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.

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.

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.
