The way some people react to finding the problems in the house does make me wonder if it's turned up for TV. I'm worse in the garden than I am in the kitchen and that's saying something! I think the thing about the cooking shows that hooks me is racing against the clock.

I love all the HGTV shows mentioned, although I think the 'acting' is a bit fake/dramatic on Love it or List it LOL. But I especially love the diy related shows...the flip/renovation shows etc...I learn so much from them and get ideas. I do 90% of building/reno/fix it stuff on my own :).

The stress of living with renovations, in one place or the next, forever! For my next house, the number one must-have will be a garage. I don't have one now and sorely miss it. I need to spend less time with my TV, but the DVR helps me cram a whole lot of living into a small window, right?

I do a lot of mumbling when I watch the shows, particularly over Americans in foreign countries who can't get see past missing granite counter tops.

I have more of an addiction to the DIY network (sister of HGTV). Although there is a show that bounces around Flipping (city name). Whenever they have Flipping Boston and Flipping Vegas on, I have to stop. Granted, I only turn on the TV while making breakfast, dinner, and after 9pm.

I used to watch the real estate shows, but it makes me crazy when people walk into what to me is a beautiful place and start picking out the little issues they couldn't possible live with when half the world lives in squalor.
