    I love the old shows I remember the funniest on ever was bob had gone to California to remodel a beach cabin that had foundation problems and had Norm tale a look. Bob asked Norm what he thought, Norm says "I think I want a ticket back to Boston" I have been laughing about that for 20 years.

    This was Vilas last season. After this Steve Thomas came in to host. Anybody remember his first project? Barbara and Lynn Wickwayer post and beam. I’d watch New Yankee, then TOH then Hometime. Every Saturday from 9-10:30 am.

    Vila- always asking the right questions that average homeowners would ask, and coaxing the answers from the experts who, after all, are not TV people. The show's never been anywhere near this good since he left

    Interesting note: This episode is about 28 minutes run-time. Back when PBS only had a station ID and a quick promo for upcoming programs. Now the typical run-time for TOH is about 23 minutes, 5 minutes shorter. Need room for those sponsor "ads."

    This Old House has come a long way. Since the days of home owners listening to Bob Vila, the ineptness of both Bob Vila and Steve Thomas.
    It's nice to see a host actually being instructed as of now. Kevin O'Connor is a great host.

    Every time I see these older episodes I miss the older show more and more better. They don't really do a lot of demonstrating when they are working anymore. It's just basically talking and telling you what is in store for the house next. You can tell when bob hosted this old house you learned more. When he left it wasn't the same anymore. I use to watch the show in the 90s along with the Yankee work shop with norm when I was a kid. But nobody can top bob as the host. Bob and norm looked cool. They both were smart and worked good together. The show was more interesting back when it first started. If anyone knows where to find the seasons with just him let me know. It would be great to see episode one. All of the earlier episodes with bob are rare to find these days because they won't air them.

      coololds85 I could not agree with you more! Bob was the best host ever and part of the reason he left the show was that he did not like the direction it was going. The rumors about him leaving because of being greedy and endorsements were lies. It was Russ MoreAsh was the bad guy if you know the story. I can't tell you how much I miss these shows either. They should have left it the exact same way. You don't learn anything from it anymore. I stopped watching the show after Bob left.

      I never donated another dime to PBS after they fired Bob. PBS doesn’t allow comments on any UA-cam videos either
      They are miserable AntiTrumpers and after 9/11 they played non stop cloying music without ever investigating or reporting on who the real enemy was and what we were up against. PBS SUCKS and their coverage of the Corona virus equally sensationalist and dismal

    Bob Villa was an award winning restorer of old homes and a developer before being hired to be the host of This Old House. The slickness of the newer shows makes even Norm Abrams look a little clumsy in the earlier shows. He was not inept as some suggest here.

      bullshit he did a interview and he even said he had never had remodeled a house before the show, he redecorated a victorian right before the dorchester house, he learned by watching his father who built their house, it was scripted and norm Abram told him what to say, norm was the guy responsible for the show doing well
