Nate Berkus and the staff of his Oprah-owned talk show got some bad news right before the the new year. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it will finish out its second season but won’t be returning for a third.
The Nate Berkus Show has struggled from the beginning, when it premiered in September of 2010 with a 1.1 rating, and it’s now the lowest-rated among established talk shows.

In the fall of 2010 they invited bloggers to be in the audience for a taping of the show. But then, after we all tuned in to see them–Nate never mentioned on air that they were there. Oops. Not a great way to impress the bloggers or their readers right out of the gate.
(As you may remember, the online fury continued for days. Lesson here: Never tick off a bunch of bloggers–or their loyal readers!)
However. After that misstep, Nate more than redeemed himself by showcasing many amazing bloggers on his show. I usually fast-forward through the fashion and food segments, checking to see if there are any bloggers I know on the show each day. It’s been fun seeing so many of my favorites on TV.
I was really rooting for him and wish he could’ve made it work. I can’t say I was surprised when I heard it wasn’t coming back in the fall, though. Unlike Oprah’s other talk-show children Dr. Phil, Rachael Ray, and Dr. Oz, it just never really took off.
Lots of new talk shows are being developed with hosts like Jeff Probst, Katie Couric and Ricki Lake, all waiting to snag his spot, so we’ll see if any of them can do better.
Are you a fan of his show? Will you be sorry to see Nate go? Or did you already stop watching a long time ago?
P.S. I was never on The Nate Show, but they used some of my photos once. That’s my only claim to Nate Show fame. Ha.
You can see photos of Nate’s Gold Coast condo, which he sold when he moved to NYC for his talk show, here.

That makes me sad. Was one of the shows on in the daytime that I actually liked. Loved the decorating segments the best of course. Guess there just wasn’t enough trash on there to make it. Sick of all the other talk shows. Still love Nate & his positive attitude.
Worst show on t.v. Good riddance.
I was wondering because they had already stopped the show her in Oklahoma. I loved the Nate Show…recorded everyday. I have missed the show for sure.
Not surprised. I used to tune in regularly but stopped watching several months ago. I wish he would have just concentrated on makeovers and decorating and not all the other stuff. He is so talented and I think a lot of people were disappointed that his show wasn’t all about design, at least I was.
I enjoy Nate Burkus, but I wanted to see what he does best which is design. When his show started to veer off to what I call, “Queen for a Day” it kind of lost me. By the “Queen for a Day” comment, I mean a reference to a very old show where contestants pleaded that they didn’t have this and that and were rewarded with appliances, etc. I was becoming tired of see people ‘beg’ Nate for help only to see them rewarded with paint, gift certificates, etc. I want to see design!
How well I remember Queen for a Day” when I was a child in the 50s. The sob stories and the applause-o-meter. Wonder how many of those Maytags are still working??
I agree completely!! Maybe Oprah can pick it up on the OWN network and make it a DESIGN show, not cooking, not fashion, do what Nate does best!!!
I love the Nate Show! It is one of the only ones that I really enjoy and will be sad to see it go.
Oh that’s so sad , I love Nate , it should have been design show I really enjoyed that part only , I think there is a spot for that daily .
They never contacted me , but that’s ok
I’m sad to see The Nate Show go. His show had great decorating ideas and I loved that they offered an opportunity for bloggers to be featured!
I really love his show! He has a great personality and such a gift for design. His show doesn’t revolve around trashy features and gimmicks. I actually really like the little segments on fashion and food. To me, it rounds out the show nicely. But, of course, my favorite things are his design tips. I don’t know what junk they’ll replace the show with….probably another Oprah wannabe with tons of boring interviews.
What a shock..I love your show ..watch everyday..!! I hope you will move on or recreate a new show..I know you have had great sorrow in life losing your partner in the sunami..I lost my oldest of three sons..The grief process wow. I hope all will work out for you..I loved your show and bright personality.
Oh No! I really enjoy his show! And I found so many wonderful blogs from their appearances on the show and then blog hopping to other great blogs!
Hi, Julia, I am sad to see Nate’s show go! I DVR it every day and love to sit and watch & yes, see our blog friends on there. I never made it on either & was hoping to do something to get on before it’s gone, but I doubt that will happen now. He is very talented & will find something else to do, I’m sure. Thanks always for your very kind comments! It’s been a great 5 years & so happy to have met you in blogland.
