Ask this old house series#
The series covering the renovation of the Westwood house (Weatherbee Farm) became something of a cult classic because of an escalating dispute between the hosts, Vila and Abram, and the homeowners over the direction the project was taking. In its earlier seasons, the series focused on renovating older houses, including those of modest size and value, with the homeowners doing some of the work, as a form of sweat equity.
It has produced spin-offs (notably " The New Yankee Workshop" hosted by Norm Abram), a magazine and for-profit web sites. As of 2006, "Classics" are also carried on the commercial non-broadcast DIY Network.īegun in 1979 as a one-time, 13-part series on the Boston PBS station WGBH, it has grown into one of the most popular programs on the network. Only the episodes with original host Bob Vila aired under that name. Old episodes are also shown under the program name "This Old House Classics" and were formerly shown on The Learning Channel under the name "The Renovation Guide". The third series to share the name is "Inside This Old House", a retrospective featuring highlights from previous episodes. Two of the original underwriters were Weyerhauser and Owens-Corning.
Other underwriters throughout the show's tenure included Parks Corporation (featuring its line of Carver Tripp paint thinners/sealants/wood stains and treaments), Glidden paints, Montgomery Ward, Ace Hardware, Kohler plumbing and Toro lawnmowers/ snowblowers. "Ask This Old House" is also underwritten by Century 21 Real Estate and Bellawood Floors, a division of Lumber Liquidators.
