I think I've seen the Holmes show once or twice.
My basement was being finished by the former "to-be" owners of the house. The contractor let them work on drywall and nonstructural walls in the basement before they ended up losing a job or something and backed out of buying the new house. The guy was supposed to be a drywaller, and his cuts and joints were spot on, however, I didn't like the way that they had chopped up the basement into small rooms, so I started taking down the drywall. What a pain. The nails on the outside just would not give. The middle was screwed and that was easier to get out (obviously)... When I redid everything, I used 100% screws. They must have done something similar (nails and screws and not just screws) in the rest of our house too as we have a could nail pops that keep coming out. I am going to take out the nails and put screws in and patch it myself.... When I get around to it...
