Designer: Why do we always wait until the very last minute to do the painting? It's like, "They're pulling up the drive-way, pull out the stain!"

One of the most interesting and entertaining shows on cable

I like While You Were Out. I like it more than I ever liked Trading Spaces, What Not to Wear, and any other reality show or show in general on TLC.

It's better for a number of reasons. Some of them being that it focuses on one room for the entire show, the host whether it's Evan or Theresa, the carpenters, mainly Andrew and Leslie, and the fact that its a surprise for a loved person.

I think that the dry humor, the banter, the interaction with the home-owner, the end result, the prizes, and goofing around is just plain fun television. The innovative designs are a far cry from the cheap looking designs on Trading Spaces. Everything about the show is what makes reality home improvement shows some of the best television that is out right now.
