Times, They Are A Changin'

Starting last week, HGTV has moved Don't Sweat It to 11:30 AM e/p on Saturday mornings. To be honest, at first, I was worried. That seems a little late in the day to still be watching morning TV, but I couldn't be more wrong.

Since the move, our ratings have jumped 30%! We're now averaging over 3 million viewers a week!!

On a related note, HGTV is also showing reruns of DSI on Thurday mornings at 8:30 e/p. We're shooting our 100th episode next week, and we're looking forward to many more.

Thanks for watching, and keep watching in the new slot.

Stay tuned!

Almost There! 100 Episodes!

That's right, folks. We're just a little over a week away from number 100! We're doing something a little different for the centennial, but I can't tell you what it is. Just know it's not the normal "two homeowners, two hosts" kind of thing we've been doing for the last few dozen episodes. We're doing some super-fun projects for some exceptional people who really deserve it.

I'm not giving anything away until the show airs, but I'll be posting a few non-disclosure type sneak peeks on my Twitter account while we're knee deep in renovations.

Stay tuned!

Don't Sweat It 8!

It's finally time! I'll be heading out to LA LA Land January 10 to start looking at houses and projects for the next season of HGTV's Don't Sweat It. We're shooting season 8 from the first of February through the middle of March. It'll be nice to skip winter in New York! It's freakin' cold here right now...

And don't forget to watch DSI Saturday mornings on HGTV! And while you're at it, mark down Saturday nights with Dear Genevieve. I'll be showing up there soon!
