Building Roots

Yet another HGTV show with exactly the same formula as every other: 1. A couple teams up in their home improvement business. He designs and builds, she decorates the finished product.

2. Wealthy people spend $200,000+ to update their homes.

3. 5 minutes spent showing the old design, 5 minutes showing demo, 5 minutes on nifty computer generated plans, and 5 minutes on the precise placement of throw pillows.

4. A soundtrack by your neighbor's kid's garage band.

The designing couple seem nice and the setting is gorgeous, but it's not enough to carry the whole show. HGTV formulaic programming at its most mediocre.
