I think I went to this page and scrolled down to Viewer Services try that

I tried to watch it today and almost got dizzy.

Thank you so much. The filming really is horrible. It makes ya nervous to watch it.

Anybody else feel that way?

I just saw it this morning and hated it too.....like you I thought it was all over the place. Not enough of the craft itself and too much of the artist. I love Carol Duvall's show...so calm and informative. This new one will be cancelled too I hope!

I agree, Vikki, if they don't make some serious changes in filming and editing... they'll be cancelled due to not having an audience.

I LOVE to watch craft demonstrations... but I can't watch that show... it makes me feel anxious.

Hopefully they'll get a LOT of negative responses and realize that they've lost sight of the actual goal of the show... which is... or should be... to demonstrate crafts in such a way that the viewer can learn how to make the projects.

I give it a huge thumbs down...

I think they are trying to get the audience that watches the newer decorating makeover shows. I noticed a lot of them are really chit-chat and joking amongst the workers. I like the quieter ones that really show a redo like Room By Room and Joan Stefan. I loved Christopher but he is only on the Do it Yourself channel now.

A few yearws ago there was a program on Discovery called Savour Faire (sorry spelling) with a Nick something. He'd walk you through all the steps he took to have a dinner party. I emailed the channel recently and they said thanks but they didn't have a slot for him now.
It was a nice quiet but elegant show IMHO

I remember Savoir Faire...it was good Very nice table settings and food to fit the occassion. They always take the good shows off.....

Well if we all scream loud enough they might hear us.

What bothers me about them cancelling the show is that they might think the show failed due to a lack of interest in crafts. They would be so wrong!

They simply put together a show that is filled with eratic camera moves and obnoxious music. Their close ups (that typically last a nano second) are of the artist... rather than the details of the project.

If I were running that show I'd hire an Ellen DeGeneres type personality who would invite guests into her studio. The camera's would behave! (The current editors would go work for MTV!) And we would be left with an updated version of Carol Duvall. We'd have a host who is fun but keeps the focus on the project.

After all... isn't it the project we want to see?

Whatever happened to our Queen of craft, Carol Duvall. I hope the powers that be bring her back someday soon.
I continue to watch the re-runs on television.

The Carol Duvall Show is no longer in production. We first heard it was her choice to retire, and then got conflicting stories. She posted a letter on the HGTV Boards about it not being her idea to 'retire'. but the direction the crafting community as a whole was shifting. I have watched Carol since she was on the morning news show years ago, and was so happy to see her on HGTV. I would rather watch reruns of her show than that stupid excuse for a show that they used to call 'Crafters Coast to Coast' and changed it to 'That's Clever', probably a ploy to trick the viewers, since the way they do the show was about the stupidest thing I've ever seen, because there is no way I'd get in front of a camera and act the fool the way they wanted some of these crafters to do it. I had also read on the HGTV board that they would show her reruns for a year and then drop it completely, so we're still up in the air about what will happen. Here's a link to a letter posted on her HGTV website.
