But back to This Old House. I've never gotten a reasonable explanation
why Steve Thomas left the show after 14 years. I don't think it's fair
that Bob Vila, who was the show's first host and is, too, celebrating
25 years on TV this year, wasn't mentioned in passing on the first
episode - even acknowledging the 17-year-old feud between Vila and
creative director/founder Russ Morash.

This was also the case in TOH Magazine when Thomas left the show. All
references to him were purged like it was the Soviet Union and he was
Stalin. That's why I was pleased to see this month's 25th Anniversary issue
of TOH Magazine. They actually acknowledged all 3 hosts by name and in
pictures. I have been a charter subscriber and this is by far my favorite
issue.
