Weekly Written Analysis 5, Assignment 5-1

            With my current profession, I sometimes think that I may need a change of scenery. However, I would never quit therapy, as I really do enjoy the interaction with patients. Nevertheless, one day I would love to own my own construction company. More specifically, I would love to build houses. I have always said that when it is cold outside I want to be warm, and when it is hot outside I want to be cool. However, I think I wouldn't care what the temperature was if I was doing something that I really loved. For this week's analysis, I decided to review a reality television show that I really enjoy watching-Holmes on Homes.
            Holmes on Homes has been the  highest rated show on the Home and Garden Television Network (HGTV) in Canada since the summer of 2004. Currently, the show is also broadcasted in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Germany. The prize-winning show has experienced seven successful seasons and is still growing in popularity. The success of the show is due to the show's creator, Mike Holmes.  It is Mike's comprehension, professionalism, and honesty which makes the show such a high-quality, credible show (Holmes, 2010).
            The excellent show is truthful and enlightening, as it shows the nation how to avoid hiring bad contractors. In the show, Mike also explains tips for the general home-owner so that they can manage a renovation successfully. He also teaches homeowners to know exactly what to look for in home repair and maintenance. I feel that this show is very informative, and that it reveals the truth about maintaining a safe and efficient home (Holmes, 2010).
            This show is a reality television show that shows the world the daily struggles that home owners experience. I feel that this show's continued growth is due to Mike's "do it right" attitude. The general public wants to know how to maintain and repair their homes the right way. Thus, the nation's infatuation with this show. People relate to and trust Mike's opinion, as he has continued to demonstrate that he knows the right way to build and maintain a house (Holmes, 2010).
