Move This House was a reality television show on A&E that first aired in 2005, starring host Tanya Memme. The show followed homeowners who were struggling to sell their houses and sought the help of Memme and her team of experts to get their property in top condition and ready to sell.

Over the course of each episode, Memme and her team would assess the state of the house and come up with a plan to fix any issues that might be keeping potential buyers away. This often involved a whole lot of decluttering and DIY work, as well as some more extensive renovations such as repainting or updating the kitchen or bathroom.

One of the unique selling points of Move This House was that the show aimed to showcase easy, affordable, and achievable home improvements that could make a real impact for people trying to sell their homes. The projects featured on the show were designed to be accessible to people with all levels of DIY experience, with the aim of proving that you didn't need to spend a fortune on major renovations to make your home more attractive to buyers.

Of course, as with any good reality show, there were plenty of personal dramas thrown in for good measure. The homeowners featured on Move This House were often stressed out and anxious about their inability to sell their homes, and Memme and her team would offer plenty of emotional support and pep talks. There were also occasional moments of tension between the homeowners and the team, as people struggled with the stress of having strangers come into their homes and make changes.

One notable feature of the show was its focus on 'staging' - the practice of setting up a home to make it more appealing to potential buyers. Memme and her team were experts at this, and would often spend hours moving furniture, hanging artwork, and accessorizing to create the perfect look for each home. This part of the show was a real highlight for design lovers, as it offered plenty of inspiration for those looking to spruce up their own living spaces.

Over its five seasons, Move This House proved to be a popular and engaging addition to the reality TV landscape, blending the drama of home renovation with the excitement of the real estate market. The show was praised for its practical tips and down-to-earth approach, and it remains a beloved classic for fans of home improvement shows.

In summary, Move This House was a reality television show focused on homeowners struggling to sell their houses. Host Tanya Memme and her team of experts would assess each property and make modifications to improve its appeal to buyers. The show's focus on easy, affordable, and achievable home improvements made it unique within the home improvement genre, and its emphasis on staging provided plenty of design inspiration.
