I know I saw a thread or posts about this show, but I really need to post about how great The Julia Child Challenge is! The episodes are all down loaded so one can binge. Not only do you get Julia on B/W television spots, but it is hosted by Antonia LoFasso and the guest judges (rotating by episode) including Dorie Greenspan and Stephanie Boswell. Jacques Pepin also makes an appearance. Loved it! I loved this show! It also aired on Food Network, so there's more discussion about it in that massive thread... The Magnolia Channel finally premiered and after looking at the programming and hosts I can definitely say that I am not the demographic this channel is looking for, which is fine. I'll watch Fixer Upper Welcome Home and a couple of other things on it but otherwise not interested. It's funny, ever since the channel debuted with all its 'new' shows, I still only flip over to it for the DIY shows that survived the transition, namely shows with "Lakefront" and "Beachfront" in the title. I watched a few eps of Joanna's cooking show... I guess the joke there is that she's actually not that great a cook, and quite messy while she works. Or maybe I just saw episodes where that happened and she's actually better at it? I haven't gone back yet to find out.

Trixie Motel premiered today on Disco+. It stars Drag Race veteran Trixie Mattel, as she and her partner buy a rundown motel in Palm Springs, and try to convert it into a unique getaway with her personal stamp on it. If you like her in UNHhhh and Netflix's I Like To Watch with Katya, and all her other videos on Youtube, then you'll love this show. The first two episodes dropped today, and I guess one more will drop each Friday. (And yes, it's a real business that is now open:) Trixie Motel website

Discover had dipped deeply in their catalog and I've discovered 2 great shows dealing with living internationally. "Could I Live There" originally aired on the Travel Channel and basically gives people who have been given prospective job offers in foreign countries a chance to visit for three days to explore, meet with an expat to discuss life in that area, and a real estate agent to show them properties so they could have some idea of how much it costs to rent/buy in that area and what to expect for their money. At the end of the three days they decide whether or not to take the plunge and there's a 3 month update. Some people were like "Yay" some were like "Not feasible" and some were like "Yay, but not right now." It's a really enjoyable show that I wish had more seasons.
The second is "Living Abroad" which basically follows expats in different countries. It's a fun show but out of the two I prefer "Could I Live There."
