If Walls Could Talk...

I remember this show being so neat. I loved getting to see the history that owners found all throughout their homes. Old pictures, clothing, toys, and all sorts of other items that gave hints to the history that took place in those homes. It was somehow always so exciting. I really wish they would revive this show. It would be so neat to get to see what kinds of history that could be uncovered in homes today. I bet that there's tons of it out there since it's been over 25 years since this show first ran. It could even run on multiple different channels since it covers both history and home repair. I love history, and since they used to do those little flashback sequences, we'd even get to see some of the history played out. It would be so exciting to see it make a comeback.

I recently discovered this show one day when I was channel surfing . It is truly one of those best kept secrets on TV . I throughly enjoy every aspect of this program .From all of the locations around the US , to seeing these homes sometimes over a hundred years old and all of the neat little things people find there . It is very interesting seeing so many old homes with so much history . Also I find myself at least once every episode saying to myself WOW or now that was cool . If you enjoy anything about American History then this is the show for you or if you just think it's neat to see into other peoples homes and connecting with people who have put so much sweat and tears into preserving people's past ( former homes owners ) and try to maintain it for the next generation . Hey this is coming from a guy who normally loves Sci Fi and Action shows and movies . I have got my whole family and extended family into watching this show and none of us ever miss an episode . So in conclusion if you haven't had the chance to watch this show or maybe you never even heard of it tune into HGTV and watch or record an episode or two , I guarantee you won't be disappointed . And together maybe we can keep this program on the air . Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope it helps .

"If Walls Could Talk..." is a series about older homes and the secrets that they hold. Various homes across the country are featured, with flashback segments showing their current owners uncovering secret histories of previous occupants. This show has the potential to be very good. My wife and I love all of the old homes and their stories that are featured on the series. That being said, the host of this series has got to be one of the most annoying hosts in the history of television. He is a major yukker-upper and almost ruins the show in my book. Overly perky is putting it lightly, and I am often embarrassed for him as I watch him attempt to be humorous. All in all, I think that the show is around a 7 or 8, but I have to knock it down to a 6 because of the aggravating host.

I loved this show back in the day! HGTV was pure gold in it's first decade with interesting home and garden shows with excellent hosts and this was my top favorite. Mike Siegel was perhaps the best host, he was comic but never putting his personality above the program which alas most hosts of shows like this do now. Phillip Palmer (very different) was a close runnerup, smooth and professional; Grant Goodeve was good, too. I loved how the new owners of these vintage homes celebrated and honored the late residents of the past; I'm afraid most new owners of old homes probably trash any momentos left behind in attics and cabinets, particularly things like photos and ephemera which is not worth much. I recorded several of these in the good old days of dvd recorders (alas, as gone today as the old treasures the new homeowners found in these houses.) Back in the first decade of this century I barely watched any television other than Turner Classic Movies and HGTV, sadly the glory days of HGTV are long since gone,

I love this show I never want this to disappear from my TV. I still watch it at least twice a week and that's binge watching it. I love Mike he's fun and all the people he visits love him. I don't like some of th appraisers under quoting the items they appraise one lady is the worst. Now these things are worth a lot more money. But I mainly love to see the inside of these houses you usually drive by and only dream of seeing inside. I wish they would do this show now. Can someone please start this show again!! I love the history that they tell of their homes. I love to see how they decorate their homes. I love the secret hide aways they show and I'm sure we don't get to see all of them.
