Well, we will see less of Robin swinging a hammer
these days. According to the following from the
Hometime site:

----
Robin Hartl was hired by Hometime in July 1992 to begin production of
the 1993 season with her last episode videotaped in August of 2004.
Robin has been a part of some of the most interesting and exciting
Hometime projects ever, including The Lodge-Style Log Home, The House
with Character, and The Prairie Home Remodel. She has half-a-dozen
Hometime bathroom projects and over ten kitchen remodels under her tool
belt. Robin has also taken part nearly a dozen times as Hometime teamed
up with Habitat for Humanity. After twelve seasons and over three
hundred episodes, Robin has been with Hometime longer than any female
co-host
-----

Question is, will she have her own set of shows like
JoAnne did after leaving Hometime? I'll certainly miss
her.

I have also noticed that begining with last year, they
have changed the format of the show abit. More on camera
time with the homeowners and crew talking about the
project. Not sure if I find that intersting or not.
What do you all think?

MJ Wallace

I got this email from Hometime customer service...

Dear Carl,

Thanks for taking the time to write us!
Robin has not said what she is going to be up to. I did hear that she
may be continuing on as spokesperson as Little Giant.
Sincerely,

Jamie Swanson

You and me both thar pardnar!

It looked better than JoAnne's anyday!

However, with so many home improvement shows and that show not being
carried by DIY, I seem to have not seen to many of the episodes
lately. Most were pretty interesting though, more than some on DIY.

What!!!!!!
That was Hometime!!!!
Liked it a great deal more when JoAnne left. She had an air about her. Also,
heard that she was kind of uppity during public appearances. Saw her new
commercial for Mr. Rooter or something like that. Boy, she has ballooned,
guess that old metabolism caught up with her..

Good riddance. What a bimbo. Only reason she kept her spot so long is
Dean-o-the-Dimwit finally found a female sidekick less competent than
he. What was she? 3rd or 4th try?

So, no I don't think she'll get her own show. And, yeah, J.L. has
bulked up. Too bad, she had nice pins. Never saw Robin in shorts did
we? I wonder why?

No one that I've ever heard of can remember the first girl, Peggy
Knapp (I know I never saw her), but she was on for one season before
JoAnne, who was on for four years. Then Suzanne Egli was on for one
season (I thought she was much hotter than Robin and I think she's the
one that helped with the garage), and was replaced by Robin.

I keep getting dizzy around her; no blood left in the upper
head, I guess. Did you see her in the black leather pants after
she did the round bed surround in the one show, where they wrapped
bending plywood and veneer on the freestanding oval whatchahoozit?
Maaaaaan, hot, hot, hot!

Of course, I love little Robin Kip, too. I don't recall which show
she was on, and she could barely hammer a nail, but she was a little

Hmm, nice shots. I was trying to see if she had
and "work" done. Not sure, perhaps a nip and tuck,
but mostly her hair and makeup did change.

Boy, Hometime will be less interesting now.

When JoAnne left, Dean had a farewell event
for her, I wonder if there will be one for Robin.

MJ Wallace

If you watched it. Joanne was leaving Hometime because she wanted to
take a shot at stand up comedy. I guess that last show was to help
launch her new career.

Within a few months her own "home reno" show was on the air.

Makes me wonder whether her comedy career died very quickly, or maybe
Joanne just got the last laugh.

---------------------

I liked the young Robin. Following the shows line, of a young
couple attacking a remodeling job, it worked. In the end, with the
high end hair and makeup, she just didn't look like anyone who would
hold a hammer or use a saw.

Difficult to predict.

After all, when she leaves, they'll be Hart-less. groan

With regard to the shorts, I stand corrected, but then I haven't watched
the show much for several years. I do however stand by the bimbo/dimwit
characterizations.

I have a friend who knows Robin. Here's the real scoop.

Hometime offered to renew her contract for the 13th season last
August-04. Throughout 2004, Dean and Robin participated as
spokespersons for Little Giant Ladder and shot an infomercial
demonstrating the product. Within months, the infomercial was ranked
among the top 10 in the country.

Little Giant Ladder replaced Dean with Richard Karn (Al from the sitcom
Home Improvement) and asked Robin to continue as a spokesperson and
shoot a new infomercial with Richard. As I understand it, because of
her contract with Hometime, she had to leave the show in order to take
the deal with Little Giant.

Apparently the deal was too good to pass up. So she declined the offer
to renew with Hometime for a 13th season.

Somebody ranks infomercials? G

For that matter, someone out there has so little of a life that they
sit through them? TV is bad enough without the "content" being a 30

If I wasn't married, I wouldn't even bother with cable or sat TV, with
so much to do and so many places and people to see.

I agree - I'm in the same position and it gripes me every month to pay for
50 more channels that are full of commercials. If it wern't for History,
Discovery & HGTV, I'd probably tank it anyway.

I really ought to. The big trouble with it is that it's addictive. I sit
down to watch one show and the whole evening's shot. Nice thing about
movies is you go to the movie and 1-1/2 to 5 hours later it's over and you
either have to go out to the lobby and get another ticket or go do
something else.

You too, huh? My wife insists on one TV in the living room, one in the
kitchen, and one in her hobby room. I've been known to watch the news,
Jeopardy, and the occasional PBS show on the one in the living room but
I could easily do without cable and still get those.
