Happy Throwback Thursday! Our throwback year this week is 1979, the year This Old House premiered on PBS! It was one of the original home improvement shows on national TV and is now in its 45th season. It began as a one time 13 part series, hosted by Bob Vila and Norm Abrams, but its grown into one of the most popular shows on PBS. It’s spawned several spin offs, a magazine, and for-profit websites. And it was even the inspiration behind Tool Time on Home Improvement. Learn more about this groundbreaking show in the audio below!
