When I first heard of HGTV’s new series Home Rules, which combines life coaching and home décor, I thought: Genius! Sign Me Up! What could be better than a calm mind and a beautiful house? Therapists would be so much better if they also helped you organize your closets.
I’m surprised this show hasn’t happened sooner – I mean, how many times have you watched Supernanny and thought the kids would be better behaved if they lived in a cleaner house? And don’t get me started on some of those Wife Swap freaks who look like they belong on Hoarders instead.
Enter life coach/former WNBA star Fran Harris who helps families tackle their homes and their problems. I like Fran’s approach – she’s tough love but not too mean, and certainly seems knowledgeable about how to help folks with their lives (and their curtains).
In the premiere episode (on tonight at 9 p.m. EST), Fran visits Bob and Denise Violette and their four kids in Wallingford, CT. They’re suffering from money troubles, half-finished home repairs, and some kids crashing on the sofas.
I need this show. I hate my house and it makes me resentful to my wife.
My parents’ house needs this show…like yesterday.
Who came up with the idea for this show?! It’s brilliant!!!
I have heard the horror stories about the contractors that HGTV and Leopard Films has ripped off. Essentially Leopard Films has the come in promise them the world in exchange of the service, but when it came time for editing of “home rules” they chose to leave out the contractors or show them for .5 seconds and some not at all. I am not in that industry but you really do not want to upset NJ Builders, contractors, landscapers and plumbers. They don’t play fair hahaha. Sopranos are not so far off. I hope they learned their lesson before continuing to embarrass the reputation of HGTV. It really is a shame they took advantage of people donating products and services.
Shame Shame Shame
Your definitely going to see this scam coverend on the news