I think if they had stuck strictly to a home decorating format and lost the food and fashion segments it could have been much more successful.
I’m sad that it won’t be on anymore. I love Nate’s decorating tips and style.
I am sad to see him go but I’m not really surprised. Had the focus of the show stayed on design he might have had a better chance. I tend to leave the room when the cooking or fashion segments come on.
One of my friends recommended the show to me since I’m home during the day right now. I’ve tuned in a few times and never found it interesting. One of the few times I watched it somebody famous was on showing her new California house. It was over the top, I prefer accessible design, or things I could actually afford, or hope to afford, in my own house. Nate commented that the celebrity deserved such a nice home. One of my pet peeves is that people feel they deserve certain things. I believe such things are earned and no one deserves luxury. It doesn’t mean they can’t have luxury, just that it’s not deserved. I shut the show off and haven’t watched it since.
I wouldn’t watch Nate in the beginning because it was so boring. Recently though, I had begun to tune in and watch while I ate my lunch. Lots of competition out there these days.
I was aware that they were not renewing the show but I didn’t know about the whole blogger fury. Honestly, I find that childish. They got to go to taping at least! I am sad to see it go. It’s the only part of my day (I work from home) where I carve out time to sit for a whole hour and enjoy! I hope it gets picked up somewhere else.
Like you the fashion and food was a disappointment for me. If he was going to stand out from the crowd he should have kept it strictly design. However I will sorely miss the show. I never knew about the blogger snafu, but always loved that he would showcase other low-end design from bloggers.
Back when I first heard that Nate would have a show of his own I was thrilled. Unfortunately, it was bad from the beginning. A really awful show. Nate always seemed so uncomfortable and nervous, which could be overlooked in the beginning but he never improved. Plus, I disliked the way he dressed and that silly giggle he has. I stopped watching after the first couple of months but I thought the show was doing well with the ladies. Guess there were more people like me out there.
I tuned in less than a 1/2 dozen times. I felt he was trying to cover too many subjects in one taping and though it had a “anyone can do this” attitude, the mood seemed contrived. Had it focused on decorating and makeovers and took full advantage of ‘teaching moments,’ Nate might have gained a strong following.
Saw my first episode last week and really liked it–especially his relaxed manner. He didn’t seem obnoxious like so many other hosts. Could definitely see him moved to a half-hour show on HGTV–interview bloggers and concentrate on decorating in the real world. Better than 150 episodes of House Hunters.
Wow – this is a great idea! I wonder if Nate (or HGTV) is paying attention?!
I’ve actually never watched his show. The only reason I even know about it is because of reading about him on other folks’ blogs. I think if he started something up that really connected with the strong blogging movement (like J. Elizabeth suggests), he could be quite successful.
Just my 2 cents. LOL
Once or twice I stopped on Nate’s show to see what it was like but what was on never really interested me. I love watching The Pioneer Woman’s cooking show on Saturday mornings though!
Never liked him. I’m not a watcher of daytime TV anyway, as I homeschool 4 children and chase after a 3 year old!
Nate is very talented and his talent showed on the Oprah segments, but he doesn’t have the stuff to be a host. A host needs a more dynamic personality and Nate, gentle soul that he is, just doesn’t. So he always appeared uncomfortable in his role as host.
I like that he showcased bloggers, but watching the show you would think that there aren’t any bloggers over the age of 39 that blog about decorating. There are many of us out here in blogland but I guess we didn’t fit his demographic. That bothered me.
PLease reconsider your decision to cancel Nate Berkus show…he is “one-of-a-kind” tv host…most sincere ever.
I never really watched his show but I know he put a lot of small bloggers on the map.
I record it every day and just watch it when it sounds interesting. I don’t understand what’s up with the cooking segments lately. Why they are doing cooking segments with a person who has no interest in cooking and no knowledge whatsoever of food prep. It’s annoying to watch. That’s a definite fast forward. I do like the design stuff though.
I like Nate – but the show… BOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!
I taped it in the beginning to watch, but I think I fast-forwareded through the whole show. He needs help! His style is great for the DIYer but he needs to find a producer.
xoxo
That’s a show that I always intended on watching and never got around to it. Maybe I’ll catch some re-runs.
I used to DVR the show and although the pace wasn’t quite yet right, sometimes that happens with new shows. There were a few segments that I really loved and I was a fan of his ongoing *Warrior Mom* story. I stopped watching when somehow it dropped off my DVR and I never noticed!! I think Nate is very talented and I know I’ll still be seeing him around!
