THE BEST (OF WHAT)?, Jun 23 2003
This review is from: The Best of Trading Spaces (DVD)
First of all, I have to agree with previous viewers that this DVD (in addition to the accompanying book) lacks in any effort to show the home improvement projects which their show is about! Instead, all focus is on the people involved. Personally, my main reason for watching Trading Spaces is to see the creative decorating and projects that are involved. (If you are more into the personalities involved then you may just enjoy this DVD.) My second objection to this DVD concerns the fact that there are several reveals which I felt were very worthy of being included with the worst and the best. What about the military man who insisted that they leave his carpet alone and didn't want dark colors but Hilde went ahead and took out the carpet and painted his walls black? That episode remains a classic in my eyes. Oh well. Because there wasn't any focus on the decorating and several worthy episodes were excluded, you may be asking is it worth it buying this DVD? My verdict is no; and I consider myself to be a fan of this show. Personally, I borrowed this DVD from my sister and don't have any plans to add it to my DVD collection. If you enjoy Trading Spaces be sure to catch Changing Rooms and Home Invaders both airing on BBC America. I learned much more decorating tips and don't have to deal with Paige.

Where's the Beef?, May 12 2003
This review is from: The Best of Trading Spaces (DVD)
I felt like Clara Peller after watching this DVD. While promising bloopers, outtakes and such, it delivers very little. Most of it was just show clips that actually aired, which provides the hardcore fan (to who I assume this DVD is aimed) nothing much more than what had already aired? Where are the interviews? Where are the actual bloopers? where are the mishaps that had to occur over the 2 seasons? This makes a good rental disc at best. There is little if any rewatching value here.
