Broken House
Chronicles is
home improvement
like you've
never seen it
before. Framed
in a thoroughly
contemporary and
fast-paced
format, this
weekly half-hour
series currently
airing on HGTV
Canada,
chronicles the
adventures of
first-time
homeowner George
and his roommate
and co-host
Leigh. Each
half-hour
episode reveals
a new chapter in
the ongoing saga
of the Broken
House
Chronicles. The
do-it-yourself
duo tackles each
new home
improvement
project in their
"broken house"
with and
overabundance of
enthusiasm and humour.
Broken House
Chronicles is
about
storytelling.
With an emphasis
on the
hilarious,
Broken House
Chronicles
revolves around
the interaction
between the two
hosts. The home
improvement
projects are the
raison d'etre
for the series,
but it is the
way these
projects are
presented that
sets Broken
House Chronicles
apart. In each
do-it-yourself
job there is
potential for
side-splitting
misadventures,
and George and
Leigh have a
genius for not
only finding
problems, but
bringing them to
life in a
maniacal mix of
warmth, sarcasm,
insanity, music
and endless humour. Viewers
may initially
tune in for the
practical advice
expected from a
home improvement
series, but they
will quickly
become
personally
invested in the
ongoing saga of
George and
Leigh's crazy
adventures.
