Magnolia Table with Joanna Gaines

DIH would have been a better name, magnolia doesn't say "do it herself" .

The viewership amazes me but it's new, and the Jan 5, 2022 opening Fixer Upper had 3M viewers, Where Barnwood Builders first show had 3.6M viewers. Thankfully it is still being scheduled, but not for long probably because its not a cooking or house wrecking show, it is reality! A cooking or hit a wall with your body show can be good TV but never really used in the real world. So reality? No! It is not!

The change of names was a shock but I dont think the shock is over yet, soon what we loved about DIY will be gone. But we will be better cooks and worse house rehab people.

I own her cookbooks-which is why I enjoy watching her make the recipes. I really don't get the negativity. If you don't want to pay for the network.. then don't! Duh! No one isn't forcing you! I personally think it motivates me to cook more! Choose whatever cook show that works for you. There's some that bores me to death... but why waste time spreading negative energy.

As much as I like Chip and Jo I am tired of seeing reruns. Cooking shows are on the food channel and that's a good place for them. I thought Magnolia would improve this channel but I like DIY better.

I watch on Discovery+, so I pay for the channel. I watch a lot of the shows on this channel. I find her relaxing and fun to watch. My only issue is that many, not all, of the recipes have higher cost ingredients that so many folks can't fit into the budget these days. Not a cooking show for the family budget. Example is the guyere cheese she uses a lot. I constantly have to Google substitute products and guyere cheese doesn't have a good one. But I watch it more for relaxing entertainment anyway.

Read head line. This show is just horrible. Horrible. I love fixer but this is slow boring no content. Her production company should pull it. Put something different on please.
