Today’s Tomversation cartoon is about House Hunters. I’ve done quite a few House Hunter related cartoons over the years. They almost write themselves.
For years I’ve seen people on almost every episode say they are going to use the spare room for an office. And they say they love the balcony and they are going to have coffee on it every day.
I have both. My spare room is used as an attic – it’s full of junk. And I have a very large wrap around balcony and I don’t think after all these years I have ever once had coffee out on the balcony. I should, but i don’t.
Over 450 House Hunter episodes are filmed every year! And there are 15 camera crews out filming at the same time.
I don’t think I have ever seen a rerun, now that I think about it.
I love the House Hunters International the best. I like seeing how people live in foreign countries.
My father and I used to crack up at some of the prices being so low, yet people were complaining if they went a bit over price.
Someone would look at a 5 bedroom house in Atlanta, with a pool, a game room, a basement, attic, brand new chef’s kitchen, etc. etc. on five acres and complain because their budget was $90,000 and the realtor said the price was $93,000. Those episodes cracked us up.
Also of course, someone has a budget of $490,000 and the first house they are shown is $699,000. And by the time they get to the third house, they are within budget and I always wonder, why didn’t you show them that house first, but then of course they would not have a tv show.
Spoiler alert: I’ve heard that the people on the show have already bought the house and they are then accepted to be on the show. They sort of mock what they did while house hunting and go to the various houses they had looked at previously before buying the final house.
Other than that, I’ve read it is all unscripted.
