Christina Hall never intended to be on TV but she found herself there in 2013 as the co-star of HGTV's “Flip or Flop” with then-husband Tarek El Moussa.

The stars of HGTV’s “Home Town” appeared at the Mississippi Capitol with others from their community to support a possible increase in a local tourism tax.

U.S. antitrust regulators have not challenged the $43 billion combination of Discovery and AT&T’s WarnerMedia during a key review period, according to corporate securities filings, easing the way for the deal to close in the next few months.

Discovery is joining the increasingly crowded streaming fray with its own reality-focused service Discovery Plus that will include shows from the Food Network, HGTV, TLC and its other networks. By comparison, the ad-free Disney Plus costs $7 a month and Netflix' most popular plan costs $14 a month. Discovery CEO David Zaslav first announced the streaming service in late 2019, but did not provide details until now.

The cultural significance of the house, says Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady, "started hitting me at first when everybody was texting me, going 'Don't you want to buy the house? No -- why would I want to live in a house that has Brady fans going by every day? "They didn't purchase the house under some great plan," says Christopher Knight, who played Peter Brady. All they knew was they're just getting to know 'Brady' better by talking to us. "But to do that you had to have the stairway, and if you had the stairway, how do you not destroy the front elevation -- which is what America thinks of the Brady house," says Knight.

Granted, the very fact that people (including yours truly) feel compelled to write about HGTV -- the network airing "The Brady Bunch" renovation show -- likely counts as a victory. Neither show really works, though, in part because they don't just dabble in nostalgia, but essentially wallow in it. That's the answer that "A Very Brady Renovation" never fully answers, despite the renovators obsessing over the small details, and the dutiful "Wow!" For many, "The Brady Bunch" was a part of childhood, back when blended families seemed more exotic, and an architect dad could comfortably support six kids. "A Very Brady Renovation" premieres September 9 at 9 p.m. on HGTV.

(CNN) - It turns out that, for the surviving cast members of "The Brady Bunch," you can go home again. "I didn't learn where this house was until 1996," admitted Christopher Knight, who played Peter Brady, during the TCA session. Barry Williams, who played the eldest Brady offspring Greg, had actually visited the residence several years ago -- although his pilgrimage there was entirely unplanned. They said, 'Well, you're in the Brady house!' "I had such an affinity for this house," confessed Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia Brady.
