I love million dollar listing, but it is not appropriate for DD8. She loves to visit open houses with me, so I thought maybe she would be into a reality show about houses. I don't watch any, but I'm thinking Trading Spaces, Joanna Gaines etc. I don't want her looking up "world's biggest houses" on YouTube.
TIA. |

Most of HGTV is pretty family friendly. My kids liked to watch those shows with me when they were younger.

watch The Agency on Netflix. It's about a multi-generational French family in Paris that sells high end real estate. It's very wholesome - they delve into the family's history and dynamics. Everyone has kids, there's a wise old grandmother with funny one-liners, etc. There's no trashy drama or sexualization of women.
It's a classy show featuring some truly incredible and historic real estate in France, former French colonies, and NYC. |

it's subtitled so too hard for 8 year old. |

| House Hunters International might be fun. Often they involve families with kids, but they are shown minimally. |

My daughter's favorites are 100 Day Dream Home, This Old House, Unsellable Houses, and No Demo Reno.
Love It or List It, House Hunters, and My Lottery Dream House tend towards boring or annoying. |

You can watch it dubbed in English. |

On PBS/WETA, I like the "If You Lived Here" series. The hosts go to a DC-area neighborhood, tour three houses and learn a bit about the area and its history. Sadly, one of the hosts passed away so the show was on pause. But in looking for the link I saw an announcement that they are continuing the show with 2 new hosts and the new season starts in October.

If you can get past the oh-so-campy David Bromstad, it still sucks. Most times the houses are still pretty basic and the lottery "winners" are dullards. |

I no longer have cable and don't watch any of these shows now, but when I did I never watched My Lottery Dream house. It is the worst! I went through a phase of being addicted to Love It or List It and House Hunters. I LOVED them. |

| Do they still have House Hunters on air? I used to love that show. Also HH International. |

| Maine Cabin Masters is pretty awesome. It's about a crew of contractors that help families renovate their simple lake cabins in Maine. Usually the cabins have been in the families for generations and the renovations are low budget ($25-60K). It also provides a great overview of Maine and places to visit. Fun show and the accents are great lol |
