The earlier shows, first 2-3 seasons, were fun to watch. There was more variety in houses and designs. The mother- daughter duo seemed to get along pretty well. I enjoyed Karen and her projects the most out of anything. Now they have minimized Karen and it was a gradual minimization, which means the show's quality has gradually gone down. Now that the daughter must be the center of attention and everything has to be her way or else, it's less enjoyable to watch. Her designs are the same every episode. There is no humor or fun in the show. I miss Karen, and I hope she's enjoying her retirement!
