Good Bones

Hi! I have never bothered to make comment to any show before. But I feel that strongly about this that I decided to look into making this comment.

First I would like to say that I like watching your show. I like the creative ideas and design. I often do a binge watch of a bunch in a row.

But...I also must say...I hate hate hate your new commercial. The song turns me off so much that I will change the channel for a few minutes until it is over. I understand the concept of sounding like some kind of vintage family type show. But the jingle, words and singing ate just awful awful awful.

As the show goes on, it's sub-par. At first I enjoyed the show, it had great foundation with a mother daughter duo. As the show goes on the quality is decreasing, cutting corners and lackluster. Mina is rude and disrespectful. Karen is a sweet and artistic. The finish is overall meh, with all the unfinished work, rushed and carelessness. There isn't a single episode that I have seen that wasn't full of flaws in the finish work, gaps in tile, missing grout. Roofing over bad shingles, there's so many things I could name in each episode, but we don't have time for that. Cheap contractors lacking in quality and a monarch as a supervisor just spells disaster for this show. Don't expect it to last much longer. Sorry Mina but your disappointing.

These ladies are awesome, funny, powerful, and talented! Their whole team is talented and hilarious. They make renovation fun to watch.

Good Bones has always been on my list of favourite Reno shows until recently. Mina's undermining of Karen and the lack of respect she shows her mother and her knowledge has made me cringe too many times. Karen, as the founder of the company, now feels shut out by her daughter and the tension between them is so obvious. Mina comes across as condescending and arrogant and as it seems she is taking on a stronger leadership role on the show, I will no longer watch!

Good Bones follows a Mother-Daughter team that takes old or dilapidated homes in Indianapolis and fixes them up, thus helping revitalize a neighborhood. The two leads are very likable, and from what I've seen, the series doesn't contain a lot of forced and contrived drama and conflict that you see in such shows as Flip or Flop, or Love It or List It.

They pick a truly run-down house, so you don't have to go through that staged, silly routine from other shows of "are they going to pick that one, or the other one?" The houses that I have seen are truly a mess, making the renovation very remarkable. You are also spared the presence of spoiled homeowners haughtily proclaiming their need for an open-concept, mega kitchen "for entertaining", knowing full well they'll probably be ordering from Pizza Hut most of the time.

The team is very likable, especially the mother, Karen Laine, whose smile is infectious. They seem to have a good time doing the show and that matters.
