Home Town Takeover is a 2021 reality TV show hosted by the beloved host and craftsman Ben Napier, his wife and business partner Erin Napier, and Jennifer Lee Smith. The show is a spin-off of HGTV's "Home Town," where Ben and Erin helped revive their small town of Laurel, Mississippi by remodeling homes and revitalizing the community. Now, they're taking their talents on the road to help a struggling small town turn itself around.

The concept of the show is that the hosts travel to a struggling small town - one that's seen its downtown fall into disrepair or lost its sense of community - and help transform it into the charming, vibrant place it once was. The town must submit its story and make its case to Ben, Erin and Jennifer, with the hope of being selected for the show's makeover. If selected, the hosts spend six weeks in the town, taking on a massive renovation project for a deserving family in need of a new home, along with several smaller projects throughout the town.

The show not only focuses on the renovation projects themselves but also on the town's residents and their stories. The hosts meet locals, learn about the town's history, and listen to their community's needs and wants. They work with town officials to identify the areas that most need renovating, and together they decide on how to prioritize the renovation projects.

Throughout the season, the show features an emotional and personal journey, highlighting the challenges that come with renovating homes and updating neglected areas. The series offers a unique approach to home renovation through a perspective that's not just about the renovation projects themselves but also about the people who live there. The show presents a remarkable opportunity for underprivileged and overlooked small towns and their residents.

Another essential aspect of the show is the hosts' connection to the community. Many of the renovation projects require community involvement, and the hosts rally not just the homeowners but the town's residents to volunteer and participate in the renovations. Through their passion and dedication, Erin, Ben and Jennifer help bring the town together, showcasing what can be accomplished when a community comes together to create change.

Overall, "Home Town Takeover" is a heartwarming, uplifting show that demonstrates how the renovation of homes and community spaces can have a transformative effect. The show's unique approach to socially conscious and people-oriented home renovation and creative renewal has an irresistible charm that resonates with viewers far and wide. It's a must-watch for those who love to see communities come together, and for anyone interested in home renovation and design.

Home Town Takeover is a series that ran for 2 seasons (14 episodes) between May 2, 2021 and on HGTV
