My father abandoned my mom and two brothers and I when I was 2. I can remember watching this show back since the 80's and can say without any reservation that I wouldn't be the man my family needs me to be without all the instruction I received from this show, as well as the example that Roger, Norm, Kevin and all the rest gave to me on how to be a competent and caring man. Can't thank them enough.
As a 77 year old retired construction trades worker representing the third generation of a local Construction family (my son and son-in-law currently the fourth), This Old House has always been the Standard Bearer for residential construction over its entire existence. Starting with Norm Abrams and including all the other disciplines represented (Richard, Tom, Roger, and a few electricians), it has always displayed the highest level of skill and professional craftsmen to represent the trades. Can't think of any other current DIY show that comes close to representing a accurate account of the "real every day meaning" of doing professional level construction. Those of us who take pride in the work we leave behind when our job is complete respect and thank those "professional and skilled" craftsmen that have been the TOH crew over the years. 👍👍👍👍
agreed. its none of our business unless he wants us to know. agree with your whole comment. ive learned so much from that man. i wish him nothing but the best
Yes, it IS meaningless but nice to hear he has been rewarded for all his hard work and knowledge !!! Sorry you aren't well Roger but congrat's on your success !!!
You can’t put a price on Roger because he is priceless, his contribution to everyone he has helped and to This old house has a value that can’t be matched. Prayers and blessings to you Roger!!
From what I have seen on TOH, Roger seems like an extremely caring and wonderful person. He always seemed to have a calm and patient demeanor on the show. I hope he is using the retirement from the show to enjoy his time with family and take care of himself. I noticed that he does seem to limp and have more movement issues in later seasons, and this could be anything, especially for someone who worked such a physically demanding job for so long. We miss you Roger, please take care of yourself!
Roger is certainly missed on the show. While he can never be replaced, the new gardener is very talented and doing a great job. May Roger’s retirement be as happy as he has made all of us for the past 35 years.
What I have always appreciated about the This Old House staff is that they are genuine, down-to-earth people who actually do the work that we see on the program. Many/most HGTV "stars" are more actors than builders, doing video bites while other, unseen craftsmen do most of the work. Roger, like all the TOH experts, worked with the property owners to produce a landscaping scheme that met their needs and wants rather than pushing ahead on his own and surprising them at a phony "reveal". BTW, Roger's net worth is the result of a successful business career. He worked hard for that money, and his TOH "pension" is very modest. He can look back on a job well done, and I wish him the best.
Well, I'm not even an American. I live far away in Kashmir and thanks to UA-cam, I got to see a lot of his videos and man, did I love them!!! Stay healthy, Roger! Love from Kashmir!
I have watched TOH since returning from overseas where we did not get much American TV. Roger has given me tons of ideas as to how to plant trees, bushes, when and how to trim trees and bushes. Roger will be sorely missed by TOH fans, but Jen brings a new face with new ideas. Roger, you have my deepest gratitude for all you have done to help us home owners through the day.
For all of his years of priceless dedication and hard work, his net worth is 11 million. Meanwhile any of the characters of the sitcom Friends has a net worth of over 75 million each. Something wrong here with this world.
I miss Roger. He was like your best friend neighbor who came over to help you out. He had a way of explaining what and how to plant without talking down to people. I especially love his 'accent' ( that sounds just like mine). Even though I haven't lived in New England for many years, his advice about "finding the right plant" is universal. I wish him well in his retirement and hope any medical problems can be resolved. Jenn's doing great, but there's only one Roger Cook.
Lots of errors in this short video. Roger's letter wasn't from 2008, pretty sure it was 2018. Also, the Tonight Show segment wasn't in June 2020 (during the height of the Covid pandemic)..... it was January 2020 before the pandemic started. Come on guys, why not check your work before you publish it??