From a New York perspective, there were parts of the show that were fantastic, but on the whole it didn’t fit together well. The decorating segments were good although he didn’t have to keep giving away the furnishings every time ..the self help and how to take care of yourself/dress better segments were boring. I hope he comes back as the decorating guru that he is and leaves the self help to the others. When he was finding unique decor and decorators around the country he was at his best. Once he started bringing on the B list “stars” it was all over. Disappointing!
You know, I wanted to like Nate. Truly, I did. I love Oprah and usually like the people she likes, but for some reason, I never connected with him…or rather, he never connected with me. I don’t know what it is. There is just something about him that feels fake to me. Best of luck to him though!
That’s too bad! I never watched the show, but it’s always sad when people get bad news like that! Especially Nate Berkus! He seems like such a nice guy!
I was one of his biggest fans when the show started but I eventually lost interest in the show–and even quit setting my DVR for it. I had hoped for more of Nate’s hands-on expertise but the fashion/cooking/etc. segments didn’t do anything for me. He was much more appealing to me on Oprah in small doses.
I wasn’t really a fan and like you only tuned in when a blogger was going to be featured. He did seem like a geninely nice guy though, so I am sorry for him, that it is being cancelled. Hopefully, this experience will have helped him to move into something else.
Lou Cinda
genuinely….sheesh!
I had heard that Julia and was very sorry about it !! I think he is so talented, I loved his segments on Oprah ‘ the before and after’s’ wish he had done more of those, I DVR’d him , although this season I did not !!!
Hope you are having a fantastic January !!! ( I am no SNOW lol)
All the best,
Kathy
It’s sad but not surprised. They tried to be too much for too many people. I didn’t care for the cooking , fashion and general fluff. Always wanted to see more decorating and there wasn’s enough of what he actually does best. Also, the time slot was not good.
I liked the show, sad to hear of it being cancelled! I liked the design, cooking, money saving segments! But I guess not everybody did. Maybe he will do something on Oprah’s network?
I actually never saw his show, but I did drool over the pics of his living room. I think those images helped start the black and white striped rug craze.
Makes me sad! I love that this was a platform for DIY bloggers to shine!
Like a lot of the commentary, I too am sorry to hear the show is cancelled but I shouldn’t be surprised. Like some mentioned, he shouldn’t have had segments on fashion and cooking, as that’s not his area of expertise and not the reason people would tune into his show. It’s sad to see shows dropping off that offer this type of format and get replaced with trashy reality talk shows. Can’t stand talk shows today. I miss the old talk shows of yesterday.
I hope that some other network looks at Nate and can come up with a different format/time for him. Good Luck.
I really tried to like his show – but it truly was a boring. I love his work though, he’s fabulous!
I am sad. I was just at a taping in October 2011. I do enjoy his show and he’s soooo cute! I didn’t know about the blogger snub. Lately he does acknowledge bloggers. Too bad for him—– it’s tough out there!
I’ve watched since the beginning of the first season; and, while I was disappointed when I saw the news in Dec. I wasn’t surprised. The first season was so rough, and he was not comfortable as a host. For all its faults (boring fashion segments, hit or miss cooking) Nate’s hosting skills were so much better this year. But the show is too unfocused. The show worked so well when he was doing design (especially for small spaces), design & shopping on a budget, or when he was doing segments with Peter Walsh, some of the bloggers & the Goodwill guy. The fashion stuff, and fix your life segments generally sucked the energy right out of the episode. I record it everyday but I also end up f-fwd through a lot of segments.
He really needs to be in a format that focuses only on the design segments, designing on a budget, DIY with special visits from the Goodwill Hunting guy & bloggers. I wish someone at HGTV would develop a show, then one of those Design Star winners I don’t like can go away. He has such a wonderful, gentle manner & is brilliant at what he does — he just needs a better producer and show concept.
Whenever Nate was on “The Oprah show” doing makeovers, I always tuned in to see his design work because he did such a great job. Sadly though, I never cared to tune into his show because he never did makeovers or focused on design. If he had, I think his show would have done better.
I love Nate – he is so talented. I was very excited when his show started, but it turned out to be not what I was expecting. I wish he would have focused on design – the show as it is seems too cluttered. I wish he had done a lot of location shows: going to people’s homes who needed help with makeovers and show how he made the decisions and worked in a real life setting. I know he will continue to be a very successful designer.
