My House, Your Money premieres September 13 on W Network

From a media release:

CASH-STRAPPED HOME BUYERS BANK ON FAMILY FOR NEW HOME INVESTMENTS ON W NETWORK SERIES MY HOUSE, YOUR MONEY

  • New Cineflix reality series premieres Tuesday, September 13 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT

The kids want a house. Their family members have the cash. But they can’t agree on the perfect home. Corus Entertainment’s new W Network series My House, Your Money reveals what really goes on behind closed doors as prospective home buyers turn to their extended family members for financial help in order to acquire their dream home. Cameras catch all the drama and high-stakes pressure of the classic generational tug-of-war as families fight for their property pick and struggle to come to a compromise. My House, Your Money premieres on Tuesday, September 13 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT.

Mixing family and business is never simple and when it’s a case of “our house, their money”, conflict is inevitable. In My House, Your Money, all family members with a financial stake will tour homes with the prospective home buyers, and the final decision won’t be easy. What could possibly go wrong when the grown up kids want a beautiful home to live in and the parents want a safe place to invest their money?

In the season premiere, Thomas, a 31 year-old med student, wants a trendy downtown condo. His overprotective parents, Izabela and Ludwig, have the down payment and they’re looking for a good investment in a safe area – and they can’t agree on anything. With mom and dad rejecting all of their son’s picks, it’s a full-on family feud and My House, Your Money cameras are there to capture the action every step of the way.

Combat Hospital doomed at ABC

Global TV is looking into their scheduling plans given this news – to simulcast or not when ABC is skipping an episode. The show does astronomically better in Canada than the US so this doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t be renewed for a second season by Global. Compare with The Listener, which was cancelled by NBC but is still airing (give or take) on CTV.

  • Original Canadian series follows the thrill of the chase for father-son treasure hunters

Buy low, sell high. Forget the Stock Exchange – check out dusty antique stores, old storage barns and curiosity shops to see real commodity exchange in action! Produced by Proper Television, the hit-making team behind CANADA’S WORST DRIVER, all-new series NATURAL BORN DEALERS follows Jerry and Jeremiah Pasternak – a real life Sanford and Son – a loving, bickering, father-and-son team bonded by one great passion: finding cool old stuff that they can sell for a profit. Premiering Monday, September 12 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Discovery Channel, the six-part original Canadian series follows the Pasternaks’ pursuit of cool kitsch – from a 1950s jukebox and civil war cannons to Depression-era gas station signs.