He helped to empower all his fans by the indepth knowledge of his profession. He encouraged us to do things we may have not tried to do on our own. Rodger Cook gave the viewers an ability to be able to communicate with landscape professionals. Enjoy your retirement, Rodger, well deserved. Thank you for your encouragement.
I love all the cast members of TOH but Roger was always my favorite. His hardcore Boston accent and strong desire to help others made me feel like he was an old friend. He will be soarly missed.
Roger has always been an integral part of this old house and I hate to see him go, but I'm very happy to see that he's taking care of business and spending time with his family. That makes me really happy these these guys are definitely a different breed of media characters, because they really don't care about clout or anything like that they just do what they have to do and have been following the same thing since Bob Villa back 40 years ago. Much respect, Roger
Always loved watching Roger. He was so good at explaining why he was doing what. Hope Roger's enjoying his well deserved retirement. Perhaps we'll see him again if he'll make an occasional guest appearance.
I won't speculate on his health. Just wish him luck. As a 40 year old I grew up on this old house. Starting with bob vila in the 80's ! I watched this show every Saturday. I went to trade school and have made a good life for my family. I thank this old house for opening those doors.
As did I, Grew up watching toh, and hometime, new Yankee workshop, and the wood Wright shop every Saturday morning, grew up remodeling the house with my dad, and loved being in hands on classes like tech, then ended up going to school to become a tech teacher, so I could share what I learned from the shows to give back and pass the knowledge on. I've had so many students go into construction, engineering and even come back to tell me all about their home improvement projects.
As I am a New England native myself. Roger and those on the show are HOME to me! May he retire and have a full life. I have health issues and it is not easy. God bless!!!
Don't know why but this dude had once inspired me to make a trash can for my local Community Garden. I had caught him in an old episode of "This Old House" making something and then it hit me to make my project and people actually used it!!!!!!!!
This Old House and Ask This Old House are great show's. I been watching them for years. I love how they interact with each other and how they explain the things they do and why.
We miss roger cook on this old house. This old house is an absolute pleasure to watch and I always watch and never miss a episode. Great people are very good in their individual job description.
I appreciate the comprehensive update on Roger Cook. Roger was a big part of the show and will be missed on the show. I hope he is feeling better, enjoying family, friends and travel during his retirement.
I've been watching TOH and ATOH back as far as 1988, when Bob Vila had Home Again. Along with JoJo and Dean Johnson of Hometime, these shows have been like family to me.
@@kevinhornbuckle thats another none of our business question but my friend lol, i was curious there too. ( i say friend cause youre not my enemy) always seemed like almost wife of the week . changed often on show at least. hell maybe that was part of the cast. idk lmao
@@richardlouis8295 I wasn't sure who or how the series started, though it started with renovating that one old home. I saw the segment on what house was the beginning of the shows. Glad to be apart as a viewer fron Canada in the Niagara a region of Ontario.
This show has a great cast. Roger is missed. Always loved his segments and learned alot more than i thought i would while getting enlightened on what to do outside my house.
The motivation to build my own home came from This Old House. I started watching the series in the 70's and purchased several of their books and videotapes. My house, completed in 1993, incorporates into it many of the building techniques and features I picked up from watching this program. Norm is the greatest, but together, all the cast members made the show the success that it's been over four decades.
We miss him so much ... not that his replacement isn’t a pleasure to watch... but roger and his “Mainer” accent was alway enjoyable and he is alway very informative... please make a few special appearances roger !!
Thank you Roger for all your years on TOH. I hope you are well and that we'll see you once and a while on TOH. Enjoy your retirement, and take care of yourself sir!!!
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? Hope and Prayers for you Roger, God bless him. This is an Amazing man ,God TALENT. The Best to you and your family Roger.
Happy to hear Roger has done so well financially. At least he won't need to worry about money during retirement. Stay well and happy for many years Roger. You have "earned" it !!!