I love Nate, ever since his first show on Oprah. I record it everyday, and fast forward through the fashion stuff for the design. Maybe he can write some more books, or have a magazine? I would hate to see him gone all together for us who cannot hire him to decorate our homes. He is a wonderful, sincere, caring person- perahps the show was just too unfocused, or too many people work everyday now ( me included!) to make a trendy daytime show go. Sad day.
I enjoyed curling up w/ coffee and listening to the last 20 min or so because I was busy w/ two little ones for the first half.. Loved the tips and cheap deco ideas. Loved the room/home makeovers .. He seems nice, albeit slightly aloof, but I think this is due to a more reserved personality..
It really killed it for me to see the goodwill/cheap clothing segments.. okay for a shout-out to savings, but, imo, they milked it w/ terrible clothing. plus, those segs were too long
Hope to see a new one w/ him and more decor tips and home makeovers.
I liked the show and I will miss it, but am not surprised for many of the same reasons above. Having stated that the ratings do not count the people that DVR or watch on demand. I don’t understand why he wasn’t on OWN ..with all it’s faults it was better than allot of the programming they have on OWN now.
Personally I think too many are trying to copy Oprah’s format, and weather it was intentional or not, it was copying Oprahs format. Even Oprah got old after awhile. Sorry…. I know I’m going to burn for saying that.
I so wanted to like this show. I really did. But….I didn’t. Perhaps Nate needs to “retool” his show’s format. I found it hodge-podge and all over the place. A little structure and familiarity may have kept viewers tuning in.
I really wanted to like his show because he does have good ideas and I think he seems like a likeable person, but I really didn’t enjoy the show very much. Sorry, but maybe he’ll re invent himself and O. will find another avenue for his talents on her network.

I loved it and recorded all the 1st run shows. I was disappointed when they started doing more and more cooking segments, when there are a ton of those already. He is darling and talented and I will miss the show. I loved when he used the bloggers and everyday people and the “House Proud” segments.
i was very dissapointed the Nate Show is cancelled. I found the Show was very informative, lots a brilliant ideas and he was a very plesant host. it seems if a show is not negative and spread hate, you are not good for Televison.What a world we have
develope. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON THE T.V. STATION WHO IS ONLY CONCERN ABOUT RATINGS. GOOD LUCK “NATE” PEACE
i am disappointed but can see why it is going away-
for me he talked too much-
he never couldlet a guest finish a sentence w/o busting in trying to be funny-
i really do like his work but for me this show never really worked-
and then all the fashion and cooking stuff was boring to me

After they didn’t give you photo credit that left a bad taste in my mouth. And I just want to say that I am not surprised about this being canceled because it just was one of those shows where he was doing too much. He wasn’t a cooking show. He was a decorating show. I also thought the hour segment time was too much. He would have been better with a show between the View and the noon news. Ya know? Sad though. But, I am sure Oprah has plans for him. I wish she had a plan for me. HA!
I like Nate Berkus – but I believe the time slot he was in was a difficult one. I think he could be utilized better in a different format as well. I’m sure we will see more of him in the future.
I always like Nate, but I didn’t like his show.
Love Nate!! His show was all wrong for him. Let him show his design talent not pigeon hole him into another talk show.
I didn’t watch the show on a regular basis. However, I really liked it when I did get a chance to watch.
I really enjoy Nate himself, but felt the concept of the show wasn’t exactly right for what he does best. There must be a better way to showcase his warm personality and design talents.
I watched the show regularly since not much else was on that time slot. However, will miss his show. Love is design sense. But the fashion was a bit out of place with home decor and DIY. Too bad.
I wanted to love his show, but I didn’t. I stopped watching after a few months. I agree with those above. Perhaps a half hour show filled with decorating only. I always turned it off when the food or fashion segments came on. I hope he finds a way to rework his show and perhaps Oprah or HGTV will pick it up.
maybe they’ll retool it to a decorating show and put it on OWN. that would make sense.
Hi. One more comment –I loved the segment he had called “House Proud.” People would send in videos of their house or a project they were proud of. That was fun to watch. I was getting my nerve up to send in mine, titled “window box proud”. I was waiting to show my window box for each season. It was a fun way to peek into peoples’ homes.. one of my favorite pastimes.
