What happened to him?

I'm watching Inside This Old House and they are showing old clips of him. I haven't even seen him do a Sear's commercial in a long time.

Norm probably buried him!

I'd bet money that Ty took over his spot to try to appeal to a younger crowd.

Norm Abram is the man. The stuff he makes and the details he puts into his work is outstanding. He's been on This Old House forever and the New Yankee Workshop has me in awe everytime I watch it. Anyone remember when he did those Nike commercials about 6-7 years ago? Great stuff.

Vila stopped doing This Old House a long time ago. The show has had 2 new hosts since. He had his own sindicated show for a while, but I haven't seen it on TV in a couple of years. He's pushed so much Sears product in the past that I doubt he needs to work anymore.

Yeah he's probably chillin in the Bahamas somewhere with his millions.

I always liked the 'How to Crew'

I call my sister Bobbie Villa cause her name is Bobbie and she's always trying to do some project or another...I'm sure his name will go down as a euphemism, just like MacGuyver.

What ever happened to Roy Underhill and The Woodwright's Shop?

 

[jasontp]

All those building shows used to bore the hell out of me. I'd like to go back and watch them now that I've actually had to remodel a building myself.


Eh, I'm sure it'd just piss me off to see how easy it could've been
