Amy sent me an email; “I thought you might be interested in this.” Which was followed by a press release regarding the return of what can only be described as the most compelling television show of our time: Vanilla Ice Goes Amish.
1. I know.
2. How does Amy know me so well?
3. WHY DID I CANCEL MY CABLE?????????
4. How can this be the return of Vanllia Ice Goes Amish? That would indicate this is season 2 and that would mean there was a season 1 and nobody told me. People! Not okay! How can these things be going on and nobody tells me? Man.
Now, I knew Vanilla Ice had a construction show, and I saw it a few times, but I saw more Ed Hardy than power tools so I never kept up. Now, some genius decided to smack together my two favorite things – outdated 90s cultural icons and secretive, bearded religious factions – and mashed them together in the name of DIY. Fantastic. This is going to be better than that episoide of Trading Spaces when Hildi carpeted someone’s basement with sand.
Word to your mother: On a similar topic called construction, my site is going to be under construction a bit this week. You may or may not notice anything. I’m not really sure how this will go, but if you stop by and see something “in progress” don’t worry. It’s grabbing a mai thai at the bar. It’ll be back soon.
I didn’t know that show got picked up for a 2nd season, the 1st season was great (and pretty heartfelt).
Guess it’s time to set my DVR. Can’t wait to see the new site:)
Vanilla Ice and the Amish was just so crazy that it worked. Peaches, you need to see season 1.
And Trading Spaces? Gee whiz, I haven’t thought about that show in a looong time. Hildi was way too off-the-wall with her designs for these homes to be liveable ever again. (Seriously, who staple-guns horrid silk flowers all over a master bathroom’s walls? Oh, wait…someone who isn’t LIVING in it, that’s who!) But I LOVED Doug Wilson. He did some good work.
Doug was great! My heart will always belong to Vern, but Doug was awesome too. The best was when Hildi and Vern worked the same episode…one family would spend all weekend with Hildi going crazy town on their neighbor’s house only to come home to a spa. Bet they felt guilty 🙂
so sad… no diy network here. but thank you for the trading spaces blast from the past. hildi was insane!
oh, and funny thing that i thought you would like to hear, when i was playing the trailer for the vanilla ice/amish show a google ad for a 40% off coupon from hobby lobby was being advertised.
and no, i didn’t click the link to print the coupon.
can’t wait to see the changes to your site.
Ha! Yeah, I get to block specific ads on my site’s sidebars, but what ads get picked up by youtube…who knows!
Thank YOU for sharing this! I am setting the DVR now. Love me some Vanilla Ice.
Season 2! Oh this is big. I also cancelled cable(drat!), but I found a few episodes from season 1 for free on a website called ulive.com. Maybe they will also have season 2!?! Happy viewing.