I’m sad to hear this. I thought it got off to a rough start, but did think it was finding its footing. This is too bad, a great guy and I have to say my experience taping a segment with him on the show was an “out of body” experience that I won’t ever forget!
Janell
I don’t like the show. Drives me crazy that everything has to be “bargain decorating” b/c it looks like it! I’ve only ever seen one thing I liked, a kitchen that was not done for cheap.
I was so tired of badly done fashion and food segments. However, I loved when he featured bloggers! Wish someone would do a show on network tv that focused exclusively on interior design AND had bloggers on the show! But cancelling Nate while putting on terrible shows like The Chew and The Revolution? What are they thinking?
I watched his show a few times but never found it to be very interesting.
I like his show and all the great decorating tips.
Sad to see it go!
I watched it a few times, but it just wasn’t very interesting.
I like Nate’s personality, but he just didn’t “spark” on this
show.
Not everyone is cut out to be a talk show host no matter how talented you are otherwise. He was a cute occasional guest on Oprah, but just didn’t have the personality to carry off a daily program. He would have never gotten his own show at all if it were not for Oprah. He might be the type of person HGTV needs to hire on to resuscitate their sinking network with a good DECORATING show that doesn’t involve a real estate transaction.
Hi Julia…He is a very nice and very talented guy – but I don’t think he has the personality to be a talk show host. He’s too wishy-washy. He’s like the salesman that’s too nice for his own good – and he doesn’t get the sale. I feel bad – but to tell the truth I only watched the show about 6 times maybe.
I agree with Gerry above – that maybe he would be good on HGTV. That channel used to be one of my favorites – now it’s just the House Hunters channel. How boring is that. I haven’t watched that channel in a long time. Maybe Nate could help them.
Linda
I liked the Nate Show. I found alot of useable information in the shows. I understand that the whole hour couldn’t be filled with Nate’s interior ideas, maybe it should have been a half hour show. Maybe Oprah will find a place for him on her OWN network.
I have watched it from the beginning. I particularly enjoyed the how to’s and design segments. Nate, you have a wealth of knowledge to share, please continue to do it somehow. Good luck and God bless!
I enjoyed the decorating part of the show but there seemed to be way more of the other stuff I wasn’t interested in. I stopped watching it because there were very few parts I actually enjoyed.
Sad to hear the show will be canceled.
Enjoy his design suggestions and showing how to decorate with what you have.
Like Nates personality and kind heart.
Wishing him much success, joy, happiness.
This doesn’t surprise me-Nate didn’t stay true to himself. His show was trying appeal to too many different audiences. The work he presented on the Oprah show was awesome and high-end and that’s why I loved him. The decorating on Nate show was tacky. I didn’t want to see him cook or do makeovers – I quit watching.
Nate is adorable, kind, sweet and a very classy man. I am sad that it didn’t work for him. I still hope to see him around. Good luck Nate!
The show should have concentrated on what he does best – design (lessons & tips, makeovers, etc). I personally enjoyed the ‘House Proud’ segments from the viewers. I found the hour format too long and ended up fast forwarding thru the cooking & fashion segments. Perhaps HGTV will offer him a new show which really showcases what Nate does best!
Yes HGTV are you listening?!
I am not into all of the fashion and cooking. Love the home decorating, Mr. Goodwill Hunting, furniture makeovers, house prouds and all. Give him another chance. Best wishes to you Nate!
What a shame? I loved this show as long as he was talking about design which he has such a gift of. He should change his show to design only and stop the other stuff which I see too much on TV now. Nate should redo this show and come back on another channel.
That’s disappointing! I’m not a huge fan, but I do watch occasionally. I thought Nate really understood the SAHM audience and the need for small budget design solutions. The cooking segments weren’t my favorite, but I did think it was adorable how clueless he is about cooking. I agree with everyone else who said that HGTV needs to do a show with him.
I will be very sad to see the Nate Berkus show not return for a 3rd season. I have been a fan of his since he was on Oprah. I was on his show on the 1st season in Sept. when it was just starting out. I wrote a letter about decorating and I was chosen to be on the show to help with my decorating. I left there with a beautiful dining room set…thanks to Nate Berkus and his show my dining room is no longer empty (as it was for over 7 years)…it has changed the feel of my house and really changed how I decorate! Everyone on the show including Nate Berkus were so gracious and welcoming! I think he helped so many people and I loved his show. One of the things I loved about it was he had normal people like myself on his show and he really helped a lot of people with decorating and other things. I will really miss the show and I hope he gets picked up by another station.
