Hallowed ground

I don't really understand why one of my latest favorite shows is "House Hunters" on Home & Garden TV.

The entire concept of the show is that you get to know a little bit about a family or couple and their current living arrangement. Then they look at three new homes. Then they pick one of the homes. That's it.

They have two versions of the show, one for American couples and one called "House Hunters International," where a couple or family does the same routine as above, but in Rome or England or Belize.

It's fascinating to see what you can get for $500,000 in Rome (a one-bedroom apartment with some character) or in Buxton, England (a seven-bedroom home with room for a mother-in-law) or Belize (a three-bedroom house with a pool, beach, and boat slip, fully furnished).

It doesn't make me want to move, however.
