I have never written a TV show, living near Hollywood in Orange County.
I love Ben's humor "efforts" and his expertise, along with his willingness to learn and stretch. Erin is remarkably gifted as an interior designer. The two of them seem to have a great relationship, doing what they both love. That makes all the difference!
I am a large city kind of guy and this show makes me want to check out Laurel someday. I actually did a google maps search and zoomed in to try to find one of the homes they renovated, but then I got to thinking, "This is kinda creepy and invading the owner's privacy," so I quit.
I am impressed also with Ben being a PK, because I'm a minister and all my sons are PKs and on with their own lives and loves now that they're grown.
God bless you both in your endeavors and in your relationship. Keep pursuing love!
