I would say anything on HGTV should be avoided. The shows make you feel like your house/property is inferior and needs remodeling. That can cost a lot of money. Unless you are renovating your whole house or just want some updating ideas, these shows should be avoided.

SO true. I had to stop watching Gossip Girl and any show like it because of the consumerist urges I would feel every few minutes…why don’t I have long robe like that? I need that necklace! Where’s my marble bathtub? It made me crazy. I did not know that Vancouver had a RHO franchise, that’s crazy. We’re such American-centrists here that they don’t even try to market that show to us =P.

I make this problem disappear by not having cable, plus I don’t watch shows like this. Also, it might just be me, but I am not a fan of large cities.

All true. I try to avoid watching house hunters international for fear of buying a million dollar Italian estate. Thankfully (or maybe not so thankfully) I don’t actually have the money to buy one ;-), but it’s fun to pretend.

So true, those shows always make me feel like I should go shopping or out to a nice restaurant. Damn you TV!

Anything on HGTV is horrible for us! All of the ideas of things to do when our living situation doesn’t need any upgrading at all.

The Rachel Zoe project is my guilty pleasure. Pretty much any show on Bravo’s network is bad for curbing materialism.

weirdly enough, despite my crazy addiction to the different shows, I´ve never felt the urge to spend more money…