Amber
I like Nate and his design, but the was mostly painful to watch. He never seemed in his element. I think if he had a 30 minute decorating show with the decorating segments he did well, it would have been watched more. Love his decorating and hope to see more of that in TV-land!
Unfortunately I’m not surprised the show was cancelled, I have to agree with everyone that said it was boring or that the food and fashion did not seem to fit. If they had just gone with his designing, the show would have been a hit. He is also incredibly stiff when doing interviews which makes sense because he is a designer!! Also, for those of us who love design, his set was totally boring, audience to close, poor lightning, etc. I had set it up to dvr when it first came on, within one week I knew I couldn’t get through an entire hour of it.
I think it was ridiculous to think that just because he is gay, he would want to talk about food or fashion. He has said a million times, he doesn’t like to cook and honestly why in the world would a successful designer care about friendly clothing prices for women ??? Too bad he didn’t have control over the show and where it was headed. I wonder if there will be a spot for a new show on OWN??
tina
I like Nate as a personality but I never did connect with his show. He always seemed a little uncomfortable or unprepared or something. I’m sure Ms. O will step in at some point and find him something else~
Wow – this is the first time I’ve heard about the show being cancelled – soooo disappointed!! I really enjoyed it! I PVR all new episodes and love sitting down with a cup of coffee and taking some ‘me’ time while watching. Nate is so real, so warm, and so down to earth. As a designer, he is amazing!! I really hope that he moves on to even bigger and better things – I will always be a fan!!
I loved Nate from the first time he was on Oprah….and was quite thrilled when he got his own show…BUT upon it’s arrival I quickly found it wasn’t all about decorating. I TiVo’d it every day but found I would fast foward through segments. I was sick of Nate saying “I can’t cook” and so on. I wanted to see a show about design – in ALL its aspects. I am sorry Nate’s show was cancelled but not that surprised it happened……..BUT it won’t shake my love for him as a designer. I bet you at some point all the former episodes of his shows will appear on OWN.
Nate, I love your show.My wife and I are home every day and plan on sitting down together to watch you. I think its your personality that make the show.My wife is fighting Brain Cancer and always tells me its time for Nate. I wanted you to know how we always look forward to the show. I would think you will do greater things in the future if the show ends.I think many people enjoy your show.I pray this doesnt become any kind of a extreme heartache for you. we love you,Tim & Leslie
I really liked the design portions of the show. Some of the interviews in the beginning started off rough but he got the hang of it and did a lovely job with Elizabeth Edwards. I wish it would have been maybe a half hour show all about design and decor and let him do what he does best. The other sections were a fast forward for me too. I hope to see him somewhere else though.
I never really watched it. I tried once but lost interest when I realized it was just like every other daytime show. I wld have liked to have seen something more design related, more hgtv like. There’s only so many times during the day u can see the same celebrity plugging the same movie.
I was pulling for Nate – I went to a taping his first season and was not impressed but then I tuned in again for his second season and feel in love with the show. I will miss it!
I am really disappointed to see that Nate’s show is being cancelled. As a designer myself, I enjoyed getting ideas and learning from an expert in the field. I am tired of the talk shows that focus on all of the negative. I hope Nate can do something in another venue. Good Luck to him.
When it comes down to it, he was a terrible talk show host. His grating voice and crossed legs while standing would bug me. Fashion? Dirty hair and clothes that were too small for him were distracting. Nate in small doses is all he is good for. Sorry if I’m so blunt but these were just a few of things in which is why his show failed.
I was really excited when he got his own show, but then it wasn’t about decorating. What the..?
Didn’t watch it too often, but I did like when he was on Oprah. I do have to agree with one of my daughters. Nate always decorated what seemed like within HIS taste and only in a certain style that some didnt really seem to like when you watched there expression in reveals but just maybe pretended too.
i’m sad to hear this. i love the show and i’m going to miss it. i actually love that the show has other elements in it besides just interior design. i enjoy the fashion tips and i also believe that fashion inspires design and vice versa. i also am not a great cook and think he brings “easy” to the kitchen. i like that the recipes are simple and delicious.
i hope he is blessed in his new adventures.
