This cable TV series managed to be a melting pot of reality show, decorating show and game show -- all under the watchful and omnipresent eye of a major manufacturer of home-improvement material. During a 12-week period, three teams of amateur remodelers (two per team) competed in renovating and redecorating a single house, room by room. Whoever did the best job was given the completed house for keeps, with a panel of professionals -- realtor Shad Bogany, designer Kelly West, builder Stephen K. Hann -- and the home viewers as judges. Naturally, the task was complicated with obstacle courses, scavenger hunts, furniture-moving contests, and the like -- not to mention a list of fixed and irrevocable rules. Among these: the teams could not seek out any professional help or ask their friends and families to pitch in; the size of the team's weekly budget (or as it was called here, "allowance") was determined by the outcome of the weekly fun-and-games competitions; and all materials used in the renovation process had to be purchased from the sponsor. Hosted by Mark L. Walberg, House Rules first aired on October 10, 2003.
