I was sitting in the Detroit airport about 3 years
ago when Robin and Dean came running up to the gate to find
their plane already gone.
Her hair then was much longer, and even wearing a long wool
coat she was absolutely stunning. Very beautiful. Perfect smile.
I still watch every week.
If you are out there Robin, you can swing your hammer in my shop anytime ;-)

Come on Guys... this is a family oriented group. All of the women that
Dean has had on have been good looking; the first one (Peggy?) was a
professional carpenter and quite a bit better than Dean (so she had to
go quickly).
I just wish the current crop of ladies would go to a tech school or go out
with a carpenter and learn to hold a hammer by the end instead of the
middle of the handle.

Hometime on Discovery and TLC .
The show pretends to be a husband and wife doing remodeling .
Robin is the one with the 'perkies' and the 'cute butt' . The other
one is Dean . Compared to some of the women doing 'How To TV'
( especially on Gimme Shelter ) she's a gem . At times, I believe she
knows - how to . A pretty bright woman .
I don't mean to go off sounding like a caveman's Andy Rooney (sp?), but how many times have 'ya
almost lost your lunch because you turn your head, and get an eyefull of "repairman's crack"? It's
always the big, fat, hairy-backed types, never an attractive woman. One time I was eating lunch in a
restaurant that had a lunch counter with stools. . .
Anyhow, you know what I mean. Maybe it's time for some realism in the repair shows. Hell, a few of the
host/hostesses even pretend to swing a hammer, why not go for the full monty?
Cheers!

Absolutly stunning? Perfect Smile? Of course! Why do you thing Dean
hired her? Looking that way is her job. It's what she does for a living.
She's throughly professional about her looks.
Robin Hartl
Robin was born in Richmond, Virginia, and moved frequently with her family
as a child, but she spent her teenage years in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. There
she earned a real estate license and spent two years selling real estate.
After that, she moved to Minneapolis and worked in the commercial insurance
business for 8 years, while renovating homes in her off-time.
Pursuing a childhood dream, she began taking acting lessons in 1991 and went
to work as an actress and a model. She joined Hometime in July 1992, and her
first program aired in January 1993.
It appears that she is still the co-host.

NOT TRUE!!!
The first co-host was Peggy Knapp. She was and is to my knowledge just a
professional TV program host. I think she is hosting Newtons Apple now.
JoAnne Liebeler was second, was there for like 4 seasons. Wish she still
was, she was the best.
After JoJo, there was some chick, suzy or suzanne or something. She was on
only like one season.
And Robin Hartl has been there since. In fact, I believe that Robin was the
only one with any experience prior to starting with Dean. She used to be a
remodle contractor, or remodled houses for herself, or something like that.
But, IMHO, JoJo was and is the best. She has learned alot over the years
and seems to have her stuff together.
Besides that, who can stand hearing Dean and Robin grunting all the time.
Have you ever noticed that? Everytime they pick up anything from a 2x4 to a
hammer they grunt like they are straining themselves.
Allthough Dean has not been married to anyone of them, it has to make you
wonder about him. I cant remember, it may have been on their web page that
I read they try to convey the image of being together intentionally to
assist the husband/wife do-it-yourselfers out there. If it has to do with
tools, in my house it is just me. The wife wants nothing to do with them.
Everytime there is a project I want her to help with, she askes if we just
can't hire someone.
By far though, JoJo's new show is much better than Hometime. And even at
that, just like Dean and Bob Villa, they are geared to things not suited for
true woodworkers.
Someday maybe there will be a show by a true woodworker, and dont start the
Norm stuff. He is okay, but he cant build a thing unless he uses drywall
screws. You always see him gluing up stuff "and just simply putting in
drywall screws to hold it in place till it cures" He was a contractor, that
through working with Villa got alot of cool dools from Delta. He still
needs to learn how to glue.

What about 'The American Woodworker'. Seems pretty geared to woodworkers to
me.

I can't watch "JoJo's" show at all, not because of the supposed "technical
merit" of the show, but simply because of her. She had a good thing with
Hometime, esp. for someone with no skills. But she got it into her head
that "she was meant for more", and left Hometime to create a career in
stand-up, I believe. She bombed, badly. It was then that she decided to
"come back" to home improvement.
I felt the same way when David Caruso (sp?) left NYPD Blue for "the big
time in movies" and then slunked back to TV a little bit ago :) :)
I can't understand people like that. :)

Robin Hartl
Robin was born in Richmond, Virginia, and moved
frequently with her family as a child, but she spent her
teenage years in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. There she
earned a real estate license and spent two years selling
real estate.
After that, she moved to Minneapolis and worked in
the commercial insurance business for 8 years, while
renovating homes in her off-time.
Pursuing a childhood dream, she began taking acting
lessons in 1991 and went to work as an actress and a model.
She joined
Hometime in July 1992, and her first program aired in January
1993.
JoAnne Liebeler was Hometime's second co-host,
and she stayed with the show for four seasons after
which she moved to the west coast to pursue other
acting opportunities. She says the competition is
tough and jobs are difficult to come by, but she loves
the area and plans on staying in California. Some of
you may have seen JoJo on "Room for Change" on
the HGTV cable network. A collection of clips,
including an interview and bloopers of JoAnne's
years on Hometime is available on the Farewell to Jo Jo Video.
Our very first co-host was Peggy Knapp. She
began
in 1986, but left after the first season.
Since then,
Peggy has been hosting Newton's Apple, a
public
television children's program, produced by
KTCA in
St. Paul, MN.
Susanne Egli joined the show after JoAnne left, and
she stayed with Hometime for one season. She
has
since been acting in regional theater and
appearing in
commercials.
Me too. No, I don't look pretty good in a bathing suit. I mean I vote
for Joanne too, also, as well. Especially when she braids her hair.
Love that bridle ... er ... braid.

comedy.

I find JoAnne's voice a bit irritating at times. However, I do like
her and watch her new show Home Savvy. But I wish she would stop
with the stupid jokes and innuendos.

Thank you so much for mentioning this. I find this so irritating, sounds
like they're having a bowel movement.

Personally, I don't watch Hometime anymore. I never learn anything from
that show. They basically describe things they are doing, but they teach
or show you nothing.

Here I've been following this thread all this time and now that I've
finally surfed over to their web site I see that it's the wrong woman.
My favorite is on some other dumb home-improvement show.
Then again, I rarely watch the idiot box, and when I do, SWMBO always
makes me click past all the somewhat interesting looking shows in
favor of such garbage as Geraldo and Jerry Springer.

Slender women have proportionally narrow waists. More difference in
circumference between the belt-bearing area and the hips, therefore
less likely to develop plumber's butt. To see female butt crack on
TV, you'd need to find yourself a woman with a big beer gut.
Men, OTOH, have the opposite effect. Belt-bearing area is larger than
the hips, or else belt is buckled below gut and gut exerts downward
force. Plumber's butt is eminent. Skinny guys have fewer problems,
but how many of us DON'T have a little bit of a gut? I'm down to only
15 pounds over my ideal weight and I still can't get rid of the spare
tire.
You guys have been in the woodshop too long!!!!!!
Ted
Pay no attention, it's just all those fumes talking.
Naw, its just that Robin is on a home improvement show, and isn't
tucked, puffed, trimmed and injected to get her looks.
Hey John, whadda ya think about her marriage breaking up so soon?
Such a tragedy to such a nice young lady huh?

I don't really know anything about her, but she did play in the
World Series of Poker a few years ago in the main event and
placed somewhere in the middle against some of the best players in
the world, so she can't be a total bimbo.

There are two hammer holders. One is on Hometime and the other is on
