Television as a Tool

Time for me to recommend a Canadian Television programme. Ordinarily I'll be the first to say how shit Canadian TV can be, has been and is. But we got a couple of nuggets and these nuggets are in fact gold.
CASE and POINT:

Holmes on Homes
This show offers anyone who has a home and is doing any sort of repair and or additions or remodelling to their abode very important information on how not to get screwed.

This show is hosted by Mike Holmes basically he is like Bob Villa with balls. He lays the cards on the table and tells homeowners how contractors and workmen (in most cases scammed artists) have fucked up and taken advantage and basically done a piss-poor job and as a consequence he goes in repairs the work and tells the viewers how things should be done, what to look out for, and how to not get scammed.

Basically it's Television that teaches.

My only complaint and I hope they are able to fix this one glitch is that the show is not at a consistant time.

It's on HGTV and here are the dates and hours it's on:
(all Eastern time)
Monday - 1:00AM (one hour)
- 4:00AM (one hour)
- 7:30PM (half hour show)

Wednesday -7:00 PM (half hour show)
Thursday - 8:00PM (one hour premiere)
- 11:00PM (one hour)

Friday - 2:00 AM (one hour)
Saturday - 3:00PM (one hour)
Sunday - 10:00 PM (one-hour)
