I watch and can't believe some of these couples are married. I don't understand how the husbands can put up with their wives. I watch with my daughters sometimes and are happy that even they get that they shouldn't act like that when they are married. (I hope my future son-in-law thanks me!). Trying to teach them how to be a respectful wife! (and vice versa too, there are some pretty crazy husband house hunters too).
There was a gal who wanted an older house, but she wouldn't even consider a Victorian style house because she felt that Victorian houses were haunted. Another house just as old was okay, it just couldn't be Victorian.
I always hate the episodes when the husband caves to the wife's outrageous demands. There was one episode where the wife was a SAHM and she was in charge of getting the kids back and forth to school. The school was an hour away from the husband's work. Instead of compromising on a house that was 1/2 between the two places they went with the house that was a few minutes from the school.
So question. I know Discovery+ is carrying House Hunters - Comedians on the Couch, which has been on the cable channel. So on the comedian version, are they new HH shows with comedian commentary or old HH with commentary added? I still say the lack of new HH is because of the pandemic. Especially since we had at least 2 episodes that were edited, one from Hawaii Life and one from Island Life.
Valid question...I know at the out set of the pandemic I read that alot of shows on ID Discovery had an ample supply of new shows waiting in the wings and they would bringing these into the line up. They also had more new episodes of older shows that had been stockpiled. Not sure about HH in this regard. But the way things are going, if they do have new shows I'm sure they will be bringing them over to Discovery+.
The HH reruns on OWN today seem to have a theme (they always seem to have a theme), of two house hunters that should buy separate houses, because they don't agree on anything, or even like each other.
Then there is the bizarre episode of Danielle, who decided that husband Calvin, the kids, and their entire lives needed to be in California, so she could get a two-story house that says 'they've arrived'. She wants a grand foyer, and a Power Room, (normal people call it a home office) with a faux alligator desk, the word "Power" on the wall, and a custom sofa in black and gold. She wants a mid-century modern in Temecula, where they don't have any MCM homes. Then, she sees a home that's grand enough, but the neighborhood of properties with at least a couple of acres, allows horses, chickens, etc., and she worries about her high heels and cow patties. In their budget, even in Murietta, it won't buy grand, or power rooms up to her royal snottiness' standards. She also wants a master or primary bedroom that is like her own apartment, guess Calvin and the four kids will be banished. Their budget says it all, he wants to spend $475,000, and she wants to go to $800,000. Fortunately, they chose the house that needs the most work, but will be fancy enough for the wife after. I'm so glad they didn't choose house #1 in a livestock friendly neighborhood, because you know she would have been complaining endlessly about noise, and flies, and smells.
This one is followed by the woman who has four kids, and her mom is moving in too, and Mom has to have a giant closet, and almost her own apartment. So for seven people, they're going to want a huge house, and will be going for fancy looking over well constructed.
Comcast offers NBC's Peacock streaming service for free. I watched a few programs on it, but with all the buffering and screen freezing it was difficult to watch and enjoy. WE also had the HULU streaming service for a couple months last year to watch college football on the ACC network, which Comcast doesn't broadcast. Again, there was a lot of buffering and freezing mid-show on HULU, both on the Samsung smart TVs and iPad. Because of those experiences I would hesitate to sign up for a streaming service for which I have to pay, I wonder if those of y'all are finding those problems with Discovery+. Any thoughts?
I'm thinking the buffering and freezing has a lot to do with your wifi rather than the service itself. I've watched Discovery Plus a couple of times and have had no problem, the same with Netflix and Hulu. I have Spectrum.
I stream a lot of television and I don't have these kinds of issues. The problem is with your internet connection and not with the services as the actual streaming occurs through your Wifi connection and your problems have to do with the speed of your connection.
FWIW, I have Apple Television as well as a regular smart television so I can theoretically stream most services through my television or through the Apple TV device and the clarity of the picture is much better when I watch through Apple Television (not to be confused with Apple TV which is their streaming service for content.
Admittedly House Hunters is far from really trashy TV, but I always feel a little vindicated when I learn something in discussions about the stupid shows I watch. I had no idea there were still places with blue laws. It takes me back to shopping in grocery stores where they had plastic covering sections of the shelves on Sundays.
I enjoyed Amy Schumer Learns to Cook and the comedians version of House Hunters, both of of which will be only on Discovery+, but I'll survive without them. I'm old school, and like having shit just show up on my TV. Research shows that having more choices doesn't make people happier. I'm definitely in that camp.
Glad to hear you don't have a problem with streaming shows on TV. However, I'm sure I'm not the only one who does encounter streaming trouble. I know a couple of friends also have similar problems and they aren't on Comcast--they are WOW and Direct TV customers. I've even had shows cut out when streaming on my computer, which is hard wired via cable and not dependent on WiFi.
The Atlanta episode had an "in memory of Selena" dedication at the end. Does anyone know anything about that? The HHs said in the beginning that their four-year-old grandson lives with them because their daughter (his mother) is in the military. I hope it's not the daughter who passed away, though of course it's sad either way.
I agree that I will NOT get Discovery +, and probably won't even do the free trial through Verizon since I don't want to NOT be able to cancel. (You know how sometimes these services get you and it is virtually impossible to cancel?)
We were able to sign up for Discovery+ through Verizon, but I can only watch on my MacBook. We bought our TV in 2016 and apparently it is not smart enough. We called Comcast and they said that they are "in negotiations" and "sometime this year" they will add Discovery+. I mean, we can get Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc. etc. but Discovery+ isn't there. I believe there is some kind of fix, hook the laptop up to the TV, we get a Firestick or sign up for Hulu, or something else, but I am like a lot of you, I am sick of them adding new streaming services. We already pay a fortune for cable and just to watch TV is so damned complicated.
My husband and I noticed this last night. We figured that "master" was now politically incorrect. I had never thought of it before. I noticed that they had also sometimes called it the "owners' suite" but last night was the first night I heard "primary bedroom."
New Jersey couple looking for a beach house -- he wanted Atlantic City and she wanted to walkout to the boat dock. I ended-up liking them. Their requests were pretty low key, though he wanted to cheap out a bit which wouldn't have put them in a good place. I liked the cousin-in-law realtor focusing them on rental and resale value, and I liked that they picked the home closest to family.
Florida family relocated from Delaware: God I hate uptalkers. And people who complain about not being able to "put their touch" on things. That's why you have furnishings. The kicker was when he mentioned the longer commute from the third house and she stuck her hand out, palm up, to say, "So?" She needs a deep tub so she can have some me time, but he wants to spend less time in his car every week and she's going to "So?'" him? Glad they went with the second house.