The Nate Berkus Show is the ONLY talk show I watch…full of useful ideas. I walk on the treadmill while watching him…not only am I working out…I’m learning too!
So-o-o sorry to see him go. :>( Good luck Nate!
I loved the Nate Show. Has great style and I love his decorating ideas. It is a show you can relax and enjoy with a cup of tea. So sad to see him leave.
I am sorry to hear this. I watched his show for new ideas all the time. I am an insecure and undecisive (it took me 2 1/2 years to redecorate my livingroom and it still doesn’t feel “finished”-somethings missing)decorator. I loved the decorating and fashion segments. I even used several ideas from both areas. And I introduced my 25 year old fashionista daughter to pinterest, me her mom! after learning about pinterest on the nate show. We have lost Oprah, AMC, OLTL, and maybe GH (in the summer), and now Nate! I won’t watch the new shows ABC has added, turning TV off except GH, will be stocking up on my online books and going to the library even more. Please let us know where we will be able to keep up on Nates advice.
I love Nate and his idea’s. Not long after the show was introduced I was very disappointed that they didn’t spend more time on actual decorating, which was Nate’s claim to fame. There are enough cooking shows:) So sad to see it go but they should have given people what they wanted. Great inexpensive ways to decorate.
I wanted to like Nate’s show and I recorded it and watched it every day for several months. But he’s an awkward host. And he cuts people off all the time to talk about himself. It’s always all about him. I liked the idea that bloggers were featured a lot, but some of the projects were a bit lame. And I agree with many other commenters that he should have stuck to decorating. I credit Nate’s show for making more people feel comfortable with decorating on the cheap. Although he certainly can decorate on the high-end, he seems to have a true appreciation for budget decor as well.
Oh No! I love Nate, I had stopped watching Rachel, as I was tired of seeing her cleavage and replaced her with Nate. I love the decorating ideas, small spaces, large spaces. Perhaps, he could move to OWN. Right now, I am annoyed by the reruns. this has to bum Nate out, right after moving to NYC. Will miss you Nate. : (
I did not know about the Nate Show until I retired in October and was then home when it came on. I enjoy watching and will hate to see it go. Although I like some of the other viewers would like to see him do more of the decorating. I am in the middle of redoing my home and like to see new ideas that I could use.
oh my gosh i’m so very sad to see that nates been cancelled. i just so love his show an look forward to it everyday. i loved all his ideas an ways he made u think or look at something in a whole new way or use for an abject. an his beautiful smile an laghter was iceing on the cake for me. i will miss him so much. i’ve been a big fan of his 4 years now. i hopethey can find a new ave for him. he’s so talented an creative. love you always nate your loyal fan jeannette
What dreadful news!! Nate’s show is cancelled. I watch it every day and would not have known it’s cancelled except I wondered why there were so many reruns. I sure hope someone else picks up his show. I’m so disappointed. His ideas were excellent for everyone and not the people who can afford to throw everything out and start all new. Give a coat of paint, buy it at a yard-sale, etc. I am so ticked!!!!!!
I’ve known for awhile and am still bummed about it. He truly had great advice, great guest selections and understood what a budget meant.
I love his show ideas, perfect t.v. person seriously what are networks thinking another has been show enoughf with crap t.v. NO more reality about the same ol same ol . Don’t you know good when you have it? We are all on budgets give us real entertainment.
I’d heard a rumour about this, but held out hope that it wasn’t true…. LOVE NATE and the show, do wish he’d done more decorating and refurb works, but overall, really enjoyed the program and watched whenever possible.
Maybe Oprah will step up and have him on OWN!
I am not totally surprised. I love Nate and the set but I didn’t love many of the episodes. I wanted to see more on visits to real beautiful homes and great shopping sprees and deals. I live in Canada and we actually have two great shows that do a better job on homes and designs. Still love Nate though!
I’m heartbroken! Nate really did give me some great ideas and tips that I’ve utilized around the house. I never cared for the fashion segments, but I’ve tried loads of the recipes guests showcase on the show and I ALWAYS loved the decorating segments. What a shame! I hope he gets a new venture soon!
I love the Nate Show! He is such a sweetheart and it is so refreshing that it doesn’t include the Hollywood gossip!!! I am an artist and work from home and always stop what I am doing to see all the makeovers and I also love the recipe ideas. In fact I was looking at what they have on today… the coconut snowmen and hot chocolate party idea, with only to see this. I would guess he would do better if not up against “The Talk”. I couldn’t take The View anymore, watched the Talk… and now love Nate the best for this time slot.
