistake. Haven't we seen enough of kids working for their parents? I hope the producers wake up because this thing is headed for cancellation.

On Holmes previous series you could learn something. I used to love it. This series has just way too much talking and not enough of showing of how things are properly fixed. I DVR it so I can fast forward through all of the talking. Sad, he has a lot of good knowledge to share.

This show is more about designs, his son and daughter, implement after repairs are made. The Mike Holmes legacy parts, where he opens walls and discusses what is wrong and how to fix it, are short and lacking detail. His children is more of a soap opera than a fix it show. Used to be you could watch a Mike Holmes show and come away learning something. Not so much now. Watch reruns of his old show, that is time better spent.

Have been watching many of Mike Holmes with Mike Jr and Sherry for many years. Have learned a lot but would never do my own reno's. He has helped the less fortunate in the past. Have tried to contact him with no success, have a dear friend that needs his assistance.
