When I worked at Soundtrack years ago, we would get celebrities in once in a while for a quick recording session while they were in Boston. A few of us admin would compete over which one of us could meet Matt Damon or Adam Sandler or Nomar at the elevator and bring them up to their studio. One time, Norm Abram came in to record a spot for Home Depot or something and I was pretty pumped. Nobody fought me for him...or even turned their head to look at him for that matter. But This Old House ranks up there with casseroles and Christmas for things that are nostalgically comforting to me.

I've recently watched some TOH episodes, and although there's a whole new cast of characters, it's still completely mesmerizing. I just learned more about flashing a water-tight window from Kevin and Tom than I have in any class in architecture school. You want to install a sliding door in your house? I'll show you how. I think half of the lectures in my Building Technology classes at Columbia could probably be substituted with TOH episodes. And if architecture falls through for me, I'm going straight to Kevin O'Connor for an internship. LOVE This Old House.