Roger Cook may have retired from the show...he is very knowledgeable in his approach to landscaping and knows when a tree is dying or dead,saving homeowners the grief!!. He doesn't sugar-coat,tells it like it is!. I hope he stays healthy and best wishes for a well deserved retirement!!. His spot on both shows is being well filled by Jenn Nawada!! Both shows are in good hands!!
Couldn’t wait for Roger’s segment! The others on the show were interesting, even though Rich T. Me no understand the guts of a home, I did stay with you. I prefer to be outside digging in the earth and planting. Roger was always into the project he was going to transform. Excavating a hole for a tree was so exciting🙂. Plus he was hot looking! Have no t.v. Reception, so it’s been a decade, and have missed T.O.H. Thought it was crass to mention Rogers net worth. So bud, sorry your health is under the weather and am Wishing your retirement meets your expectations. You are missed and we the watchers learned so much from you - Thank You!
Glad he keeps his personal life private. Grew up watching him and a fan of the show. It has shown me a lot as a woman who owns her “1932 old house.” He will be missed and I wish him and his family the best.
STEVE G. We will miss you Roger. I remember watching the show on Saturday while taking care of my parents. This makes me sad as this show and watching you got me through those times. I will keep you in my prayers Roger. To the remaining cast keep up the good work. To Jenn congrats 👏
Thank you Roger for your years of service! I have enjoyed watching This old house and will continue. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take care old friend.
Thank you Roger for all your advice and expertise. I think Jenn N. will do great because she knows the legacy that Roger created on TOH and how high the bar was set.
I was in Rogers High School class in Burlington Mass. He's been a great guy all the way. He played center on the football team and he also played on the basketball team. It's been great to see how well he is done but I was sorry to see his wife go as we knew her in high school. Good luck in retirement
Roger is a great teacher and also seems to be an incredibly nice person. He’s contributed much. I’m nearly certain that he’s got Parkinson’s Disease. It runs in my family and I feel like I can spot it very early. Blessings to Roger and his family!
I don't care about his worth, other than being happy that he can retire comfortably. Roger was wonderful in sharing so much information, I watch re-runs, just to catch information that I previously missed. TOH was the perfect show for me as my two loves are wood working and gardening. Now unable to move much, I still do a little of both. Roger had a wonderful way of explaining in everyday language how to do each task. While he did not explain everything, he gave enough to allow one to do most jobs, and if you were smart, you would research a little more. I hope he overcomes his health issues and can enjoy the remainder of his life.
Thanks Roger, for everything that you taught me and millions of others. Some feel that a celebrity owes them something for the rest of their life... I feel that YOU have given US ALL more than enough and now I only want to say that WE should step back and be thankful. Enjoy your life, family and accomplishments.... But, know that WE miss you.
And every single dollar was earned! Hard work that must have taken a toll on his body. Absolutely miss him on the show. Taught me many things watching his masterpieces being constructed.
Even though I am not a homeowner, I learned so much from the guys on TOH. In my part of the country the show aired on Saturday nights at 7 PM. My wife knew not to serve dinner on Saturday nights until 8:00. I think I only missed a handful of shows since I began watching in 1980.
What a great show he will be missed it’s like they were a part of your family .They taught so many people how to do so many wonderful things Roger your the best buddy I have worked outdoors all my life and always respected your hard work and knowledge may god bless
I still access both show's for help all the time, but I used to look forward to Roger's new episodes. So now who's going to harass Silva.🥰 Keep up the good work-you're my Encyclopedia Brittanica!
At some point, in every occupation, you reach "a certain point"... and that usually means it's time to move on. That doesn't necessarily mean one is burned-out because of the job; it could mean that there are just other considerations in life. Over the years I've enjoyed and have benefited from Roger's expert knowledge and tips on landscaping and gardening. He will be missed...
yes indeed. as i said in my post it is none of our business what hes worth. that aside i do agree with you, roger will be missed on the show. jenn has earned her spot. i will support her as well. see i had an issue with somebodies net worth question. am quite sure the salary and benefits will assist him as he transitions into retirement. as long as he can keep busy mentally and somewhat physically, he will live quite awhile.
