Robin Hartl - Leaves Hometime - YIKES

[LRod]

No one that I've ever heard of can remember the first girl, Peggy Knapp (I know I never saw her), but she was on for one season before JoAnne, who was on for four years. Then Suzanne Egli was on for one season (I thought she was much hotter than Robin and I think she's the one that helped with the garage), and was replaced by Robin.

This is all covered at the Hometime webpage,

I keep getting dizzy around her; no blood left in the upper head, I guess. Did you see her in the black leather pants after she did the round bed surround in the one show, where they wrapped bending plywood and veneer on the freestanding oval whatchahoozit? Maaaaaan, hot, hot, hot!

Of course, I love little Robin Kip, too. I don't recall which show she was on, and she could barely hammer a nail, but she was a little darlin'. Petite -does-it- for me. ;)

If you watched it. Joanne was leaving Hometime because she wanted to take a shot at stand up comedy. I guess that last show was to help launch her new career.

Within a few months her own "home reno" show was on the air.

Makes me wonder whether her comedy career died very quickly, or maybe Joanne just got the last laugh.

I liked the young Robin. Following the shows line, of a young couple attacking a remodeling job, it worked. In the end, with the high end hair and makeup, she just didn't look like anyone who would hold a hammer or use a saw.

No, missed it thank goodness - coulda led to a massive...

I actually do remember Peggy Knapp. As I recall they worked on a rather unimpressive little white house (not too dissimilar to my own house). I believe she later moved on to the science show Newton's Apple. Come to think of it, I used to work with a guy named John Knapp who had worked on Hometime for a year or two but I never thought to ask him if he was related to Peggy. I liked Suzanne. I'm sorry she left the show. I think I must be in the minority in that I never much cared for Robin. She's not bad looking but there's something about her -- I can't even say exactly what -- that I find annoying. Give me Amy Winn from TS or Jennie from In A Fix.

Difficult to predict.

After all, when she leaves, they'll be Hart-less.

They are easy on the eyes, aren't they? Lisa LaPorta on "Designed to Sell" is also a winner IMHO.

Yeah, I remembered that thread, and her butt, of course, rather fondly.....

With regard to the shorts, I stand corrected, but then I haven't watched the show much for several years. I do however stand by the bimbo/dimwit characterizations.

[Larry Bud]

Time for you guys to upgrade, geez.

[Edwin Pawlowski]

She used to be sort of young and cute, but now she is maturing into a rather attractive young woman. And still fits a nice pair of jeans.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing... I'm too young to be in this hobby!

I don't even go for the silicone-stripper blondie type, either, preferring the girl next store look.

I don't get the whole Robin Hartyl thing.

It's very simple. What is better than a woman you find attractive?

It's a woman you find attractive that likes the same things you do. Obviously since there are so few woman in the woodworking industry as compared to the amount of men, when you find one, it automatically makes her more attractive than she might otherwise be.

That has the ring of "...all the girls look prettier at closing time..."

[Lee Gordon]

You'll probably be disappointed to learn that just like Robin, Paige Davis is leaving her show too. The knuckleheads in charge of programming at TLC have continually messed around with the format and concept of Trading Spaces (not to mention over-exposing it with numerous spin-offs and specials) and seem surprised that the ratings have not held up, so their solution was to fire Paige and go with a no-host format starting next season.

NOOOOO! Say it ain't so! She was one of the reasons (besides Amy) to

*watch* the bloody show. ... and they are expecting the ratings to improve after she leaves, ....how?
