PBS's Victory Garden

 Has anyone been watching PBS's Victory Garden this season?  Everyone
from last season except Kip (the gardner) is gone. The new hosts are
just horrible.  The programs seem to be all over the place and most of
them have not been worth watching.  There was one where the host spent
almost the entire post bending metal for a potting design.  What a waste!

PBS had a great program in the Victory Garden but, IMO they ruined it.
They need to go back to the good old days when they had great hosts and
spent their time on interesting gardening subjects.

Have you been watching it since the original, with Jim Crockett? He
understood continuity and focus.

Yes, I am that old. :)  And back then the show was ALL about gardening.
  In the last few years it has taken quite a different direction.  Less
gardening and a lot of other stuff that I don't watch a gardening
program for.

Me too. I stopped watching it when the guy with the goofy laugh took over.
HE WAS HORRIBLE.

While I like shows that are tours of private or public gardens, the only
show I've seen recently (that might even go back a year or more) that is
truly a gardening show is Gardening By the Yard. And he cheers me up most
days.

  The old guy before Crockett was not too media wise but he seemed to
have useful info.  Perhaps I was a newbie but conveying wisdom  in such
a manner was like talking with extended family.  Worth watching him too
bad I was out trying to extend my gene line at the time.  
  I'd like to see these PBS shows on DVD but alas I must settle for "Hot
Fuzz".