They should just change it from The Talk time slot.
I just recently started to watch Nate’s show. I don’t know why I didn’t watch it before…maybe they changed the time slot. But I do know I do enjoy the show and try to watch it every day now. I will miss it if it goes.
Loved the show. Didn’t want anyone to disturb me while I watched it. Loved all segments…cooking, fashion, and especially the design. Hope to see Nate’s work somewhere else.
I loved this show. I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT including the cooking and makeovers. I taped the show every day and watched it when I got home from work. I am very sorry that it is being taken off the air!
I didn’t know about Nate’s show until I lost my job and was channel surfing one day in dec 2011. I like the show it has helped me be more motivated to try find new ideas for my small condo. I like his energy and interaction with guests.
Hello, Mr. Nate – sorry to hear your Show was cancelled – I was going to ask for your Help (I always watched) as I am 85 Years old and have to move for financial Reasons from 1000.- squ.Feet to 500. by March 9th, 12. I am having a hard Time getting started and what to discard. I guess its not sinking in! My Daughter will come from New Jersey to help.
It will be ok, I guess.
I wish you much Success in the Future, it was very pleasant to watch you, good Luck

I am so upset about the show leaving. My Etsy shop has become very successful this year which turned into a TON of T.V. and movie watching. I knit for about 12 hours a day and it can get pretty boring. Needless to say, this show was the one I looked forward to watching every morning. I wish they could just do some revamping and continue on. I agree with the many comments about more design and less food and style. Also the giveaways get annoying. Today as I watched the show, there was a “House Proud” segment with a blogger from Utah. Well….there was no mention of the name of her blog and no link to the blog on the show website. FAIL! That’s how I found THIS site, I began to google so I could try to find her blog. Now it all makes sense. I’m just surprised that this being an Oprah show that they wouldn’t pick up on the obvious details. It’s too bad, I’m really bummed

I am sorry to see him go. I enjoyed everything about his show. Variety is the spice of life and he provided just that. All of it was interesting to me. I am going to really miss his show.
Wow! I didn’t know that Nate was leaving! I noticed very few guys commenting…. hum!
I am retired and I liked the home- type make over suggestions that Nate has. With time to spare, I have tried some of Nate’s idea’s and they all worked. Maybe a DYI format would save the show. I’m crazy about those shows.
Good luck Nate! You are a good person with a career that should go on. Come on Oprah! Work with him to save his show! He is worth the investment!
I am very very sad and in disbelief of this great show getting cancelled. I have just discovered this show and I love all the decorating ideas, thrifting, furniture redos, fashion just everything about the show and especially Nate he is so entertaining and appealing to all ages . The Nate Berkus show is such a breath of fresh air and I am so bummed of the thought of yet another talk reality show replacing this one.
Sorry to see this show go by the wayside, there is not enough shows were you can actually learn recycling, arts & crafts and general info. Hopefully it will be replaced by something useful, fun and not related to someones problem, or how to buy or sell houses.
I’m sadddend to hear that The Nate Berkus show is cancelled. I just started watching the show, and I love it! Please reconsider!
I really enjoy his show. Please keep it(: the three other people you all
Mentioned . Not interested. If Nate goes. I won’t be watching any of
The three.
I am sad to see Nate go. He is very likable, although I would have preferred more home design. I didn’t mind the fashion and cooking, but there was too much of it. Really enjoyed the House Proud segments, Nate’s crate, and the surprise makeovers. I would love to see him stay with a better format.
BTW, Hooked on Houses is a wonderful and fun website. I’m glad I lucked out in finding it.
REALLY A SHAME TO NOT RENEW THIS SHOW. IT COVERED A WIDE RANGE OF
USEFUL INFORMATION. IT REALLY HELED PEOPLE TO SEE THAN REUSING AND RECYCLING STUFF IS IMPORTANT AND USING FOUND OBJECTS IS GOOD. THOSE SHOWS ALONE SHOULD STAY. I WILL MISS THIS SHOW AND NATE. I HAVEN’T MISSED A SHOW AND WILL WATCH TILL THE END. THANKS NATE
Are you kidding! I’m watching the show right now & pinning on Pinterest a recipe I just saw on the show! That really ticks me off!
