Home improvement reality shows

I was watching the Discovery Channel earlier today and I saw an ad for yet another home improvement reality show.

It all began with Trading Spaces on TLC. Then that type of show started being copied like the latest N’Sync CD at a fifth-grader’s sleep-over. We have “Surprise by Design”, “While You Were Out”, “Monster House”, “Trading Spaces Family”, “Trading Spaces Kids” and probably a few others.

Lately I’ve seen commercials for other similar shows:
- “We come to your house full of junk and we put everything in order!”
- “We come to your house, sequester you for two days and redo your home!”
- “We come to your house and redecorate it using only macaroni and a red marker!”

OK, so one of those shows is fake, but I demand payment if anyone chooses to use the idea. And sooner or later someone will.
