I miss the Two Furniture Guys and the New Yankee Workshop, both of which used to be on PBS. Norm retired his New Yankee Workshop. Not sure what happened to the Two Furniture Guys, maybe they are still on local access somewhere.
As for cooking the Cooking channel sucks! The only ones I watch or old reruns from PBS, new shows from America's Test Kitchen, and a few more from PBS. I miss the Two Fat Ladies cooking show from England. It was a hoot, but the little old lady who smoked on every show died of cancer--go figure! Do you remember Justin Wilson, the Louisiana comedian and cook? I always liked his cooking show, but he died several years ago too.

I grew up on Justin Wilson. I have 3 of his cookbooks.
