Although my little guys aren't too interested now...i'm sure they'll be when they get a bit older. I love the activity and dynamics of this show, as well as the humor. Construction is fairly boring, and green construction is even a bit more mind-bending - but Steve uses his quirky humor, easy going style and general likability to make it entertaining while learning about stuff we really need to know. And unlike other celebs touting this stuff - I believe him and believe he's putting this to use in his own life rather than to just make a buck.

What Parents Need to Know
About Renovation Nation
Parents need to know that this series -- which suggests affordable ways to help a house meet green standards while being stylishly upgraded -- doesn't have any iffy content of note. That said, because it's primarily geared toward homeowners, it probably won't appeal to kids unless they're already interested in construction or learning more about living green.
