HGTV - The Stagers - your thoughts...

HGTV has a new show - The Stagers
It starts this Tuesday, July 1st, in Canada and July 22nd in the States - I cannot wait to see this!

Takes place in Vancouver (my favorite city) at a design firm. 13 episodes are on track and depending on response more will be ordered.

Apparently the craft of Staging does not have enough drama...there are dust-ups between the mother-daughter staging team, a prima donna - Jay, and uber stager - Matthew.

Do you think this will help or hurt our industry?

And, does this mean Staging is now accepted by the mass media?

I can't wait to see it either Margaret. I sure hope it has a more accurate reflection of what it is that we really do in real life.

I can't wait to see it as well!!!

Margaret, I hope it portrays us as Professionals and not a bunch of "Drama Queens" and I hope the prices they talk about are realistic. All eyes will be watching this Sunday.

For an insider's insights into the series, check out Matthew Finlason's comments under Charlene's post about Episode 2:

David - Thank you for the link to my blog. It was wonderful to hear from Matthew.

Charlene! Well done with your reviews!

Matthew! Thank you for stopping by! Autographs at 11:00? (smile)!

Barbara! I hear you - Have you seen Flipping Out? That is a bit of a disappointment.

David! Thank you for linking to Charlene's blog! All the best!

Although the idea of the show is a great one, I was disappointed that premiere episode, featured a stager, who did nothing but whine and complain! Although the end result was nice, he made it painful getting there!

I love watching all of the shows on HGTV but find more often than not it gives the public a false impression on what can be done with very little or no money.

Hi Margaret! It was great to see you at the ADE conference! I just joined active rain today. Will figure out how to navigate this site in time. Just wanted to say hello.

Hi Claudia! Thank you for stopping by! Conference was wonderful! And the egg lady (lol) was fantastic! Welcome to the Rain!!!

I love the show... love love love it actually. I still have to watch this week's tivo'd show, but I do watch them every week and am thrilled they are coming back next season!
