Speaking of cable goodness

The TV was set to HGTV tonight, as it usually is when my wife beats me home, and we stumbled across "House Hunters International." Which is kind of a cool concept. The original "House Hunters" shows families evaluating a trio of new homes and lets viewers guess which one they'll end up buying. It sounds dumb, but it's actually mild fun. The International version takes us, in Monday's episode, to San Paulo, Brazil, to do the same thing. It's a different look inside a different culture using a familiar formula. Cool.
