All American Handyman

[Tony Mount]

I watched my first episode of all American handyman and I have No Doubt that I could win the whole thing. I might be a little bit concerned about the cameras and celebrities but what I have seen from the competitors they need to stick to their day jobs.

So why is a show called "All American Handyman" being judged by 2 Canadians?

Dom,

Look at the show "America's Got Talent". (2) of the judges are originally from the UK and is directed by Simon Cowell which is another Brit.

Last time I checked Canada was in North America... just not the U. S.

Yea, so what? The show isn't called All North-American Handyman, now is it? :)

From their web site:


20 Americans from across the country have nailed the chance to be crowned the "handiest of them all" in the new HGTV series,

.
Just an observation...

From their web site:
Just an observation...The Americans responded in 1776 by formally declaring their independence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence) as one new nation — the United States of America — claiming their own sovereignty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereignty) and rejecting any allegiance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegiance) to the British monarchy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_monarchy).

This is old news, Dom. I could say your point of view is somewhat un-American, but let's not get political now. :Dhttp://www.inspectionnews.net/home_inspection/../images/smilies/smile.gifhttp://www.inspectionnews.net/home_inspection/../images/smilies/smile.gif

Mike Holmes is certainly qualified to be a judge. The show appears to be sponsored by Home Depot & probably is taped in Canada.

Don't you mean "off to Tim 'Ortons, Eh?" ;)

come to think of it, the canadian accent kinda sounds a little bit Bahstin-ish...weird.

in last nights final episode the all knowing mr holmes made one huge mistake. he said over and over that the winners steps needed a handrail and that's minimum code. there was a series of landings less than 30" above grade not steps as he insinuated. there is no handrail requirement here but if he wants to look stupid so be it!:D
