DIY Network

$ days of Chris Grundy, HELP. Turned on diy on Thursday and found out they ran him for 4 days. DIY, dont you think that was a bit much!!!!!!!! Like I have seen on other blogs, money talks.......PBS here is running thier money donations for the year end. so no woodworking at all all weekend. Now I know how Charlie Brown felt!

Sorry 4 Days of.....

It’s about selling tools!!!
4 days of repeated infomercial about tools brought to ya by hip hop harry AKA Grundy

Grundy makes me crazy. I can't watch him for more than five minutes before I need to turn the channel. My husband, a true lover of all tools, just cringes when he hears his voice. The wacky camera angles don't help either!

As much as I enjoy finding out about new tools and proceedures, Grundy is the pits....send him back to rap central or wherever he escaped from and bring in someone who can carry on an intelligent conversation.

I watched about one show and was quite impressed on the new tools out there. Unfortunately I then turned it off. I am one of those that has gotten the shaft because of the economy and know I don't have money for anything other than food. If my wife didn't have a nice paying job where she can't be let go we would be filing chapter 13.

I understand it's a money thing and they are getting paid to show this, but for me it's a big slap in the face .

Well the cable is the next thing to go. Then I won't have a problem. It's all reruns anyway.

Like info on new tools that are out there, but can someone else host this show. After a few minutes of Grundy I turn off the TV. The other bad thing, I don't want to buy any of the tools.

Like tool information but Gundy is a turn-off on many levels.

I agree. I've only watched it once for about 10 minutes. I'm convinced the manufacturers pay the producers to be featured on the show.

Does anyone know where I can find the Santa hat Grundy is wearing....you guys know the one I am talking about!!!

Hello, The shop dog, "CHIpS" growels when grundy comes on. Even the dog knows Normal people that come to the shop do not talk like that. Be well people.

DIY cancels David Marks and gives 4 days of Chris Goofy ?
since when did DIY turn in HSC Home shoping network
I am a long haul trucker as was home for 5 days over the thanks-giving holiday and was looking forward to catching up on my shows

DIY you have come this ll close to loseing Me permanently

I emailed DIY this link and told them how unhappy people are with Grundy. I doubt they'll do anything but at least we have a voice. We haven't watched DIY in over a week, very unusual for us.

Ok guys/Gals
If you think about Hip Hop Grundy in this way.
He's like a bad cold, it will go away when it runs its course. Don’t watch the show.
If you must do something? then write the people who pay the shows bills. If you cut the serpents head off it can't bite you.

Add me to the list. I see that as Christmas approaches they are doing it again. I can take about 30 seconds of Grundy and I have to turn off the TV.

Where did you find a link to email a complaint ot DIY Network. I went from Comcast to DirectTV to get DIY Network and now I'm sorry I did.

Hi LeeM,

Since you wish to make a complaint, check out this link as it has several ways you may express your concerns.

Good Luck!

Not only is Grundy not a good host, I get the feeling he has never used a hand tool in his WHOLE LIFE.

Hey, DIY, how about a new host for cool tools? Does anyone read these boards? Give us a break!!

He could shed a few pounds also, he should be the new host of Jog Cabin.

How do you all think not watching the show is going to do anything to get a new host? This is a network that is so cheap they continue to run 4-5 year old episodes of shows while selling fresh advertising to run on those reruns. As long as there is advertising revenue they will run the same old stuff. The new shows run one season and vanish.

I agree though that Grundy is the worst ever. He tries WAY too hard to be hip and he is just jive. When he started calling everything "deese joints here".... way to ghetto for me.

They need to think about who the majority of the viewers are.

But you know this is the same situation with everything. Amy Matthews has been fixing that same dozen bathrooms for 4 years now. The Man Cave show now got stupid instead of clever, doing work for rich people like Artie Lange instead of Average Joe who maybe could use the show to do things in the house they can't afford themselves.

I wonder how I would react if Ahmed Hassan continued to harass me at Home Depot with that Yard Crasher thing. I think the second time he approached me I would probably punch his lights out and tell him to leave me the hell alone.