@@yamahonkawazuki the wealth thing was/is a non-issue for me. Change is constant...one person moves on; another comes along. I think the young woman will do an excellent job.
Roger you are the man the mith and the legend no one did it better than you, stay healthy my friend and hope to see you on Toh and atoh for cameo you rock Roger
Its been a pleasure Mr. Cook to watch you over the years dating back to when my dad would watch the show. I've picked up numerous learning skills from you on the show, best of health to you sir, happy retirement! p.s. my dads name is also Roger! thank you Brian.
I have watched all of them great men who work there magic on job sights roger is one of them he is awesome at what he does i miss him. to me they are all like family i just dont see then in person i would love to meet them all in person shake there hand roger take care we miss you 👍🙏

Yes, it IS meaningless but nice to hear he has been rewarded for all his hard work and knowledge !!! Sorry you aren't well Roger but congrat's on your success !!!
Thats Americana in nut shell it about how much your worth

The first year it sleeps

And every single dollar was earned! Hard work that must have taken a toll on his body. Absolutely miss him on the show. Taught me many things watching his masterpieces being constructed.
Even though I am not a homeowner, I learned so much from the guys on TOH. In my part of the country the show aired on Saturday nights at 7 PM. My wife knew not to serve dinner on Saturday nights until 8:00. I think I only missed a handful of shows since I began watching in 1980.
Thank you for everything Roger.
What a great show he will be missed it’s like they were a part of your family .They taught so many people how to do so many wonderful things Roger your the best buddy I have worked outdoors all my life and always respected your hard work and knowledge may god bless
Roger, thanks for all the fantastic shows. You are truly the best ❤️.
I still access both show's for help all the time, but I used to look forward to Roger's new episodes. So now who's going to harass Silva.🥰 Keep up the good work-you're my Encyclopedia Brittanica!
At some point, in every occupation, you reach "a certain point"...
and that usually means it's time to move on. That doesn't necessarily mean one is burned-out because of the job; it could mean that there are just other considerations in life.
Over the years I've enjoyed and have benefited from Roger's expert knowledge and tips on landscaping and gardening.
He will be missed...
yes indeed. as i said in my post it is none of our business what hes worth. that aside i do agree with you, roger will be missed on the show. jenn has earned her spot. i will support her as well. see i had an issue with somebodies net worth question. am quite sure the salary and benefits will assist him as he transitions into retirement. as long as he can keep busy mentally and somewhat physically, he will live quite awhile.
@@yamahonkawazuki the wealth thing was/is a non-issue for me. Change is constant...one person moves on; another comes along. I think the young woman will do an excellent job.
Roger you are the man the mith and the legend no one did it better than you, stay healthy my friend and hope to see you on Toh and atoh for cameo you rock Roger
Thank you for all the beautiful work you do and for sharing your knowledge which is priceless.
A Beautiful Man! A Beautiful Spirit. A smile that Melts the Heart.
Not sure about all that but a real guy.
An awesome man, who has a lasting legacy to the show.
Thanks Roger for all those good years you gave us. Enjoy your retirement and stay in prayer. I already miss you on the show.
Its been a pleasure Mr. Cook to watch you over the years dating back to when my dad would watch the show. I've picked up numerous learning skills from you on the show, best of health to you sir, happy retirement! p.s. my dads name is also Roger! thank you Brian.
Always have been an avid fan. He really knows his business. All the best Roger !🌳🌲
Good luck, sir. We always enjoyed your appearance on the show. You entertained us and educated us.
Still one of my favorite shows. Moving around pbs and create..🤷♂️❤️😍🥰
I do miss seeing Roger on TOH, I hope he is enjoying good health and prosperity, he deserves it.
After 40 my favorite TV show
First of all This Old House is not a reality show. It is about real people fixing up real homes. No gimmicks.
Oki👍👍
