Long Titles Are All The Rage.


Since moving home back with my parents and not having cable television in my room, I have been spending a lot of time in the living room watching television with my Mother. This communal situation has led to the watching of more then my fair share of television fluff ie HGTV and The Food Network. House Hunters is naturally one of the go to programs that my Mother and I settle upon and with that has come the realization that just about every House Hunters episode has an absurd title. Unlike most programs, House Hunters episode titles are all encompassing and usually pretty funny.

Here are a few of my favorites - And remember these are the actual titles of each episode, not the episode description.

'Selling Soap and Settling Down'

'Californian Teacher Wants to Get in Touch with Her Roots and Buy a Vacation Home in Calabria, Italy'

'After 40 Years in her Suburban Home in New Jersey, Barbara is Relocating to New Orleans to be With the Love of her Life'

'A Dietician Has a Small Budget But Big Dreams for Her Starter Home'

'A Neglected Home in Foreclosure Tempts Atlanta Buyers with a Pool and More Space Than the Other Homes in Their Price Range'

And the episode title that inspired me to look with eager anticipation at every subsequent episode's title:

'After Surviving The Painful Break Up Of Her 33 Year Marriage, A Woman Decides To Buy A House In Gulfport Mississippi'

Also does anyone like David Bromstad? He is all kinds of annoying to me.
