I find Colossal Construction on the Science Channel to be interesting.

I like Holmes on Homes too. Nothings more entertaining than discovering shoddy construction and very helpful in gaining construction knowledge.

Yes.Holmes on Homes is a really good show. Can be quite technically overwhelming for a lay but you sure do learn.Even though its Canadian and refers a lot to the Ontario Building Code,its still pretty good.
He has another show now called Homes Inspection.

Seems like his empire is expanding.

I am fascinated by Property Ladder, which a show where people attempt to fix up and flip a house for profit.  It is amazing what people think they can do with a $10,000 budget.  Plus it always makes me lolz when people realize that demo is actually hard work.

Flip This House.  Shows you how much respect the trades get.

I guess other other shows would be almost everything shown on HGTV. They pretty much all fall around in the same real estate/interior design/construction realm.
