Yes, this show needs to be canceled
I agree with the first reviewer - this show is horrible and the hosts are annoying. The stupid "dead air" cuts are a waste of time. It doesn't build drama, it just reinforces the idea that the people who make this show are clueless hacks.
The mother / daughter host team is annoying, the mother much more so than the daughter. Actually, if they fired the mother and let the daughter run the show, it might be watchable because she's much less grating than her mother, who talks in a completely unnatural tone for the entire show. I've seen public access cable shows that had better hosts than her.
And what's with the mom holding the glasses throughout the entire show? Really - check out the show from the beginning. They usually show mommy dearest arriving with sunglasses on or just taking them off. Then, for the duration of the show - and this is in every show - she's holding them in one hand and using them to gesture. Maybe she or some producer thought that could be her trademark, but it's just stupid. You're shooting a TV show, nobody is going to be fooled into thinking this is a casual visit because you're holding your glasses. Put them in your pocket, keep them in your car, or give them to a staffer. Maybe she wants to have them handy so she can say something clever and do a David Caruso / CSI Miami dramatic sunglass put on, followed by a quick cut of "Won't Get Fooled Again".
HGTV rode the housing bubble all the way up, and it looks like on the way down they're throwing out cheap programs with bad hosts / production values in order to save a few bucks.
