On this weekend's Hometime (the one in syndication, not PBS) at the end of the show (a guy adding on to his house), Dean saluted Robin and introduced us to a new member of the staff - Miriam Johnson (no relation to Dean). Interesting note on their website - is that they are no longer doing the "husband/wife" act as of yore, but rather a more well in their words -
"Today, we are moving away from the married couple concept, yet taking the "living the project" format even further to include real homeowners pitching in and a unique home improvement crew."
That's why we see more of Bucki, Dan, and Judd and the homeowners. Have you noticed that most of the homeowners in the last year have been Hometime staff members? Guess that's perk for working on the show.
Anyways, getting back to Dean's last words on Robin, wished she were there to say goodbye to her fans and to thank us for the support. When JoAnne left there was bigger "to do" about it.
We will miss her - oh, well, there's always those ladder commercials!
